Something like this but with a wide flat bit

I used to hire them for jobs but eventually picked up a cheap one.

brining up an old post with a question, not sure if this is ok or not?

I have the same problem, im tryin to make the floor the same level as the rest of the flat but the adeshive is taking AGES to remove.
its a concrete floor, i removed the tiles but now im ledft with tile adeshive
this is the bit that i have in my sds drill :

is there another bit on the market that will make the job a bit quicker?

would a wider spade help with reducing the amount of concrete floor im lifting up when digging the chisel in?

Thanks

Cheers

sometimes mate a bolster and club hammer are better than an SDS

funny you should say that , yesterday i tried to use a scraper to get the adhesive off and some of the thin stuff came off really easy but i still need a bit of welly for the thicker bits, i'll give the bolster a go tomorrow to see if it helps at all. im gonna have hands like buckets if i use that sds with the hammer action on that floor for much longer.
