Tool for Removing Caulk
Create a custom tool to remove caulk and wood filler using an old oscillating-multitool blade.
You can make a tool for removing caulk and wood filler in beaded trim or wallboard using a worn-out oscillating-multitool or hacksaw blade. Trace the profile of the beadboard or trim onto the old blade, and grind it to shape with the edge of a cutoff wheel. After using files to clean up the work, you’ve got a custom scraper that will save lots of time.

I'm not clear. Which is better? Oscillating tool or normal hacksaw in the precision work.
