Is this something I can use to get a glued shag carpet off of a cement basement floor?

If you have or can borrow a decent size air compressor, I would use a Long Reach Air Scraper like this oneIronton 42in. Long Reach Air Scraper [Misc.]I got mine from Harbor Freight, your local store may have them in stock.I have used it for removing glued down vinyl, which was really sticky, and tile, which just came right off.It may not work too well on a small compressor, this thing requires a lot of air.

The tool only has a 1.5" blade, so yes you can remove glued shag carpet, but only one small section at a time.

Yes it will hold your rug to the cement, I use this to hold wires on my cement wall. � have good day

Not sure if the suction is strong enough to pull cat litter out of a deeper pile carpet. If it is a low pile berber type carpet I would think it would work okay.

It probably would, you might have to pop a starter hole first if the carpet is really thick. I am done with the pliers I bought if you want to buy mine. Let me know.

Putty knife and a hammer would work great. Just put the putty knife between the concrete and plastic and hammer it in to remove the adhesive.

I have not used it for removing tiles, however, if used to remove floor tiles i would think that it will do the job.

I believe it will work for marine carpet as long as the carpet is thin enough that the two pieces of the snap that you are using the tool to crimp together, are long enough to go through the carpet. They come in two different lengths. The tool has great leverage. That won't be the problem. I made a boat cover out of Sunbrella material and used the tool to install all of the snaps. The tool doesn't have a long depth to the throat of it, so snaps can only be set in from the side an inch or less. You will need to punch a pilot hole with something.

Try a product by the name of "goof off" It should take the glue off and not damage the floor. Use alittle at a time

It might but I haven't used mine for that. You might consider buying, renting or borrowing a flooring nailer/stapler; there are cheap ones for about the same price. I bought this stapler to install 1X6 pine t&g; carsiding to wall and ceiling framing with 2" staples and 1/2" wainscoting to wall furring with 1 1/2" staples.

It would probably work on a sealed and polished concrete floor. It would be very slick when you do it due to the amount of moisture it produces.

Yes I have used it to cut carpet. It was a thinner carpet so not sure about thicker carpet

I've actually used this to fix a fraying carpet, and it worked! However, I don't know if this glue was the kind your carpet guy actually intended...

Honestly in my opinion of using a few of.these, carpet is no good, but it really likes to stick to hard wood floor. Only problem is it will stick to the floor but then rip off from the material.

These are marine grade carpet. You can use it I'd you need something temporary

This is not a high speed orbiter, so I don't think it would be powerful enough to put a shine on a concrete floor. You should probably talk to a janitorial supply place for info before deciding what you need.

I'm pretty sure this will work, the holes are under your carpet or vinyl, you will have to cut it out to find the hole.

Yes, and it worked great! Actually it was why I bought the tool. (Hint, I laid a thin sheet of sheet metal on the floor to portect the floor from accidental scratches & damages.)
