Tool to Remove Wall Paneling?

This was in my head last night as well.

I have a 20" work platform and my current home has 8' ceilings.  I'm around 5'10" when I need to be (I prefer to be 5'11", but I gave up on thinking I was 6').  I can comfortably stand on my 24" work platform and paint walls up to the corner and hang curtains and my shoulders don't get nearly as sore as working on a ladder, which seems to always be 5 inches too short or too tall, aside from balancing. When I use it in the basement, I have to remember to stand between joists or duck when I move.

That platform was only 25 bucks on a Black Friday sale and I use it all the time.  Ironically, I originally bought it for our nieces to be able to stand at the counter and help my wife make cookies.

We removed rough sawn, painted pine paneling earlier this year. I used a TSC55 for some of it but most came off without it. I am super happy that we did that project. Do keep in mind that fixing things might well take more work than removing the paneling. In our case that included removing wallpaper below the paneling, fixing drywall cutouts for all the outlets, new baseboards, priming and painting the entire room.
