Using this compared to a hand-held scraper saved me 4x as much time in the actual scraping process and clean up! Requires less sanding too!
This thing works amazing. Get on a bench and hold with your hand instead of using an extension pole. We did 3000 sq ft of removal with it.
Paid $700 per room for a pro to remove popcorn ceiling. Then neighbor told me about this tool. I attached it to my wet/dry vac and it worked great. 4 more ceilings to go and by doing it myself. This saves so much money.
Use dust bags in your shop vac. Otherwise, the wet material will dry in places you don't want it to dry. You'll go through a few bags, but believe me, it's worth it.
Bottom line: it's worth every penny.
