Not sure. We are a pro concrete cutting and coring company. We use to break out cut concrete. But they do have quite a few attachments that may be used for more delicate operations. I'd google or check with online forums to see what's best if I were you. Right tools for the job is essential. You don't want to go whaling with a fork and spoon. Best of luck.

In my opinion, this unit is too heavy to remove tile without damaging the underlayment. I would suggest the Bosch Bulldog as an alternate. It's lighter, easier to control. The Bosch HS1465 tile chisel and a 3/4" wide chisel should do fine removing tile.

It can be used for tile removal. Damage to the walls and floor may depend on how strong the thinset is holding. There is a tile removal bit for the tool, it's about 2 inches wide and has an angle on it so the bit can go flat against the wall.

I.m a Home Improvement Contractor and I have one of this tool, Dewalt Floor Nailer. The way this floor nailer is designed it will not scratch pre-finish floor. I recently installed the Bellawood flooring and came out beautiful. You can't go wrong with this tool. Tony with "Rent A Man Renovations" New Orleans

This is a solid tool for flooring and waay cheaper than renting. Heavy! Will put a flooring nail (kinda chunky, min 1-1/2 long or 2" std), through the tougue and groove into subfloor at about 45'. I imagine this will work fine with any tongue and groove assembly 3/4 thick including tongue and groove bamboo. Not the tool for large 4'x8' bamboo sheets. The nails offered as "buy with" BOSTITCH FLN-200 2-Inch Flooring L-Nail, 1000-Per Box would be fine, I tend to also use a generous dose of flooring adhesive to ensure creaks don't start in the future also. Make sure your sub floor is solid and soundly fixed to joists underneath. The flatter the better ! Supplied with air hose conn and mallet let me know if you would be interested to buy a slightly used unit! Still in exc condition.

Hi Tom,Thank you for your query. No, the adhesive will not damage your tiles and can be removed using warm water and a scraper. Also it will not damage marble tiles. Elevease comes with simple instructions and once followed will not in any way damage your shower environment .Kind regards Dave

The Bosch tool cut trough grout just as shown on the ad video making it possible to remove most tiles without breaking. I purchased a different brand cutting disk that worked/fit the Bosch tool without an adapter at Lowes.

It actually works very well with the right tools at removing "nastiness" from all kinds of grout/tile. Including releasing pet urine from accidents.

I only use mine on all of my tile floors as my hardwood floors are glued down to the concrete slab and I do not want to take the chance that too much water with loosen the glue. But it does such a great job on cleaning all of my tile which is the largest part of my downstairs that if it broke today I would be at Wal Mart tonight buying another.

It is definitely the right tool; we use it to level bad areas in slabs all the time. Be sure to use the dust bag inside your vacuum!!!!!! We use a second vacuum when we open the front to get into corners.

If you plan to regrout the bath tiles you may want to purchase the grout remover attachment, and really not much more.The purpose of this tool is specific and the most used attachments are included (the half circle and the flat cutoff attachments).Hope this helps

Absolutely, just make sure to use a lower speed on the drill and don't stay in one spot for too long. The bristles are sturdy and can remove grout..great product though, happy cleaning!

I haven't used it yet but I found this recommended on this website. Take a look, maybe they can answer your question. http://tilecleaning.org/stripping-saltillo-tiles.htm

I've done just about everything with this tool but cut a piece of tile out. I have laid a lot of ceramic tile and I would probably not suggest using the tool to do a plunge cut into ceramic tile. I love this tool, but I suggest you get yourself a ceramic tile drill bit and drill a hole and then use a Dremel with a tile bit. It has the high speed you need. The Rockwell has amazing power, but I don't see the grout removal tool being able to plunge cut the tile accurately.

Yes it can be used to remove tile very efficiently, although if you want to remove linoleum, I recommend getting the 6" flex chisel.
