thats not the reason why Dave

I was using one last week to lay 600mm square solid bedded 50mm thick flags. Mine cost £1 from a market stall. Works fine.

Pretty Pic time

Looks like mine except mine is a black head.

I bought one of these from Screwfix last week, bargain and cheaper than the wickes one. The black head one is a touch cheaper but it marks the white tiles im using

Thats a brick on a stick! far too hard like the Thor ones, you have to give it the tap test before you buy any rubber mallet too soft and too light it will split very quickly too hard and heavy you will crack too many tiles

i think every tiler should have a rubber mallet. i have 2. 1 small and big 1 for the natural stone jobs. wouldn't leave home without them.
