Seconded. For "grout scraping out tool" read suitably sized flat
bladed screwdriver used edge on. Done many this way over the
years. Angle grinder any use?

Fein Multimaster (or clone) with a carbide or diamond segment blade
makes de-grouting easy.


Don't know about the Fein, but the Bosch carbide blade is rather thick &
can't be used on narrow grouting without damage to the tiles.


One needs to check first obviously - but its ok on 3mm lines.

For a comparison against a 2p, see:
