If you are working on a large-scale or challenging scraping project, you might find it easier to use a powered floor or wall scraper.
These are a quick and easy solution to removing unwanted material from large areas, and are particularly effective in removing sections of lino or ceramic wall tiles.
As you would expect, powered scrapers are more expensive. If your project is of a smaller scale, a manual scraper should be sufficient.
However, affordable electric scrapers are available and may make your scraping task less time-consuming.
For large, industrial floor-scraping projects it will not be economical to use a hand-held scraper. You might want to consider using a ride-on-floor scraper instead.
