Morning people! I am just about to do a bit of shopping for my starting up tools... I have attached my list and I am wondering if I can get your opinions.. is anything missing? I have been told to go for the TS40 for smaller jobs and the TS60 for bigger tiles... Sound good to you? List: RUBI TS40 & TS60 Rubi 160mm bucket trowel Rubi 180mm gauging trowel Stabila 600 & 1200mm sprit levels Rubi wall tile drill set Marshalltown 6mm and 10mm trowels Shaw circle cutter Plasplugs master tiler DWW180 Grout rake sealant gun Rubi ajustable stands???? - sounds like a good idea ?

Well I've spent about £500 so far and still don't have a wet saw. I've a new Rubi TS 30 (nice and portable but too small for a lot of tiles) and a nice brand new shiny TS 60 Plus (£140 on ebay). I'm impressed with the Marshalltown tools. I'm still to book a course later in the year so I'm all show and no go as in racing parlance but I've got some free jobs lined up before then. Stick with the essentials (I've gone a bit overboard) and what with next day delivery you can buy tools on the internet (advertised on this site) as and when a particular job dictates. | ||||||||||

take it easy tiger to start with, buy tools as you need them , dont buy the ts60 go for the ts70, and buy the £40 plasplugs wetsaw from b+q , forget the wall drill set, get a cheap set of diamond hole saws from the bloke advertising in the forum,also forget the circle cutter, stands,bucket trowel,and the washboy , get some quality sponges and rubi snips, but the main thing you must get is a ruddy great big RADIO !!!! remember a tilers life is a lonelylife :wink_smile: oh and buy all that wivers said but he forgot the nurses outfit 2 sizes too small!! | ||
