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

[Flintstone]

I've got 3 of them already Marc, smaller size, one with drill twin set in, one for laser and one for multi tool, this ones deeper than the breifcase size and comes with a tray in top for pens and bits etc. Was £30 from b and q. Great boxes. Thinking of getting more for other tools. DeWalt do a couple different bases with wheels for them but only good If working on ground floor ?

Received these although only 100mm, I need a smaller backer can anyone advise if a soft one or hard one is best with these pads

Thought I'd try some with straps above the knee to see if they're better on my twig like legs.

Ultimately it depends on what you're doing with them. In general:-

Hard rubber or aluminium backer for flat surfaces or convex surfaces/edges.

The only reason to have a flexible or semi flexible backer is if you need the pads to form to a concave shape or curve.

Sponge (soft) type backers are more appropriate for paper discs, it gives them a little suspension and reduces the chance of tearing.
