Best Caulk removal tool

[737mechanic]

I am about to paint my house and re-caulk all the windows. I am going to be removing all the old caulk and was wondering if anyone has any experience with a good caulk removal tool to make the job easier and faster. Would like a quality tool if one exist.

Depends on the caulk. Silicone, use a pick, lift and pull. Latex, use a utility knife on both sides, lift out. Polyurethane, leave it.

Polyurethane (or others), scraper blade in a Fein tool.

oscillating scraper blade in a multi tool.
If working off ladders and such I really like my Craftsman nextec 12v multi tool.
I did modify it with a metric hex bolt instead of the flathead it came with and it solved all loosening issues I had without resorting to locktite.

My Bosch multi-tool has a specific blade for caulk removal. Works great.
