how many tools

[saintdom]

hey folks,

as a plasterer i often just take my trowel , bucket, paint brush and levels with me on a job, i see alot of you guys talk about a really extensive range of tools for any paticular job.

question is really how mant tools did you start off with and were the rest just aquired over a period of time.

Am heading to Diamond soon and really just want a rough idea on how much i will realistically need to spend to make jobs comfortable.

ta very much

dom

For most jobs you'll need...

Wet cutters
Dry cutters
Power drill \ mixing drill
Different sized notched trowels
Grout floats
Bucket trowels
Spirit levels
Stanley knife
Sponges
Sealer gun
Tile nippers
Tape measure
Eye protection
Tile Files
Assorted screwdrivers
Junior hacksaws
Angle finder maybe
Hammer
Workbench
Mitre block
Radio

You'll probably find you need other stuff as you go along too, but that's roughly what I started off with

And buckets...lots of buckets, I love buckets, got them in all shapes and sizes
