Can't wait till it craps out...so I can justify a Fein :-)

Why bother? I've got 25+ hours on mine doing the scraper thing and it
still honks right along. When it quits (if it does) I'll probably buy
another one.
Used it on a 12' x 16' kitchen floor with linoleum, plywood, asphalt
felt, more linoleum, more asphalt felt and it was slow going but took
it down to the subfloor planks. Took off the final asphalt residue
with a Bosch power planer. The planer spit out a kind of fluff
consisting of asphalt and wood fiber that was easy to sweep up. There
have been posts in this NG moaning and groaning about asphalt, but
this old stuff came up pretty clean.

Blades Joe. The HF's are only for wood I think/assumed and the wood ones
are said to be junk. New set of HF econo blades only $6 but metal cutting
blade would be handy at times. Have had multiple occasions cutting toilet
bolts with recip saw. Sometimes it goes easy and sometimes just can't get
the saw in there right. I think there was a comment once about Dremel
blades fitting it?

There are no pins in the HF mount to mate with blade holes. Have seen
comments about the blade repeatedly coming loose.
