It is New Tool Tuesday! - New Tools Other Tilers Have Bought Recently

[GoneGuy]

i popped into topps tiles to pick up a Rubi 40ltr tub bucket and free trowel for £12.
I bought the bucket to make life easier cleaning as was told it’s pretty tough.

I'll be popping into Topps in the next day or so, might just have to pick one up 🙂

Is there a choice of trowel size, or is the 8mm the only option?

Bought the Bosch cordless angle grinder yesterday bare as got the drill driver with 2 5amp l-ion batteries and slipped on the Turbo X porcelain cutting blade from @ATSDiamondTools , not going to push it hard only for smallish jobs that I’m too lazy to fetch the corded power Bosch’s! And yes I bought it on Tuesday 🙄

I rarely use my mains grinder nowadays

Don’t you find it lacks the power sometimes for the harder porc

Only if I'm cutting down one side of a 1200 repeatedly . You need to be a bit gentle on some cuts or else the tile brakes

My power line Bosch’s are a lot thinner, lighter and comfortable in hand than bulkier cordless so can’t see it replacing them.

Thought I'd give these a try.

Good blade, does the job very well but likes of @ATSDiamondTools can supply one that will match anything it does for less money.

Have used ATS a fair amount........but everyone is raving about these blades......so why not 😉

Topps Tiles are still doing the offer on the buckets and trowel,
I haven’t used the trowel yet but bucket is still in one piece
