Default What Tool to strip off Stucco Color-coat easily

Not sure what to use, so I'll see if anyone else has done it...

Need to turn a Once Upon A Time exterior concrete block wall (they
added on the current garage about 40 years ago) into a proper interior
wall - the previous owners cheated and glued cork over the stucco.

Now I need to strip off the top layer of color coat and the mastic
from the cork tiles - about 1/4" max and leave some "tooth", and put a
skim layer of California One-Kote interior plaster A little sanding,
a little PVA Primer, a little paint... Instant interior wall..

Needle scaler? One of Tom's Ohio Brush impact brushes? Some sort
of power scraper?

The 5-HP Compressor and refrigerated air dryer are 10' away, so
power is not an issue - but false starts are. Harbor Freight, Home
Depot and OSH are two miles away.

Have to dig a slot and bury the light switch electrical steel flex
conduits flush into the wall too, but that's not a problem.

I will be facing a similar effort in the near future, so please keep
us posted with your experience.
