Got this from Lidl last month (about a fiver). Have not used it yet, but will be using it on Saturday. Silicon and grout removal tool. Mainly got it for the Silicon removal part. Just about to put an order through to ATS too.

Thats the one. The unit itself is really good but the driver bits I think must be made of aluminium cos they wear out after only a few screws and spares are nigh on impossible to get...

removing paint from garage floors, removing old adhesive, grinding down high spots etc...a very useful tool but also very messy unless you have good dust extraction.

Hi Ash, as Neale says, you need a good dust extractor. I Lent it to a mate last week and he raved about it.

If you are grinding a floor, concrete, sreed, slc etc. get plenty of water on there, for walls get the henry rigged to your grinder.

Great bit of kit imo.

You can buy shrouds for grinders with a hose attachment...

Do you have a dust extraction shroud on your grinder Phil? I've been looking for one with very little success.
