Holy crap man, you saved me so much! Having someone install new tile, but they needed to rip up the linoleum to get a good bond with the subfloor. They gave us a fixed bid for the install but (understandably) would charge us $125/hr to do the demo, and not sure how long it would it would take. I took a stab at doing it myself, and it took for freaking ever using a scraper, a hammer and crowbar and finally a pneumatic scraper. When I saw this, I ran out and bought a oscillating tool (I'd always wanted one now I had an excuse to buy one), bought a Diablo scraper (what Home Depot had) and not only did it go several times faster, but the scraper damn near lasted the entire kitchen floor. I eventually got a new scraper just to go a bit faster, but it worked like an absolute charm. I'm sure you saved me at least $1k. For that price I'm going on a well needed vacation after this kitchen is done!
thank you. I tried with a heat gun on my bathroom where someone had been a bit heavy handed with the glue and did about a square foot in half an hour, realised I needed a different approach.
My house was floorboards, then someone had installed a hardboard layer over the boards followed by glued down lino. The multitool did make a bit of a mess of the hardboard (though I could have been more careful I needed to get to the pipes under the boards anyway so it was being replaced). joys of owning a 70 year old property!
As an electrician that does strictly remodels this is an absolute essential tool. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI Being able to precision cut any material with a light weight tool is priceless.I upgraded to this Dewalt 20v from a competitor's 12v. The Dewalt 20v is just as light as the competitor's 12v. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance and battery life of this tool. As far as oscillators go, they just aren't very ergonomic tools. The dewalt oscillators have an offset handle that do make them somewhat more ergonomic than the competitors' oscillators.
Ditto! I got the Dewalt 20v on sale (thanks Black Friday!) and it's my newest favorite tool!
This video is a life saver, I was faced with this problem, the lino is glued to within an inch of its life, I was trying to do it with a scraper, now I will get one of these, funny thing to I am also putting down grey hexagonal tiles, they look really good, thankyou for this video.
Watched this video on Saturday and removed the vinyl flooring in our master bathroom on Monday, so fast and glad I looked before I did what I’ve done in the past. If you don’t have this tool by it!!!!
Great to hear that Liz and so happy to hear this video helped. Thanks for watching and the support.
Nice video. I had a floor scraping job that destroyed two types of manual scrapers and also destroyed a new scraper blade in my demo saw. The job entailed removing old glued down vinyl tile on a concrete floor after having already removed a layer of glued down carpet tile. I needed a tool that was narrow and heavy. My wrist are to old to handle pushing a scraper. I took a $6.00 masons chisel cut the head off ground a 30 sharp edge on it and stuck it inside the end of a 5' section of 1" heavy duty metal pipe. I then hammered the end of the pipe flat against the shoulders of the chisel. This tool made short work of the job
and was very easy on my wrist because it was heavy enough to let the tool do the work.
Did anyone else find one of his videos randomly and then watched them all? Lol great work !
Wow! Thanks for watching and all of the support. Which video has been your favorite so far?
Yup
I love watching this series! I live in an apartment in the capital, my dream is to be able to get a house that needa this type of fixing. I get so much energy when I watch you do it.
Thats great to hear. Thanks for watching!
I came to see a video of how to use this tool to remove flooring, and the video is of the exact same flooring I'm trying to remove! I guess it'll work!
Wooowwwww I have the SAME issue in my bathroom. They put sheet vinyl over vinyl 🙄 I bought tiles to put on top once it’s removed but this tool is going on my list when I’m ready. Thank you!!
When I tried to use a multi tool to remove hardened glue under vinyl all it did was burn the glue! Not sure how long that vinyl has been down but the stuff I’m removing is now 29 years old. Massive amount of work!
Ours is original to the house, 85 years! I feel ya bud! Perhaps it's a different adhesive because the friction helped melt the glue (made sure to ventilate the area!) and it made much faster work out of it. Not fast, but DEFINITELY a few multiples fastER.
Extremely helpful video thank you for the tip I will get a multi tool it sure beats hammer and chisel. Funny video 2 made my day!😄
This worked like a charm!!!
Right?! Great to hear Sean and thanks so much for watching and sharing. Hope you subscribed.
Thanks for the video. This helped me a lot! Made my removal much easier.
Great to hear WTF! Thanks so much for watching.
Been looking for tips how to remove this. I have this tool never thought of using it. And you took me to the store to see what I need exactly. I need specs like this
In case anyone else is reading on this. You dont have to buy an expensive oscillating tool for this. Harbor freight sells a low spec (which still is more than enought the above) for like 30$
Just for the record, Harbor Freight carries these tools and the bits for far less than other name brands. However, as with most things from HFT, you are substituting the cost for some of the quality. Great for the part time DIYers though!
Great suggestion Marty. HF defenetly has tools that are more affordable but like most things, you get what you pay for haha. Still a useful tool to have no mater what brand it is. Just get the warranty if you get it from HF haha. Thanks for watching.
Concrete Counter top. AN YES I AM GETTING SOLID HARDWOOD FLOOR . Great TIMING
Haha! Great to hear this video provided a helpful tip. Plus I may have a great concrete countertop project that I can do in the near future. Thanks for the suggestion.
sorry for the caps. i was excited when you recommended that tool. it comes in handy anytime.nice i get to see my boy BYOT making some countertops
Be sure to use a scraper tool head....totally transforms the utility of the tool.
Hell yes!!!! Thank you!!!!
