A tool is an object that can extend an individual's ability to modify features of the surrounding environment. Although many animals use simple tools, only human beings, whose use of stone tools dates back hundreds of millennia, have been observed using tools to make other tools. Early tools, made of such materials as stone, bone, and wood, were used for preparation of food, hunting, manufacture of weapons, and working of materials to produce clothing and useful artifacts. The development of metalworking made additional types of tools possible. Harnessing energy sources such as animal power, wind, or steam, allowed increasingly complex tools to produce an even larger range of items, with the Industrial Revolution marking an marked inflection point in the use of tools. The introduction of automation allowed tools to operate with minimal human supervision, further increasing the productivity of human labor.
For those who may want to measure gradients and angles a little more precisely I can recommend this as a good starter company and piece of equipment.

Good morning,
I clean them in the bathroom. Even taking as much adhesive as I can there's still a good bit left for an every day thing. Could this block the bath? Where do you clean yours?
Has anyone ever seen or know where I can buy one of these half sized notched trowels? Perfect for soap dish’s and kitchen splash Back hard to reach areas. Troxell USA make and sell them but don’t ship to the uk.
Picked up a 900mm box level for £3.00 today in Homebase! Okay it’s not all singing all dancing but just leaning it on a wall makes everyone think you know what you’re doing and even if I hammer in the screws the joiner has left proud on wall I still get my money for it back from the scrappy...

Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking about on this forum for a while now as I am (attempting) to redo my bathroom so thank you all for some really great advice and information I've already got from you!
I'm looking at buying some Kerdi Board (12.5mm to put straight on to stud walls then tile over)...
Hi
New to tiling and soon to be taking an NVQ course. I'm starting to think about what tools and kit I need and would like somebody who is in the know to give me a few pointers please.
Can somebody please advise me on the best tile cutter to purchase to get me on my way in my new trade and...
I bought some of wickes urban grey ceramic floor tiles with a view to laying them this week. However, I needed to make a few cuts using the hand tile saw, which I have used many times with ease. Will the saw make a dent in these tiles...No...It defo says they are ceramic, but I'm totally baffled...
i popped into topps tiles to pick up a Rubi 40ltr tub bucket and free trowel for £12.
I bought the bucket to make life easier cleaning as was told it’s pretty tough.
As title says, not a lot of interesting stuff, but some cheap consumables.

Hi guys, I am Giuseppe and I'm one of the responsible of Montolit Tiling Tools. I just joined this forum because many tile setters from UK and Ireland recommended me to be part of this great forum.
Yes. I work for a manufacturer but who knows me already know that I try to provide technical...

Pity about this but I tried to get a few photos but got thrown out for not getting their permission! Was on holiday and was walking through a shopping centre that was getting a refurb. There were a group of tilers doing a large floor with large format tiles. Some were mixing and pouring slc on...

I forgot to clean my tools after spreading tile adhesive, because I was so tired. Now in a bit of a state, is there any easy way of cleaning them please?
I received a kubala grout float to try and give a review.
In comparison to my Rubi float it had the same footprint size. But I noticed it was a lot lighter and it looked thinner.
I used it to grout 3.5m2 of floor tiles and found it incredibly light in my hand and was leaving very clean lines.
I...

I've been tiling for last 16 years or so. I've noticed that pro tilers use great tile cutters but often overlook hand tools. How often you bought trowel that lasted 2 jobs? I sometimes struggled with bad grout float for weeks. It all changed when I started to use Kubala tools from Poland.
