    Removing Glued-on Carpeting
    We're trying to remove carpeting that has been glued to the floor. One of us pulls on a piece of carpet while he other uses an ice scraper to cut the glue that sticks to the carpeting.
    Is there a more efficient way to do this sticky job?
    Thanks in advance.

    The multimaster Fein Power Tools USA Quality Precision Power Tools. There are a couple of look alikes now. One from Dremel.

    Thanks, we tried a similar tool today to no avail.
    The flooring store that will be installing the linoleum just said it is always a bear to remove glued on carpeting and to pull it up by narrow strips. This is going to take forever!
    Thanks again for your suggestion.

    Here is the Dremel video describing the process of removing glued down carpet.

    The Fein Multimaster doesn't vibrate as musch as the dremel does. I own the former and played with a live demo of the later at Home Depot.
