The way I read that post your calling us con men, well personally I think its you conning your customers telling them they've bought bent tiles and you'll do your best with them but they won't be perfect but its there fault for buying the tiles when there's a product out there for a few pennies that will sort it :)
Over the 40 years don't try and tell me youve never folded a bit of card up or jammed a spacer under the corner of a tile just to get that last mill adjustment, well there's now a magical product that can do this for you, oh and if you say no then sorry but I don't believe you

There’s no real fixed number to a floor Andy, esp planks, it can vary depending on quality. What I tend to do is buy 2000 and divide cost over next few jobs by adding what I think I can get away with to cover cost of whole purchase. Probably a simpler way I’d say. Adding per m2 can look expensive to clients if you’re giving meterage rates, where loosing £50 is much simpler.
How much does 2.000 cost...... And roughly how many square meters would it do......... Average size tile..... Not them bloody massive things you fit... :)
 
The ones I get off ebay are £80 for 2000, just done a 36m floor in 600's and used about 4/500 so about £20's worth, they will go on the bill with other mats
Andy do you give the price to the customer including clips before you start the job?sorry meaning are they included in your price

Not given a fixed price for years, everything's an estimate with me, dayrate plus mats, just tot up everything at the end, customers usually ask what they do and after explaining the benefits they just pay, not had a quibble about £20 or whatever for them on an invoice up to now..

I've been using them for ages. I add the cost of them to the job but have never discussed it with a customer.... It's not an option as far as I'm concerned. Virtually every customer I've had has been really impressed by the clips.

I am also absolutely sure that they do speed up workflow and I'd recommend them to anyone
