Praise the Multimaster

[IvegotsTILE]

I know the Fein Multimaster is expensive (about £175) but the first job I did a bit of re-grouting in a sauna paid for it and put £65 in my pocket.I've just quoted for a re-grout in a leisure centre shower area and the manager says it'll be a nightmare job for me,I quoted £250 for it(grout will cost £20)he thinks I'm gonna use something like a rake but I have a multimaster and I know it'll take between 5-7 hours,£230 profit for a short day keep em coming.
My point is I know some tools can be expensive but if you can do one job that'll pay for it then you end up having a great tool that'll make you alot of money in the future whether it be a multimaster,washboy or anything else.Time is money!

Couldn't do without mine

Fein Multimaster and the washboy really are two of the most popular products we sell. It seems tilers who may have been reluctant to buy in the past are now reaping the rewards. They are being must haves for the modern day tiler.

Does anyone use the Fein Supercut out of interest?

 

[Falcone]

defo gonna get me one of these soon!! they sound like an excellent tool. It'll pay itself back in no time.

 

[Varley]

I would definitely get one but I have heard some bad reports that when using the multimaster to remove grout it is very difficult not to chip the tiles, could any of you who have one or have used one give me your opinions please.

Bought 1 just before X-mas and used it yesterday and today. Re-grouting 2 showers. Messy but quick. Didn't have a problem with it chipping tiles.

 

[tysfoot]

yeah ive heard that problem with chipping tiles. i bought one and was going to advertise my services as a regrouter as well but after ive heard reports it can chip i never bothered, infact i lost a job only last week as the customer wanted bathroom regrouting and i said i wasnt able to do it. Just didnt want to take the chance of chipping the tiles........



Anyway the multimaster is class. ive just totally stripped my kitchen walls with it. fast and easy

 

[grumpygrouter]

Would it have anything to do with the width of the grout line that you are trying to renew? 2mm is quite tight, 3mm might just give enough room to do it. Just a thought!

Don't have a Fein myself yet.

[CLAYS TILES]

my wife bought me one for my birthday.............. want a job to try it out now!

 

[IvegotsTILE]

Yes it is possible to chip the tiles if you don't concentrate,it can remove the grout that easy that you stop paying attention.You can also scratch the tiles but this is all due to the tiler and not the tool.
Recently I did a big bathroom showroom,very high spec(toilet roll holders can cost £50)loads of porcelain.Finished the job and ended up being there for another 2 weeks because the fitters put fittings in the wrong place,scratched the tiles and broke tiles.They were always in the middle in difficult places to remove and thank God I had the Multimaster.Removed the grout very easily even 2mm joint Grumpy,then used different attachment to remove all the difficult and stubborn addy.
Tysfoot mate your crazy to have turned down the job,before I had this I wouldn't do any re-grouting now I 'm very happy to take the jobs,told the lads at Topps if anyone comes in wanting it done put them my way and they said they will tell all the other tilers too cause they say they all turn down re-groutig work so they'll get them to put that work to me.
You try re-grouting with a rake I can gaurantee you'll scratch loads of tiles and chip a few aswell,just tell the customer if they want any re-grouting theres always a good chance that some tiles might get scratched or chipped,they just have to except that. Much less chance with a multimaster though.
I took on board what you said a while ago Tys not many tilers will do re-grouts so theres an opening in the market,thats why I bought a multimaster from BUYBRANDTOOLS(I want a big discount next time)When work is sparce its good to have a service that the other local tilers don't have.

My fingers are tired now:sleep:

I will seriously consider buying one and offering this service,but we do really want the job so why not try persuade them to remove and retile,this would always be my priority but it is a good idea to have this tool and be able to offer this service.Incidently what is the smallest grout line the fitting will be able to remove grout from as i turned down a regrout only the other week?
