After I scraped in the renovation of our house me to x-ply woodchip wallpaper that was still painted with emulsion paint to tens of times the fingers to the bone, I have decided Based on the good reviews for the Skil electric scraper. Instead of 6-8 hours for a room by hand I abgespachtelt the next room, the wallpaper in about 2 hours! Similarly, the balance mass had not withstood the Skil on our old wooden floor! Even a small slot for the telephone cable I was very good at working out effortlessly with the narrow top! On the whole, a very good device for private craftsmen! But where there is light there is also shadow: the on / off switch must be meticulously cleaned of dust, since it is always difficult to move otherwise!
