I want to buy something that will remove a thick line of tile grout
behind my kitchen sink. What kind of electric type saw/remover do I need
to do it quickly and easily? I don't want to spend a lot of money on it
because it won't be used often, and I don't want to use one of those
little hand tools with the teeth. Thanks.

Dremel tool, with grout bit and guide. Behind a sink may not have room
for the guide...probably two inches wide.


TY, I hadn't considered that, there isn't much room there.

I assume that the grout is a joint between tiles. With care, you can
probably scratch out enough of the old grout to make a bed for
replacement grout. Use the saw or a utility knife. Just be sure to
bleach and clean it well, apply sealer after new grout is hard (usually
2-3 days, per package directions).