No Problem Samantha. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribed.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Good job
Omg! Loved the video soooo simple. I'm getting that handy dandy tool....Thank you!
Yeah...kick ass!
gr8 idea!!!! thx!!!
I’m in the process of doing this right now to a large spare bedroom. What a god damned nightmare. I am using a multi-tool and it’s helped a lot, but man...just shoot me.
I hear ya! It helped me a LOT on a good sized kitchen but I could still do it only in 2-3 hour increments, but I got a lot more done in those 2-3 hours!
Removing old lino but oscillating tool doesn’t do it alone. Need to add heat to remove all that extra glue. Still much easier than just a scrapper, couldn’t budge the stuff
Great tip on the heat gun. I'll have to try that out. Thanks for watching!
In my experience, the scraper tool adds heat from friction and was enough to turn it to glue. Had to make sure to ventilate the place though!
Great video Thank you. I noticed 2 links for tools. Does the multiple tool packages cover the floor scraper?
How do you get rid of the glue on the floor?
Aguarrás
@@alejandroperez5368 Is Aguarras the same as turpentine?
@@rwind656 yes.
I currently have a dilema. I have very old linoleum under the carpet I ripped out of our hallway that I plan to put lvp flooring into. I started to remove a little piece of the linoleum by the cold air return for furnace and a little piece by a bedroom door to peek at the subfloor. Subfloor looks good from what I peeked at and what I see from underneath in the basement. I made a call to a friend who is a carpenter and he was concerned about asbestos in the 1960 installed linoleum. I patched in some linoleum I found into where I checked the subfloor. I am now leaning towards leaving the old linoleum and putting underlayment and flooring over it. My friend is quite adement about the asbestos issue. I have a Makita oscillating tool with the sharp smooth blade but I don't know.
Your right to be concerned about asbestos and should take the proper persuasions like having a good ventilator mask and eye protection. However, in my opinion if you have those items and your not removing 1960 Linoleum every week then I wouldn't be too concerned. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks for subscribing as well.
Great tool. Thanks for sharing.
Guess what canadian tier has it for $99.00 instead of 189.00 on Amazon. I suggest looking at local stores before you order. Thanks for the video
Interesting. Do they ship to the US? Never heard of them. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video.
So what about the rest that didn't come up? How do u get that off the floor????
Doing this to my kitchen and damn, even with the multi-tool, it's a bi*** to remove 😭
How long do you take to removed 700 sq ft of LVT with that tool ?
Which blade did you get to use on the vinyl as u didn't say???
There is a link in the description of the video Chris but just in case here it is as well. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video. amzn.to/3hgH9x0
Did u use the standard cutting tool to remove the flooring?
Hi, im having heck of a time getting a vintage linoleum floor up. It has black tar paper behind it and nails all over. What do you recommend?
Before uplifting any Flooring check first if it not asbestos under..
In this video you seem to be leaving stripes of that glue behind. That's the most difficult part.. does the tool handle that too?
You can use a commercial adhesive remover (like professional Goo Gone) a scraper, and a grinder with a diamond grinding wheel.
floor sander, or if they use a heast gun and the tool it might get more of the glue up also
Just remove the 1/2” subfloor you want a new piece of subfloor to start
If it's in the kitchen sometimes the subfloor runs under the cabinets...other dilemma 😢
Harbor freight 20$ no added extras. 40 $ with accessories. 20% off coupons makes it eight bucks less as well........
Instead of buying that special blade, I'm going to grind the teeth off of a dull blade and see if that works.
Good point and I bet it would work for a little while at least haha! Thanks for watching Alex and hope you enjoyed the video.
Will this tool remove lino that's glued on to stair's for year's please
There are a lot of variables to consider but I would say if it can remove what I have shown in the video and it looks somewhat similar to the lino you have then give it a go. Thanks for watching LBP.
I want one.. 😉
Or just add more vinyl onto the existing floor to make it have 3 lares lol oviously previous owner didn't have one of though tools
That would have been a classy look for sure haha. Thanks for watching.
Blow torch works well...but not on wood..I would think
Just cut into smaller strips about 100 mill and rip it up with your hands. It will take 10 minutes. I’m all for working smarter and not harder but time is money.
Use HEAT!
Good point Lisa. Also, I just used this set recently and it worked out amazingly: www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-49-22-5403-Material-Removal-3-Pack/dp/B005QSD512/ref=as_sl_pc_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=b0f86-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=1a70767a9b4f8269aad94e9059cad236&creativeASIN=B005QSD512
Is that Greg Brady?
Is that a Brady Bunch reference?..... haha! Thanks for watching Guy.
@@BYOTools You Rock man thanks for the great video.
@@BYOTools How old was the home? Isn't it likely to contain asbestos in the paper backing? Thanks
How do you deal with stubborn leftover paperback from the vinyl?
I've been using a 4 foot scraper...it suuucks.
Not blocking the soil pipe? Good video otherwise
Is trying to be funny, the new cool
Block that toilet drain.
Does nobody care about asbestos?
Since this is an oscillating tool it doesn’t kick up much dust which is the dangerous part about asbestos. But I should be wearing a mask in any case. Thanks for watching Ashley.
@@BYOToolsYeah I was really shocked at how little dust it created. We had just installed brand new cabinets and I was totally worried about getting them dusty and grimy, but even working close to them it created very little dust. The much bigger problem is smoke from heating up the adhesive, so make sure the area is well ventilated anyways!
