UK - is there a tool that makes it easy to remove old grout?

Question

in my shower cubicle. I have a leak and think it is the silicone, but might as well brighten the whole place up. Is there a tool on the market that makes this easy? Then I will replace the silicone seal. Anyone had any real good results?

Answer 1

I read all the answers to the question.

A couple of people got it right on the nose.  I liked the dremmel.  The only thing about the dremmel is that it runs wild.  I think before I would do a grout removal and replacement, I would remove the tile and start over.  You're going to make mistakes with the grout and you'll be overwhelmed.  Think about all the work you'll do, and what was the purpose of the drill, to find a leak.
