Built for Heavy-Duty Floor Removal

The 14-inch (350 mm) width covers serious ground when stripping old flooring. That premium flexible carbon steel matters — rigid blades snap under lateral pressure, but QEP’s flexible design conforms to floor irregularities while maintaining the edge strength needed to bite through adhesives.
