Hi

Anyone used one of these? Is it reasonably quick or will it take ages per
tile - application is a whole half tiled bathroom.

By hand it takes me 10 seconds per 1 side of a 4" tile - I cant
imagine how a delicate die grinder tool could equal that for speed.

are you suing toothpaste instead of proper grout?

Just a matter of technique. Why everyone goes for those grout saw
things I dont know. All it takes is a bradawl: hold it at 90 degrees,
not slanted, press hard enough to start doing damage, whip it fast
back and forth across the grout line a few times and it just
disintegrates under the point pressure. Done.

Note this has nothing to do with a 'picking' action, which is
completely the wrong approach, but is what people always do if given a
bradawl to remove grout.

Its just a question of using the right force: enough force and on a
bradawl tip the pressure is high enough to break down the grout.
