Gary Nash from Rubi UK is here - Ask him questions?

[Dan]

I have Gary Nash here having a brew with me.

Do you have any questions you'd like to ask him regarding Rubi tools?

 

[grumpygrouter]

Yes, Why doesn't my 250n rail cutter cut straight and never has?

 

[Dan]

He's just gone. haha

Though he's subscribed to the thread so should get an email about it. It'll take a couple of hours to get back though I think so I'm sure he'll pop on later.

 

[grumpygrouter]

lol, cheers Dan.

And why did my nippers not last a day?

 

[Alan.P]

The big question, why can't they build the case hinges differently so that they last as long as the cutter and not have too be patched / bungie corded etc

 

[Ian]

And why did my nippers not last a day?

I had another pair of nippers die today!, not a fan of hard porc it seems.

I'll second that...... And £60 for a replacement is ridiculous.....!

I am the same. Case hinges broken and nippers "carbide blade" chipped:incazzato:.just after few tiles.Why?

 

[Perry]

And why did my nippers not last a day?

It's the wrong carbide they are using it's to brittle on the porcelain I know from my engineering days some were tougher and some were harder I think they could solve it if they spoke to a specialist or had some for ceramics a different colour for porcelain

Standard nippers are not designed for porcelains etc..

You should be using these.. Rubi Porcelain Tile Nippers. Contractors Direct.

Hi everyone sorry it has taken so long to get back on. Right lets start at the beginning, Nippers, most of you are using ceramic nippers on porcelain that's why they don't last you need porcelain nippers that are more expensive and some would say much harder to use but standard nippers will not last on porcelain. 83942 is the Rubi book number for porcelain nippers (any good stockist). Carry cases hmm ahh yess hmm, In my 28 years of tiling I have fallen fowl of the dredded plastic case so I am in the mist of sending a product update to Spain that will put a steel pin right across the back of the case. This will cure the problem if they go for it I am just abit worried what it will do to the cost and if they go for it don't hold your breath waiting as Spain don't move fast.
