Which essential tools for starting out?

[dingabell]

Hi there. This should probably be in the tools section but I figured more people would read it in the general one. I was wondering what tools are essential to buy when you're starting out. I'm presuming a dry manual cutter and also a wet cutter, but do you also need other things like laser levels. Any advice would be appreciated as I'm starting to get a list together. Many thanks.

A good quality scribe cutter that can handle the hardest of porcelain, tiles are getting bigger and harder to cut so, don't scrimp and find you can't do a job because you don't have the right tools.

An allergy to anhydrite floors may come in handy :smilewinkgrin:
