Latest tiling tool you bought and why?

[J Sid]

How far can you see the line?

like all these lasers you always want them a bit brighter, but saying that never really had a problem.
Done alot of 150 to 250 Mt multi room set out with it. Probably paid for its self in one or two jobs.

I need to set all the rest of the floor tiling from the kitchen, 80m2, & I'm struggling to square off of a wall as its a converted Pig Barn.
They have a feature stone wall that's sitting about 200mm off square so I'm trying to square off steel extension that was put in.
Going to be fun.

Let me know how it goes?
Might ask Santa for one

Will let you know Andy.
1st impressions today are positive.

Depemds on how much light i in the room. I only use mine for setting out, I transfer lines into marks on the floor then use a chalk line to place marks on the floor.
I do use it to tile to on smaller floors though.

So it's just another tool to clog up the van Neil?
Might just carry on with a tape measure and chalk line and a 3,4,5 then? Might take it off the list now then

No not really but you can do with out it......although I wouldnt want to be without it now. Its an extra tool , not a replacement for something else IMO, Just like laser levels, great to use and have advantages but I managed so many years without....make sense ?....Ok I just like tools !:lol:

I got some laser glasses recently which make the line a lot more visible. You do end up looking like Tackle-berry from Police Academy though!

Havent noticed much difference with the glasses but when using the lasers its hard not to create a bit of dust and get the Mission Impossble effect :lol:

The laser square is great for doing ground floors etc. Had a few to do where a kitchen has an opening into two rooms and comes through perfectly. Only use it for setting out as it isn't too bright on a sunny day.

You sure it's the same as the Bosch.
I've got the older Dewalt & that's a self level laser for vertical & horizontal lines.
It's not a square..

The dewalt has 3 beams Stef, it's a pricey bit of kit though.

Had to watch it on you tube, couldn't work out from the photos how it flung a 90 degree line.
Nice bit of kit but as you say Bri, pricey..

Bump

Don't mind me while I bump a few old threads. They might not be current for you, if they're not, just ignore them, and they'll soon drop off the forum list.
