    What is your main brand of tools?

    Tile cutters aside, what would you say is the main brand of tools that you own? Drills, grinders, radios, SDS, those sort of things. I've made it multi choice and it's public, so others can see what you have voted for.

    How often do you replace your grout floats?

    I used a new one today and the difference it makes when using it was great. I forgot how much easier it is to remove the excess from the tile face and the joints stay fuller. I didn't realise how worn my old ones had got, they must be 18 months old.
