Re grout any tips?

Invest in a FEIN Multimaster mate, you will wonder how you managed without one! Dremmel is ok, but a bit of a pain in my opinion, also there is a Bosch multitool that is similar to the FEIN, but not even close to matching it, as always you get what you pay for.
I love my FEIN, grout removal, a doddle, also superb at cutting the boxes for sockets!

Have to agree totally with that, i bought a Fein last week and what a superb tool. Got a re-grout to do today to hopefully it will make the job a bit easier!!!

Is there a Fein set that would do the handyman for all tasks? I ask this as one for the sole use of tiling would be of little use to me now. My dremmel is nearing the end of its life - bearings kn***ed - so I would be looking at one mainly for general woodworking and tile associated tasks like regrouts of my home tiles.

cheers

The multi master isn't specifically for tiling frogeye, the tiling "kit" version just has useful tools for tiling included. You can buy whatever accessories you need outwith the set.

EXCELLENT bit of kit for re-grouts well worth the money as it will save alot of time and very sore hands.

I will wait for Neil(?) buybrandtools to pop along and advise on best set up for non tilers - who may need to regrout their own kitchen soon.
