    Try this...

    No mater what odd angle you have this tool transfers it across on to the tile to be cut

    Get it from Trade Tiler

    I don't have one so can't comment but I don't see why you couldn't give it a go on walls?

    yes also helps to reverse tile put the point to the wall mark at full tile point providing your wall is square if not as you mentioned measure each side in reverse

    Its a great way for the DIY but his comment - 'just look how much time you will save and no waste' - isn't true! He was using full tiles for small cuts which could have been taken off the waste from cuts 1 & 2.
