That decide to close the Joints up, never seen one of them before, is that really necessary ?
What was that Andy, a seaming tool?
A sucker on both tiles and it pulls them together?
Can be useful, sometimes there's so much suction generated,it's difficult to move them when they're fully bedded that last couple of mil without fear of breaking them.

Yeah that's the tool, I would have thought the handles on the regular suckers would be enough. Have you got a seaming tool?

Trouble is sometimes on the larger stuff when you want to bring it together that last mil or so it's oh so very easy to dink corners together if you use too much force, surely you've done it? :D
So that tool brings them together slowly without that risk.
I don't actually mate, been on the lookout for a while tho.
I know I won't use it a lot, so reluctant to buy a new one. They start at about £150, there is one I've found for about £100, just don't like the look of it.

Yes I have done just that and it's seriously annoying, that annoyance is probably amplified when the tile is so much bigger!
Can't you knock something up? a man of your means.

Often thought about it, it's just that when you have the time, you don't remember you need to do it. Haha
