You know after having a look at the Rubi kits I am severely tempted to get out my credit card - my gear is so old and battered (sorry - well used!). I'll have to wait till I sell my house though - got a second viewing from one couple in half an hour - I've had so many muppets over the last 5 months and I am bloody sick of cleaning the house (and mowing the soddin lawn) - never mind moving being stressful its the viewings that do me in.
Fingers Crossed !

I think you're bloody right mate.

dont forget decent wall scraper for those dodgy private jobs where the addy has been left on from previous tiles.
And pair of safty goggles.

i have an old cd in my glove box.... i draw round it when marking out a waste pipe to cut round. also, i don't have a fancy set of hole cutting drill bits

, i make do with a large triangular bit that does any size up to about 35mm, it does struggle a bit with porcelain but if you make a pilot hole first with an ordinary masonary or tile bit, it works great. cheap as chips... i replace it every 2 or 3 months.

its an impressive list but how much do you reckon one should put asside for purchase of tools?
I'll be starting up on my own next year so purchasing all my tools from scratch but to be honest on reading that I could need anything from £250 - £2,500....

how much do you reckon a starter would need to spend so that all of the essentials are covered and a little bit more?

just trying to work out my budget thats all!

Buy as you go IMO mate, no point in humping a van full of stuff about that's never seenlight of day, get the basic's you need then buy other stuff as the job dictates, no point in buying a drill and a set of diamond bits if your first lot of jobs have no holes to drill if you get my drift.
