Me, my back and I!

Tape measure! Bit inaccurate, isn’t it ?😛

Yeah but it does job, but the belt clip is excellent after it’s been used a couple of weeks.

Do you work off a table Andy?
You could put the tiles on a hop up too, just get everything off the floor mate.
It’ll be worth the effort.
I know sometimes there’s very little space, but you have to make it work for you.
Inconvenient loss of floor space is far less an evil than the loss of ability to bend over or walk. 🙂

If I’m wall tiling I have the cutter on the floor and stay on my knees as much as possible, if I’m wall tiling etc then I put the cutter on a Kettering table. I do have a hop up which I normally get out when I’m Tiling above waist height to put my adhesive on mainly. I think my worst enemy is bending for spacers and my pen and tape, which sounds daft because that’s probably the most easy to solve. Even grinding at the Ketter table I’m bent over a lot, that’s what finished me off on Tuesday.

Then at least get trousers with that pouch in front or a Joiner’s pouch. Put everything in there, plenty of room, even if you wear it behind you.
And you need to get a higher table for sure.
Or mod the one you have by making a frame to go over the top and then spacers to lift a new wooden top closer to your waist level.

I have pouch trousers but i use the pouches for money and phone, that’s first thing I’m gonna change. I know what your saying about the table, there only 750 high the Ketter table and it’s not a good height. I’ll have to sus out the best way of raising that. It’s a shame the legs are not telescopic. I can’t be the only long man on here with these problems

@Localtiler - You’ve been doing a splashback recently!
That used to always do my back, but since I’ve left them to newbies never had a problem ( touch wood).
It stretching across the 600mm worktops.

Still got to get his head under the wall units. I’am 12 inches short of 6’8” and I find it painful afterwards .
