Best Tools For Removing Subfloor That Is Glued/Nailed On Top Of Hardwood

So I have already removed about 1500 sq ft of carpet that was covering wood floors in my home. There was the tack board & a ton of staples/nails but other than that, I just rolled up the carpet/pad in strips and took it to the curb. My issue now is that I have the kitchen/bath/hallway remaining and it has a different carpet (a tight Berber) and it is also laid on a subfloor which is glued and nailed to the hardwood floor underneath!The area in the picture is less than say a square foot and it took me HOURS. (I also sanded down a small patch to see the wood under the glue and sanded down on the side that did not have subfloor)What are the best tools you can suggest for removing the subfloor (I’ll deal with sanding off the glue at the next step). Any and all help appreciated! submitted by /u/Neither_Potential434 [link] [comments]
