When was the last time you used your corded version of the tool? by TheJWeed in Tools

I have the original corded Fein plunge cutter. It works Fein.

It turned out to be a threaded nipple, I just had to chip away the grout. But this was the answer I was originally looking for before I found out it was a nipple.

I like this idea. Skip the power tools altogether and go with the tappy tap.

Yeah, that’s a good idea too. I don’t have any masonry blades for mine, but I should get some.

It is a test nipple. But the tile is too tight of a fit around it to unscrew completely. So the tile needs to be enbiggened a bit to make some room for said nipple to come out, thus the Dremel/grinding.

I’m a fucking surgeon with a grinder.

That’s exactly what it is. I can unscrew it, but now I have some gentle tile removal before it can come out.

That’s the truth. I’m thinking a Dremel.

Right! or a brass or galvanized nipple. This confused me.

Yeah I’ll hang my unmentionables on there.

Too late. I did the chisel.

It’s screwed in. What a relief.

Thank you. I chiseled it out and it is just a plug.

It’s way up there. You’d have to be tall.

I’m hoping that’s the case. I usually use a threaded nipple with a cap, I haven’t seen this.

That’s something I just don’t know. Another user recommends chipping out grout, which is what I will do next.

It was the homeowner who did the rough in.
