I'll second that.
I got a "Genesis GMT15A Multi-Purpose Oscillating Tool" off of Amazon for a 
flooring project.  The scraper worked really well for removing vinyl tile 
and carpet adhesive from a concrete slab.

Some time later, SHMBO wanted the bathroom professionally redone. The 
contractor looked at the 1960's vintage floor tiles and started muttering 
about asbestos testing. "If the tile's not here when you come back tomorrow, 
there's no problem, right?" says I. "Nope," says he. The scraper did a fine 
job on a wood subfloor, too.
