Just wondering what people consider to be top quality and not so top quality tiling tools based on what you have bought and used.....i guess you can only buy what you can afford when starting out, but what makes of tools should people be aspiring to use as a long term investment....?


my back aches....

If you've got the cash,a SIGMA 620MM ,you're basically set up for everything,barring stone and slate....for which you need....for starting out....one of the plasplugs bigger wetsaws.....wait till your coining it in then splash out on a rubi wetsaw A SIGMA 620 will set you back about £240......but will well pay for itself.....

For the moment I can't see any reason the ever need to upgrade from my Husqvarna dry cutter, even though many think Rubi's are gods gift to tilers

If I was thinking about makes of tools that are meant to be top notch then I'd be looking at De-Walt gear and Husqvarna

The reason I chose my rubi nd200 was I could take the blade guard off and do drop cut's, Each tool is what work's for you
