I need to renew my kitchen floor tiles as they have cracks. I have been using the tools in the photo to get up the tiles. It’s not too bad but there is a lot of tile adhesion left which is difficult to remove. Does anyone have any suggestions what will make this easier for me. I have a hammer drill if that helps

An SDSdrill with a tile lifting chisel is quickest, They work a treat especially if you have a variable spped drill so you can tune drill to tile..
I also use a home made one, made from a bolster (longish shaft best). I cut 2/3 through blade with my angle grinder and bent the blade over. You don't need to go far, just enough to let your knuckles clear the surface with the blade flat on it. Then weld up the groove and grind the top of the cutting edge to a single vee with a nice shallow slope. It works a treat.
