Bought a gadget from Tilemates (or similar sounding name) for removing
tiles.

Basically a 4" square of steel plate sharpened on one edge. Opposite edge
has a bit of 3/4" square bar welded along it. Attached to this bar is an
angled handle. Holding the handle you bring the sharpened edge down the
wall between tiles and wall. The mass of the square bar provides enough
momentum to rip tiles off walls in great sheets with little effort.

Come to think of it, it looks a bit like a small adze.

Oh and it was some completely forgetable, i.e trivial, price.

That sounds like the sort of thing I could do with, instead of the wallpaper
scraper and 'Brickies' trowel. Anybody know what this is actually called
and where I could get one? We don't have a Tilemates in Leeds.

TIA
