    Default If you had £50...

    Just out of interest and for a bit of fun, if someone gave you a £50 voucher to spend on a tiling product that you don't necessarily need what would you buy? (if you have already bought something that you dont really need but find useful for comfort/time saving reasons then you can say what it is too)

    personally i think i would buy some sort of laser for getting straight lines - probably just me but i hate using spirit levels.

    Jag000 ; Is this a competition because if it was I'd come 2nd.

    no sorry this isnt a competition, maybe i will make it a competition when im rich enough from tiling.

    ive saw a video for the fein saw thing, looks really useful for replacing broken tiles, especially the part that gets rid of the adhesive...scrapers never do the job 100%
