It’s New tools tuesdays

[GoneGuy]

i popped into topps tiles to pick up a Rubi 40ltr tub bucket and free trowel for £12.
I bought the bucket to make life easier cleaning as was told it’s pretty tough.

I'll be popping into Topps in the next day or so, might just have to pick one up

Is there a choice of trowel size, or is the 8mm the only option?

Bought the Bosch cordless angle grinder yesterday bare as got the drill driver with 2 5amp l-ion batteries and slipped on the Turbo X porcelain cutting blade from @ATSDiamondTools , not going to push it hard only for smallish jobs that I’m too lazy to fetch the corded power Bosch’s! And yes I bought it on Tuesday

I rarely use my mains grinder nowadays

Don’t you find it lacks the power sometimes for the harder porc

Only if I'm cutting down one side of a 1200 repeatedly . You need to be a bit gentle on some cuts or else the tile brakes

My power line Bosch’s are a lot thinner, lighter and comfortable in hand than bulkier cordless so can’t see it replacing them.

Thought I'd give these a try.

Good blade, does the job very well but likes of @ATSDiamondTools can supply one that will match anything it does for less money.

 

[CJ]

Have used ATS a fair amount........but everyone is raving about these blades......so why not

 

[GoneGuy]

Topps Tiles are still doing the offer on the buckets and trowel,
I haven’t used the trowel yet but bucket is still in one piece

 

[judge]

them rubi buckets are very robust,a bit to robust for rubi ..lol

 

[GoneGuy]

I was using old paint or tub adhesive buckets but got fed up of them cracking so thought I’d give the Rubi bucket a go

Anything envolved with you earning money is a tool in my book!

 

[Blunt Tool]

I bought a plunge saw today since it was New tools Tuesday

As a DIY'er and taking inspiration from lots of forums (fora?) I decided that I really needed a spiked roller for SLC £23, the idea of a pin leveller appealed but they are silly money (£85 so I invested about 10 mins and say 50p into my DIY version! Seemed to work.

Pin levellers won’t really help you level a floor, just help smooth it as they follow the general undulations of the floor imo.

We are at risk of retailers upping their prices on Tuesdays at this rate

How can it be a free trowel for £12?

trowels are £14 to buy and bucket around same price, it’s just what offer they got on

We will have to change the name of th thread

So the bucket is £14 and the trowel is normally £14 too?.... jeepers, I can get those buckets for £2.45 (same type too) and the trowels are nasty and can get similar for £4.50 from Stax trade centres.

I just bought something I have wanted for years.
My wife will kill me when (if) she finds out.
...you'll have to wait until Tuesday to take the micky out of me though!
