Summary: Grout Grabber worked GREAT!
Comment: If you have a shower stall that needs to be re-grouted, like I did, then this is the best tool for the job. You will probably want to order extra blades, like I did, to stack together depending on how wide your tile is spaced.

Summary: This tool is Awesome!
Comment: I bought this tool so that I could remove selected floor tiles for some kitchen remodeling. It is outstanding! is tears the grout out like a hot knife through butter. You have to be careful because it will also cut in to the subfloor, in my case concrete. It is not "dustless" as the package claims, but the dust is coarse enough to not really get airborne. The only problem that I had was that I had to go elsewhere on the internet to get additional cutter blades. They show using 4 blades to remove wider grout lines. Get one more blade, then space them out with washers to get the desired witdth. If there is any grout left in between it will pop out easily. This tool works as advertised, and will make your tile removal / re-grouting job a lot easier!

Summary: Grout Removal Tool
Comment: I made a mistake buying this item. It will never be used by me in the future. There was no info in the description which clearly showed one would need a reciprical electrical saw to use it. I thought it was a hand tool.
This item is for a professional who works on a whole room of tile. I just needed to remove ten tiles in one row.
I ended up using a chisel and hammer to complete the job.

Summary: Good, but slow if you're doing a lot of grout removal
Comment: I removed the grout between 2" tiles on a shower floor of approx. 15 ft sq. That meant LOTS of grout lines. Fortunately they were 1/16" lines so I only had to use one blade at a time. This thing does work well, but it's still a long tedious job doing a lot of linear feet of grout lines. It took me more than one day working several hours each day. The directions recommend not using full speed of the recip saw and this is good advice. Medium speed works the best. Unlike a previous opinion, it's not that difficult to keep the blade in the grout lines, but no matter how steady your hand the blade will eventually jump out of the line once or twice. Murphy's law. I had a matte finish tile and it did no noticeable damage when the blade accidentally jumped out and hit the tile face. I think if you had a gloss porcelin tile it might put a noticeable scratch on the tile face. The recip saw is bulky and hard to maneuver in small areas, but my floor was a larger area and it wasn't a problem. Working on vertical surfaces is probably more difficult than a floor due to the weight of the saw and the time involved. Packaging says its "dustless" and it pretty much is. It won't foul the air in your work area like dry sawing through drywall or tile will. It just leaves a dry mound of powdered grout along the lines. It's helpful to have the shopvac handy to suck that up every few minutes, mostly so you can see the line better. Overall, there's probably better tools at quickly removing grout (i.e. Feinmaster),but if you've got the time this is probably the best bang for the buck.

Summary: Grout grabber -- forget buying this one!
Comment: My husband returned this one immediately. The photo shows that it will do up to 3/4" of grout, but that's only if you buy three of them (and add them together--which he didn't do). For $45 for three, you are better off investing in a much better tool to do the job. I guess if you had a 12" spot to redo, this tool might be good for you. However, my husband purchased the Fein Multimaster tool (that he saw at the same time on TV as an informercial) for $260 and is absolutely AMAZED at the speed and efficiency at which the tool removes grout--not to mention in a clean and consise manner. It saved him hours and hours worth of tedious work. He initially balked at the price, but now says that the tool is worth it's weight in gold and would certainly recommend it to anyone needing to remove grout, tile, etc.
