Latest tiling tool you bought and why?

[Dan]

Just wondering what the latest tiling tool you've bought is, and why you bought it?
Also perhaps where you bought it from and why them?

This thread could be cool if it got huge.

No mostly new stuff to cope with changes in the trade.

The screw fix one looks more robust ,the aldi one looks like a kids toy neale
And I know erbauer gear is pretty decent,I've had a sds drill for a couple of years now and it's been really good
