Regarding a tool for grout removal:
I have used the hand held carbide grit tool - it works, but takes a lot of elbow
grease and I would not
do more than a few tiles with it.
The best tool that I have found is relatively expensive. The Fein multi-master
tool. Look it up at
Amazon.com. It is a unique type of tool, very useful for certain, selected
jobs.
The tool is in the $150+ range. And a thin, diamond blade is on the order of
$30 to $50. The gout
removal diamond blade is a little bit too thick for the old (1930's) style of
very thin grout lines, but
works very well on grout lines 3/16 and wider.
It is an expensive tool and I held off for years, but eventually did buy one and
I find it very useful
for certain, selected jobs.
You have to decide on the cost/benefit for you.
