Abstract
A multipurpose floor demolition tool enables removing, scraping, manipulating, and replacing a floor and floor covering and components without having to bend down, and with a lesser application of force. The tool provides a plate that is sufficiently flat, and has a straight scraping edge for scraping, flipping over, and prying floor components. The plate forms a central aperture for prying a nail from the floor. The plate has a first curvilinear edge defined by a claw for tearing and prying floor components. The plate has a second edge defined by a tab for prying floor components. A portion of the first and second edges are perpendicular to the straight scraping edge, such that the first and second edges simultaneously engage a floor. A handle joins with the straight mounting edge to enable manipulation of the plate and provide leverage for prying and scraping floor components with the plate.
