Unlike many high priced tools that don't live up to the hype, this one exceeds it. It has paid for itself several times over in just 6 months of use.
Fein 63502118016 2-1/2-Inch Segmented Carbide Grout Removal Blade IS GOOD FOR WHAT IT DOES BUT IS VERY PRICEY FOR WHAT IT IS. MOST OF THE FEIN ACCESSORIES COST TOO MUCH.
This item, though not recommended for cutting ceramic tile, cut ceramic tile for new flooring. It made the job easier, faster and more professional looking. I have also used it to remove single tiles from the bathroom wall for replacement. When used as directed by Fein, it is an efficient and easy way to make repairs to ceramic tile walls and floors.
The original blade that came with my kit worked 100% better, and it was almost completely worn off. Blade never finished removing grout from the first tile. The blade was useless. I agree with most reviewers the cost of the blades are to high, I check e bay daily for deals and buy when available. Othrerwise the Fein Multimaster is a great tool for the home handyman
The blade turns out to be way cheaper than the multiple Dremmel 1/16" diamond grout-removal blades you can eat up on a large project (though I stll used one for small places). Yes, you have to have a Fein oscillating sander to use the blade. The sander has a lifetime warrantee and can be used for hours at a time without problem. If you can swing it, the Fein sander is usually available for $290 somewhere-- plunge cuts, sands, rasps-- and is far safer than a rotary tool because of it's oscillatory motion (like a bone saw for cast-removal). It's not cheap, but is is the best tool I've found for this.
