The answer to this is probably already on here but I can't see it. If it is could you point me in the right direction. I am having to update some of my tools and get some new ones, and the only places near me are Jewson's, Wickes, Topps Tiles so I tend to source most things online. I've looked at TradeTiler and used Tools4Trade recently. Other than that I tend to google what I'm looking for. From your experience what are the best online retailers, especially ones that may be prepared to give a trade discount.

Tradetiler.com Home is the one I use

Tradetiler, use the best, his service is second to none

+1 For David at trade tiler, Not just because he is a sponsor of this site, but because his service is excellent

Looks like TradeTiler gets from everyone here, good to know the info on the site is from someone who know their stuff. I have just been looking at Diamond Cores and after I picked myself up after falling off my seat, I thought I'd better check on hear. Realistically, whats the most cost effective system for drilling the common hole sizes in ceramics and floor tiles that will give me a perfect cut.

Eh? you paid the postage to Ireland for a few pencils? phew.lol.I always try to fill out a decent order and make it worth while.
The joys of the Emerald Isle eh !

The best online retailer for diamond core drills (we believe) is 365Drills !



Want value for money? How about £7.15 per drill if you buy the multipack at £49.99



If you need special sizes then we have 37 sizes in stock for next day delivery



These diamond core drills are a toolbox ESSENTIAL for tilers and installers of Large Format Porcelain Tiles but also tilers using softer ceramics as they make a perfect cut each time.


Even larger holes from 75mm to 125mm are covered (85mm shown)

So you can put in extract fans as well as soil stacks at 115mm

Ah but english pencils have graphite in them, Irish ones have a peat-moss centre, Useless

lol ye i payed the postage but when you need something thats the way it goes i guess lol
