effective grout removal, grout grabber, remove tile grout, reciprocating saw, replaceable blades, carbide grit coated blades, remove damaged grout, removed mildewed grout, correct grout grabber blade thickness The Grout Grabber shown in the photo is a serious tool used in a reciprocating saw to remove damaged or mildewed grout in wall or floor tiles. The replaceable carbide grit-coated blades are 1/16" thick, which allows you to work with tiles that have a thin grout line.

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 edge of the tile. However, you can add a total of four 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.

A single blade will do about 300 square feet. 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.

Now, take a careful look at your tile, assess the situation, and decide if removing the grout is the solution you seek. From personal experience, I suggest that if you want to remove the grout completely, then Grout Grabber is the most effective way to remove tile grout.
