i made my own one for the motor bike tyres out of a real grunty soldering iron and made a blade up that clamped to the end of it.it worked ok once warmed up and with the right technique the rubber just fell off.but took ages.

Cheers to all for offers and advice etc. I'll have to peruse these avenues and report any findings. :D
