Sometimes scrapers are called strippers. This can be confusing, but don’t worry, they are essentially the same thing. | |||
 |
The word ‘stripper’ is usually used by American manufacturers, to describe what we in the UK would call a scraper. | |||
 |
The only difference is that tools labelled as ‘strippers’ tend to be more heavy-duty, and as a result can be more expensive.
These scrapers are better suited to industrial tasks such as stripping old linoleum from the floor of a warehouse. |
