Steer clear of the Bosch mate they burn out very easy after a prolonged use i.e. removing a lot of grout. Get a Fein you will not regret it, amazing tool. | | |

There are posts about this in the forum - It's nowhere near as good as the Fein.

How good are these then?
I have my trusty hand saw placed on a tile for trimming doors and surrounds. A serrated grouting tool for removing grout. A hammer and chisel for cutting out hinges. Pad saw for those holes in plasterboard - what else does it replace? I love tools, but how versatile is this fein thing?

frogeye | You will jump up and down on your grouting tool after you have used a Fein mate, so good. | | |

I promised to do a bit of re-grouting in a sauna for a gym I do a fair bit of work for.For the job I purchased a fein but it didn't arrive in time so I used a grout rake,after an hour my hand was cramping up and I'd scratched 5 tiles but luckily there wasn't much to do.
I've been working on a bathroom showroom and people have damaged tiles installing trays,toilet roll holder etc.,so I got to use the fein.Having used it I know I could have done the sauna in less than 5 minutes without scratching any tiles.I would have had amazing difficulty this week changing all the damaged tiles without this,the finish it gives is fantastic,once you've used one you can't live without it.
