Newbie looking for essential tool advice - Tile Advice

[Marty80]

I’m Marty, I’m new and I’m looking for some tool advice.
I am just starting out and beginning to put a tool kit together, what would you guys recommend would be the essentials and which brands?
I want to buy quality so it lasts as plan to be doing this for a while.
Cheers guys
Marty

What have you bought already?

I have basic hand tools, I bought a set of trowels and float for grouting.
Got some Stabila levels 60cm 120cm and 180cm.
I need a mixer and cutter was thinking of getting a Rubi not sure of the model.
Possibly a laser of some kind.
Cheer guys

For lasers depends on your budget

Did they give you a list of tools you'll need on your course? ..which course was it you did?

 

[Andy Allen]

If you want tools that last I would get a Sigma cutter.....




Only girls use rubi's....

 

[Marty80]

I did the Able Skills beginner and advanced courses. I have read on here about some members struggling with Sigma cutters so thought a Rubi might be a better one to start with. Do you think a 360 laser is essential from the beginning or could I get by with the levels for now.
Cheers guys

Not as tough as using a Rubi for 40 years...
