If you have old grout or a bad tile that needs replacing, you know you have a huge job ahead of you. I have to admit, I wouldn't know where to start if I hadn't seen the commercial for the Fein Multimaster Tool. These oscillating tools are really a time saver on this type of job.

You will obviously need the tool itself but you will also need to get the proper blade. You will need a diamond or carbide grit blade. Don't worry they are easy to find. Just do a search for grout removal blade and you will have plenty to choose from.

If you have an area to practice on even if it is just cutting with a wood blade to get the feel of the tool, it would be a good idea. These tools are very smooth and easy to control, but why not get a little feel for the tool before you start in on your tile.

You of course will need safety glasses and a dust mask is also recommended. The grout will produce a very fine dust that you just don't need in your lungs. As with any power tool, it is best to let the tool work at it's own speed. Forcing the blade through really only benefits the repair center and the blade manufacturer.

If you are actually going to replace a tile or tiles, you may want a thin scraping blade. These blades will get behind the tile and make it easy to flip the tiles right off.

Removing grout is just one great use for the Fein Multimaster Tool. If you are buying a Fein Multimaster Tool, I recommend getting a kit that has several types of blades. Once you have this tool in your collection, you will find many uses for this versatile little tool.
