Additional Grout Grabber GG001 Grout Removal Tool for Most Reciprocating Saws or Sawzalls Information
|
If you're looking for a tool to speed up the process of removing damaged or mildewed grout, then Grout Grabber is for you. The Grout Grabber kit includes 1 adapter, 1 carbide grit blade, and 1 Allen wrench. You'll need a reciprocating saw, preferably cordless. Using the Allen wrench, mount the grout grabber adapter and carbide grit blade on a reciprocating saw. To remove existing grout, approach the grout line at a low speed and cut into the joint until you reach the bottom of the joint. It is especially comfortable to hold the saw in an upside-down position. At the bottom of the joint, increase saw speed and pull backwards, never use Grout Grabber at full speed. Be especially careful as you approach a grout intersection. A tile or two may be out of alignment, and it is possible to chip a tile's edge with the tool. Pay attention, but let your tool do the work. The replaceable carbide grit-coated blades are 1/16" thick, which allows you to work with tiles that have a thin grout line. On the other hand, you can add a total of 4 blades to the shaft (two on each side) to cut grout lines up to 1/2" in a single pass. Wider grout lines can be cut with a second pass. It is important to choose a blade thickness less than the joint width to prevent the tool from binding in the grout line and damaging the edges of the tiles. Whether you are a homeowner or a professional, this tool will get about 300 square feet from a single blade depending on how old the grout is and the type of grout used. There is very little grout dust, but it will be very fine, so be sure to use a good shop vac or a vacuum that has a clean bag and filter to prevent blowing the dust back out into the room. If you are looking for a professional looking grout removal job that can be done quickly, then Grout Grabber is for you!

What Customers Say About Grout Grabber GG001 Grout Removal Tool for Most Reciprocating Saws or Sawzalls:

It is also not a "dust free" process. Was the fastest method I tried for my job. Product worked very well out of the package as described. This tool definitely creates dust, although it creates the least of all the methods I did try. However, the blades did wear down after about 24-28 linear feet of cutting. Did not find this product very cost effective as I was using 3 blades at a time and attempting to rotate them through the blade positions. I did switch over to a dremel type tool with a diamond grout cutting blade that lasted much longer and was a better option for me as I had a big removal job (300 s.f) I cannot recommend the Grout Grabber unless you have a small job such as bathroom floor or shower stall. Was very happy with the service from the Flooring Connection who sold the extra blades for this product.
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.
The grout grabber worked wonderfully. I'm in the process of remodeling a bathroom. I was looking for a means of removing the grout between tiles that would produce a minimum level of dust. However, the blade wore out relatively quickly (worn to the point no more carbide grit is visible on the blade) and the high cost of the blades (measured as a percentage of the original cost of the tool) coupled with the small number of places that carry replacements has forced me to consign the grout grabber to the bottom of my tool box. I am considering modifying the grabber to use the standard carbide grout blades that are available at my local home center but that is a project for another day.
After hacking out grout with a hand remover,I found the GROUT GRABBER. This tool goes in my SAWZALL and makes grout removal a pleasure. I can replace a tile in one quarter of the time it used to take.
The tool aggressively removes grout down to the thinset. We had a 300 square foot tile floor that needed regrouting. This tool was a lifesaver. Be prepared, however, for a significant amount of dust that will be created and blown around by the reciprocating saw during the process. It took 3 blades for us to complete the floor.
