Grout Grabber GG001 Grout Removal Tool for Most Reciprocating Saws or Sawzalls

I almost didn't buy this tool based upon some of the reviews. I decided to try it anyway and it did an excellent job!In addition to the Grout Grabber, I used an oscillating tool with a diamond crusted blade to get at the grout close to vertical obstructions (baseboard, toilet, shower pan, etc.).Holding a shop vac (fitted with a HEPA filter bag) virtually eliminated any dust. The Grout Grabber and oscillating tool methods both outperformed my Dremel.This is definitely a tool you need for your grout removal tool box!

This little attachment for a Sawzall cuts through old grout like it was butter.A terrific time saver!

I attempted to use it and it was very unstable. Hard to use. I tried three times using it with a reciprocating saw and was pointless. I had to stop using it. Wish I could return the item, but I already opened the package. Money wasted

I have no idea why they say this is dustless, my whole bathroom is covered in white powder (yuck, yuck). I don't know if this is some defect of my new, expensive reciprocating saw, but it also started bending at an angle at higher speeds. It says not to use it at high speed, so I'm trying not to judge the product by that. Maybe it's because I needed just one blade, so it wasn't balanced. But I found this either didn't work at lower speeds or worked at higher speeds but started twisting and creating a ton of dust. Along with that is it skipped a lot and gouged or damaged the tile. Maybe that's just my inexperience though.I will say I previously got a grout bit for my dremmel and that was way more laborious than this. But with this tool I damaged my shower enough that I gave up and decided it was time to pay someone to do it for us.

This is an amazing tool to remove grout from any size joint. Go slow and buy some extra blades. I did 450 square feet with 4 blades total. It is still a lot of work but it has to be the best tool for grout removal ever. You can take it out the saw and use it by hand for hard to reach areas as well.

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.

My trusty Sawzall is probably the one small power tool I could not live without, so when I saw the Grout Grabber for the first time, purchasing it was a relatively easy decision. The white grout around a shower in our home had past its prime, and replacing it became the Grout Grabber's first challenge. In less than 2 hours the grout between the 6x6 tiles had been worked down low enough to allow for a new grout application. Wow! Try 2 days or more with a traditional hand tool. The blade action held up well--no noticable ware. I had no trouble reaching all angles and surfaces. The only mistake I made was not buying additional blades when I originally purchased the Grout Grabber--it only comes with one, and unless you have 1/16" grout lines, you'll want at least 2 blades.

The Grout Grabber GG001 Grout Removal Tool for Most Reciprocating Saws or Sawzalls was a fantastic tool to use to remove grout. Word of caution: don't go too close to the tile, or you will damage the tile. You can get the grout on the ends of the tile safely with a hand tool. This product, Grout Grabber GG001 Grout Removal Tool, is awesome!
