Can you snap a metre tile without a metre snapper?

[Element]

Doing a job this week where the customer has got 100cm x 30cm ceramic wall tiles. The biggest snapper I have is 900mm. Short of going out & buying a giant snapper, is there any way of snapping such tiles lengthwise without an actual snapper? can it be done? I am loathing the thought of wet saw cutting metre lengths of tile!

I just can't imagine there isn't a way of snapping them by scoring and then some means of maybe a hard nail under the base of the tile & 2 appropriate bits of wood and some effort applied?

Thanks for your advice!

dry cut them with a angle grinder with sutable diamond blade is one way another is use and old fashioned scriber, was able to do that the other week with some porcelanosa ceramic 1000 by 400

These are Porcelanosa too... Dry grind sounds worth a go, need a new disc... thanks.

Why not hire one from a shop?.

Its surprising how few actual full tiles will need cut lengthways
