Hi All

I been looking for a cutter of this size for a while, at a cheap price.

After reading on this forum a few week ago, that Big Clinkers were going for £50 at tradepoint. i called into B&Q yesterday, opened a trade account at the TradePoint counter. Just took a letter head.

After looking through their catalogue, the Big Clinker 25"/60cm, was in there at £68+vat. I asked the girl on counter if these were going for £50 previously. She typed in the code, and it came up as £38 INCLUDING VAT!!!!

Obviously i snapped it straight up. She wasn't sure if they are to be discontinued or something, but said they had 6 in stock (at Oldham).

Got it home, and it is a big boy! You'd probably get your money back weighing it in at the scrap yard lol!

I haven't experience of many other cutters, except the one i used on my training course (Rubi Star 40). But this big clinker is 99% steel, really solid feel. Infinitely better than the Rubi Star imo. I cut a few standard ceramic 30x30 floor tiles (not much of a test) but the cutter has a solid feel and a very easy clean cut. Absolute bargain!!

TradePoint account also gets you 60% off all their Cooke & Lewis kitchens, 55% off all bathroom suites and quite a bit more. I like it!

I have been looking at the bathroom suites.. in Trade point.. shower bath for 99 quid.. etc.. not sure what the acrylic is like but worth a look i think..

As regards to your cutter.. Deffo a bargain..

50 is cheap 36 is a steal

Yea i thought so

Nice one Ant

i might nip up and get another one and put it in the loft as spare

Hi all
Does anyone know where I might be able to get some new rails for a Big Klinker? I've had mine a few years and the rails are pretty scored up now. Ant do you still have the instructions? If so is there anything in there about spares?
Cheers.

Might be just as cheap to get a new one..

Yeah you're probably right if I can find one at that price, I paid about £75 for mine I think. Will check B&Q tomorrow.
