If you have any problems getting used to the pull action scoring, or want a bit more power from scribing and breaking, buy the Klick Klock handle.
It is superb.

I use a genesis dry cutter that I bought from Darren at Nett. He recomended it and I have used it ever since. I find it great and accurate.

I got the genesis as well. Also bought it from darren at nett. It came recommended from another tiler besides darren, so went for the 600. Only used it a couple of times but this was on 9mm, 600x300 porcelain both jobs and found no problem. Wet cutter is plasplugs mastertiler, - excellent value for money imo.

Thanks for the reply. I was eyeing one some time ago, but the thought of lugging it around kind of put me off.

Only been tiling for a short time and used Rubi TS40 and Plasplug mastertiler. Just recently bought a TS50plus and now realise it should have been aTS60plus so for the odd job i'm going to buy the Big Clinker from Topps. See how this works out.
