Anyone used this

No, don't think I'll be rushing out to buy one either!

A bit diy I think, loved the way he penciled a squiggle on the offcut. It was hard to tell which piece he wanted.

What a palaver to mark a tile... DIY product at best!

bugger,i always do that,

by the time ive cut it,i always forget which one i need

memory, goldfish and three second spring to mind

I was taught to flip over the tile to be cut, position it against the wall, mark edges of adjacent tile and deduct spacer plus 2mm. Not that difficult. But if it works for you and makes you happy...... buy it.

Naaaaaaaaaaaa not for me..

The thing with that gizmo is you'd need a different one for every size of spacer, as I assume the lip on the back of it is there to gauge the spacer width.

What about of you wanted a wider or narrower joint size.. OOPs!!

Hello mate, I've used this and for me it worked fine but its aimed at 4-5 mil spaceing

it works well m8 but for one size joint only, the better way of doing it is laying the entire row to be cut out, marking and cutting the whole row in one hit, saves a lot of time and the gap between tile and wall is identical, u could maybe get away with a smaller grout joint if there was skirting going along the wall to hide the gap. That said in the right circumstances, given it only costs a few quid it can do no harm

trying to sell something to the tiling trade when you are not a tiler

looks like a handy diy tool. the principle is good.
you could probably make your own ones for the other spacer sizes or plane off the reference lip to make it suite a smaller spacing

pile of nonsense,diy at best

I normally use a 3mm packer for expansion and make up the spacer size with other packers so 3mm expansion + 3mm grout line = 2, 3mm packers. tape them together, flip tile over, put packers against wall push tile against packers and mark it. works well for me anyway

Wouldn't you know it's a Rubi user who needs it.

I'm HSE trained with an level 2 NVQ in "how to use a tape measure", think I'll stick to my method
