Back Butter Buddy

[pgc555]

Has this subject made it onto this forum yet? Primo Tools

To be fair, I invented this tool here in the USA and we will be getting it there to Australia soon.
There are some there that have seen and used it. I needed to change the design a bit to fit onto
metric buckets. Let me know if this is a tool you may use. - Phil

Sorry, I guess I can answer that myself. I know yes, it has been talked about. Got confused what forum I was on.

I have had a trial of one of the 12 that you sent over Phil. I'm off out to work now but, I'm sure there are a couple of threads on here somewhere with a review/pictures etc, I'll look later. I wasn't that keen on it and passed it on to another member, hopefully he has had a chance to use it and give you some feedback.

 

[pgc555]

Thanks for this feedback. I was confused as to which forum I was on. I was trying to find the Australian version. I found it. I realize that I have posted here and have many comments from you guys there in the UK. I understand that learning to use something "NEW" takes time to catch on. I just know that by using the BBB the excuse NOT to Back Butter because "it takes to long" is NOT a viable one anymore. Your biggest issue there was the BBB fitting onto your buckets. I've taken care of that so that too, won't be an excuse any longer. Thanks again for ANY feedback given here and I won't continue to load this forum up with more comments about the "BBB" - Phil

Where can i get a few of these BBB then ? i BB big 60x60 styrofoam tiles no real weight but awkward .......i would love to try-one out.......

 

[pgc555]

Can anyone that received one of the first 12 BBB's and is not using it help our friend Diamond here
with this?

I'm pretty sure only 2 of the 12 came to regular users of this forum Phil. Myself and Lee @ protilers, I have passed mine on to Ali Gage, not sure if he's used it yet.

 

[pgc555]

OK - I'll see if I can contact the "other" forum and try to find out if there are any BBB's sitting in the shed.

 

[Gazzer]

I am sure Ali would pass it on after he has tried it.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

So there is none in the UK to purchase then ? i suppose i could nock -up my own wooden one ,two wooden discs rout a round grove for some ball bearings in each side ,then sandwich together with a countersunk bolt ...... i would rather just have a lend ..

 

[pgc555]

Not at the moment. I'm working on it

[thompsonbrown]

Sorry mate, might help some people with weak arms but not for me. (too many tools already)

 

[pgc555]

The whole point is to KEEP your arms strong by reducing wear and tear on your body
i have been setting tile for over 42 years and COULD still spin tiles in my hand, but WHY should I?

 

[Andy Tiler]

In all fairness it's just as easy to put the tile on a bucket that doesn't spin it takes less room aswell? I got one of these delivered but it wasn't adapted for the uk bucket sizes!!but IMHO it is a
Product that isn't needed! Just giving my honest feedback.....

Actually Andy there are lots of product's in all walks of life that we don't really need, my wife's kitchen is testament to this ! with lots of redundant power-kit bread-makers ,ice-cream -makers, the list go's on....we all look at tools and talk ourselves in to thinking that we need them !! LOL.......

I to have been tiling for over 42 years,I lost the use of my left arm due to a road accident some 30 years ago I find it just as easy to lean the tile against my leg and butter the tile very easy in my opinion I would find it harder using this tool.

 

[pgc555]

Sorry to hear about your accident. You have challenges everyday that many of the rest of us don't. It must be hard to even move materials and tools for you. I can understand that you have adjusted and made things work for you. I applaud your still being part of the tile trade

 

[afright]

It gets harder as I am getting older but a lot of my friends say I look like popeye my right arm is twice the size of my left,lol.
