Abstract: A tool for applying grout into a recess between adjacent tile surfaces comprises a body for gripping by the user formed with an elongate, resilient channel member adapted for retaining a line of grout and delivering the grout directly into the recess by aligning and pressing of the channel member over the recess. A finishing portion can be formed on the same body or a separate body for compressing and shaping the grout after delivery into the recess. The tool of the present invention avoids wasting of grout and increases the speed of application without sacrificing the appearance or integrity of the grout joint.

Abstract: A cutting and grinding tool for removing grout from between tiles comprises a rotatable cutting disc formed with a plurality of radially extending teeth about the circumference of the disc. A drive gear engagable with the teeth is rotated by a power drill to exert a drive force to rotate the cutting disc. The disc teeth serve a dual function of performing a cutting and grinding operation and transmitting the drive force of the drive gear to rotate to the disc. The tool is simple in construction, reliable in operation and easy to control in order to efficiently remove grout from between tiles.

Abstract: A caulking accessory is for use with a caulking cartridge and caulking gun, particularly for sealing cracks. The caulking accessory comprises a body, a blocking portion located adjacent a distal end portion of the body, and a connecting portion located adjacent a proximal end portion of the body. The body has a body opening extending between the end portions and is cooperable with a nozzle of a caulking cartridge. The blocking portion communicates with the body opening and has a blocking surface cooperable with a surface to be sealed. The connecting portion has a pair of moveable arms on opposite sides of the body opening which cooperate with the caulking gun and cartridge to be retained thereon. Preferably, the arms are hinged with respect to the body so that, in an operative position thereof, the arms enclose portions of the nozzle therebetween.
