(More customer reviews)Yes, that ever enjoyable past time that all homeowners have to endure is grouting. No sooner have you been a homeowner for 5 to 10 years and you have to recaulk your bathroom or kitchen. Sometimes you have to do some regrouting work.
What is the difference between grouting and caulking anyway?
Caulking: silicone or some other flexible subtance that is placed to seal dissimilar materials, like tile and countertop, or between two tiled surfaces that meet on a different plane (a corner edge on a bathroom). Caulking is flexible and easy to remove with chemical means or caulk remover.3M 2153DC-NA Caulk Remover or Homax 5855-06 Caulk Remover Tool.
Grouting: Grout is that hard stuff that goes on between your tiles. It's hard. It's tough. It is a bear to remove without a grout saw like this one.
This product comes with two blades.
- Some kind of Zinc Oxide superblade to cut through the grout
- A steel serrated blade to clean out the grout lane
- You can use both blades together for wide grout lanesNote: you don't get extra blades but after doing a few lanes on my bathroom, the blades on this saw look brand new. If you're a professional, all bets are off but for the lay home person -- I think these will last.
I do recommend you put on some kind of eye protection. But other than that, get this and go to town. It's not hard but it will take some time and you might be a bit tired after doing a few lines on your bathroom.
You can use this also to saw out the grout between a broken tile for tile replacement.I highly recommend against chiseling grout out -- the likelihood of breaking a tile is pretty high. For that reason, I recommend this grout saw.
If you have a Dremel, consider this Dremel 568 Grout Removal Kit but bear in mind that power tools can cause damage if they slip.
