Default removing sound deadener in 20 minutes

So, i had spent some time plicking away at my sound deadener with a stiff putty knife and a hammer (took about 2 hours to get a 6"x4" square of the stuff removed) when my buddies neighbor comes over and sees what we are up to. He heads back to his house and brings out an Oscillating Multi-function Tool with a scraper attachment. 20 min later, both floorboards are completely bare. Wouldve done the cargo area but decided to take a drive up to harbor freight and buy another attachment, grind it down to fit in between the slates better and make the job that much easier. This tool was a god send for this job. I've read numerous posts and have not seen one other person using such tool. I urge the moderator to add this to a sticky asap. Awesome tool for removing that aweful sound deadener.
Can be found at harbor freight for $40 and comes with said attachment!

It literally made this job a piece of cake and was kinda cool to discover a new tool. Its a wonder that, with all the research I've done prior to attempting to remove that junk myself, noone has seemed to mention it. I'll bump this a couple times so folks see it.
Thanks for makin it a sticky!
