Saw the video, great idea, but my glue must have been so much stronger than the one in your videos. It took a mini-sledge hammer to get the pry bar under it. Tried the saws-all, I could get the saw blade under the floor, but it would just stop at hard parts of the glue. Went with the pry-bar on looser pieces, and used a Spyder Scraper in the saws-all to get the tougher ones, worked better than the 9" blade. I did cut the floor prior and it did make it easier. Thanks for posting!
@gastoddart Thanks for the comment. Your glue must have been more apoxy like than the tacky glue that I had. I have tried using the scraper blade that Milwaukee makes for the sawzall, but found that it seemed to break quickly. Glad to hear you've got the floor up.
Thanks for the comment. I did make cuts with my circular saw into the hardwood about every 2 feet to a depth of the concrete. This may not be clear in the video. The main purpose of the sawzall was to free the wood from the adhesive.
you sir are a genius and a lifesaver! thank you for sharing.
