grout removal best tool?

[garretridge]

getting a lot of requests for regrouting and repair jobs at the moment people trying to save money instead of forking out for tiling and was thinking of buying the fein multi tool from tradetiler to make life easier which tool do you use for those sorts of jobs is it money well spent at £178 with all tiling attachments!

i bought a fein from dave and its the mutts doo-dah's brilliant for removing grout and single tiles:hurray: the blades are a little expensive tho' but it can also be used for trimming cornice etc on kitchens,door architrave at floor level etc.........

I've been looking at hr fein too, lokks the buisiness. i've got myslef a basic grout rake at moment, does the job but i can barely lift my arms by the time i'm finished! still, saves on gym membership!:20:

i have the fein multi-master really good for removing grout but as tubsy says blades are quite pricey.

I have the fein too,very good piece of kit.blades def are expensive,i think instead of buying a blade or two you'd be better buy the pack again at 60-60 quid it makes good sense as some of the blades are £30 each !!!

will have to get one instead of using my jig saw, assuming you don't use jig saw blades to remove grout Mike!:lol::lol:

 

[Tubsy]

when you've used your hardibacker scoring tool to scratch out the grout you can use ''astonish'' rubbing paste to remove the metal marks where you slip, it also take's marks off of pocelain fab stuff
