Discuss Bathroom to tile - Whats best tools in the Bathroom Tiling Advice area at TilersForums.com.
I would suggest that you search the forums. There are ALOT of threads where people discuss tools.
Are you going to tile for yourself, or have you been hired to do it for someone else, in other words, professionally?
I'd say that the bare minimum you need if you intend to tile for a living, is the following:
If your hands are untrained, and your eye-measurement is a bit off, you might want a big pack of 3-5mm spacers as well.
- Manual tile cutter (one which can do 90 degree cuts on 60cm long tiles will cover 90% of your cutting needs)
- Angle grinder (or a wet saw) + general purpose or ceramics diamond blade
- Electrical mixer
- Screwdriver + screw bits
- Hammer
- Tile nippers
- A couple of buckets
- Bucket trowel
- Notched trowels (4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, large format notched trowel)
- Grout float
- Sponge Float
- Washboy
- Spirit level
- Marking pencil
- Measuring tape
- Silicone gun
- General purpose knife
- Stanley Knife
And I'm sure someone will pop in and say "Don't forget your drill bits!!!" or some such :lol:
As for brands... It's hard to go wrong with *********, Sigma, Montolit,, Siri and Rubi for the tiling specific tools.
