Multitools.......what have you got?

[RDTiling]

Bosch GOP250CE 240V for me.

Great tool for grout removal and also trimming the bottom off architraves. I've even used it for for taking adhesive off the bottom of old tiles that have come loose so that the tile can be re-used.

If you have a steady hand, you can even use if for cutting metal tile trims, but to be honest a hacksaw does a quicker job!

Has anyone found a decent blade for grout removal? ......never come across a one yet!

I did get a genuine Fein grout removal blade about 18 months ago to replace the original blade(5yr old) and it was thinner that the original and about as flimsy as you could get.

I've got two: cheapy Lidl that I use mostly (now with Saxton blades), surprisingly quite good and AEG cordless used just intermittently.

Diamond tipped fein blades for grinding out grout over £100 here, was glad when the patent expired, get 2 different types for under a tenner now, not as good quality as fein but don't and won't do re-grout jobs, just the odd replacing damaged tile

I paid £50 for one of the diamond tipped blades once....and mean once, a total waste of money.

I've a Fein Multimaster 240v, the old type. Vibration is quite high and the blades are dear. Good job I don't use it much.

Had a Bosch GOP250 that burnt itself out 3 times and generally rattled itself to pieces in 3 years. Replaced it with a £70 Erbaur from Screwfix and is much more refined.
