An impact tool particularly useful for floor removal material includes an elongated removable rod having an upper end and a lower end. A handle is connected to the upper end of the rod, and an anvil is fixed to the lower end of the rod. A collar is mounted above the anvil with the rod passing therethrough. A replacement blade unit is disposed below the anvil and has an upper portion and a lower portion having a separating blade edge. A pair of guide rods extends between the collar and the upper portion of the blade unit and passes through the anvil on opposite sides of the rod. The guide rods enable sliding movement of the anvil therealong between the collar and the blade unit as the handle and rod are moved up and down. A tubular sheath is telescoped over a portion of the rod, the collar, the anvil and the upper portion of the blade unit, and is connected to the upper portion of the blade unit.
