Can a tiler ever have too many tools....?

Well i thought not, till i cleaned my van out yesterday and needed to decide what i REALLY need to carry on my van.....


Do you seem to buy for sake of it or just carry the essentials..?

I have a strong box on my van for my power tools, I have a toolbox on wheels that my two daughters used to hide in when it was new, I have racking for all the smaller items and a shed full of other tools, Hitachi 110 breakers for smashing concrete floors to bits, I see it and think "I will get that because its there" you cant have too many tools.

you can't have too many tools, only a van that's too small

i have a Zafira full of tools and a shed.Wife wants the shed cleaned

Yes you can, my problem is that if I havent got it on the van I'll think I need it. Must have a sort out though

I agree with Dougy!
I need a bigger van 'cos I've filled the garage!

i have a citeron berlingo, lined to what i need, but i find myself constantly giving away old tools and old toolboxes.. i think i have it right, this month!

You can never have too many tools as you have to keep the stock up to counter act those people that borrow stuff and never give it back or just nick it out right while you're not looking.

Rant over

My traffic is full of tools,i also have a load in a store room(which will be a study at some stage)oops.need to build a garage or big shed soon.i only buy tools that i know im gonna use and are real good quality! Thats prob why i have so many and they're lasting.lol.i gave a painter who was workin in same house as me friday a stabila 3' spirit level.h didn't use it anymore as i have a better 40" one.

I don't carry my tx1200n around in my van, as my van is slow enough, but I seem to keep my dw200lp wet cutter in my van most of the time

i used to have a zafira but i could never get my shed in at all well done brian..

I do most trades, not just tiling. I've got a long wheelbase high roof Citroen relay, its nearly always half full before materials go in!

shed full ute full give up

iv'e got loads and i always buy new tools that i think might come in handy,and it's only when you have a tidy up that you realize you have three tools that can do the same job
