Review on πŸ’ͺ XXGO 6 Pcs Carbide Oscillating Tool Blades Kit: Perfect for Tile Grout Removal (Model: XG8510) by Nguyen Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as advertised, saved me tons of time.

Used with Rockwell RK5151k / Sonicrafter F80. The pieces worked great, the contractor completely messed up the Saltillo tile installation (ruined it enough to deserve a capital). Everything from gaps in the grout to mounds in the grout and what I love most is grout all over the tile. Then he left it for a week while I was away. I'm in chaos again. Then he hollowed out some tiles and tried to remove excess mortar. I used them to level the grout, remove large chunks on the tile, and smooth out the grooves. I still have to redo some really bad spots and orbit the entire tile to recoat it, but these blades/heads/nozzles saved me days of work (yes, it was that bad). As a side note, I then made him mandatory that he hire me as a subcontractor for any remaining tile work at my house. I assume that this way I will not miss a job for 0 salary.

Pros
  • Good
Cons
  • Obsolete
