So a biggish order yesterday with Protiler that arrived today...the bosch variable speed grinder, various diamond polishing disks along with a soft pad attachment for grinder, and 2mm premtool levelling system to try out With a few goodies thrown too

Just ordered that bosch grinder from them today
Already have premtool which is great btw!
Let me know how the polishing disks are(my next purchase)

P.s use the clamper/pliers

I sell a snowman to assemble.

I do indeed.

I note you use tile spacers as well as the clips. Does this mean for example you can you a 2mm clip and a 3mm spacer ?

Which ones ? The floor or wall or both? Do you use spacers also

Yes. I use the 1mm clips.

I have a theory that they snap better which I have no proof of whatsoever.

 

[acaciaguy]

I played with one today. They do seem hard to snap

 

[Dumbo]

If you use a 1mm clip and a 2or3 mm spacer the theory is you have less chance of the tile chipping when you remove the clips because their is clearance between clip and tile.

 

[acaciaguy]

Great idea

 

[Waluigi]

That was my theory but untested as I’ve only ever used the smaller clips (1mm or 1.5mm) and added a spacer. Also makes it less of a problem if you have a small amount of adhesive round the clip IMO

 

[acaciaguy]

Thank you sir

I agree, always find it better when I use separate spacers with the leveling clips!

 

[Italy]

yes, it's tuesday....
new brand, new test.
price just below raimondi.
this brand started distribution before raimondi.
but I've never tried it.
now I'm at 7 ° / 8 ° brand that I take, but I always go back to the usual brand.

good, 1mm is better than raimondi 3d. nobody broke for now

Just got this . I have to tile a floor with electric ufh that levelled over yesterday and there is no room in the hallway so thought this would be good to give an extra level of protection to the ufh whilst cutting in there

Just ordered one of these. Cordless to replace my 110v version. I found it online in one store at about half the price of anywhere else. Now to see if the order gets cancelled
