Right! lets see what all the fuss is about...

So whats the big deal??

Ohhh great! gonna have to send this one straight back. Some idiot has put the handle on the wrong way!

As a side note, has anybody bought all three types of handle and interchanged them? Don't think I could get use to the pull one but could see the klick klock one being useful from time to time

It does take a while to get use to the pull handle but once you learn to grab it by the knuckle to scribe you'll be good

I had the max handle on mine, couldn't get on with it, persevered for a year but still couldn't, it was lining up cuts that was the problem for me. Then Dave suggested a Klick Klock, what a difference, I can line anything up no worries plus all the benefits of the best cutter. Happy days

As gamma, tried the pull handle and could'nt get on with it so went for the KK....

 

[Stef]

I'm all for the max, I can line 2 marks up no problem now.
Sigma?? Best cutters you will buy..

 

[Peter]

Pull handle is the best. Even put a pull handle on my 128cm :lol:

 

[CJ]

It's not right.

I'm a pusher not a puller. :yikes:

 

[STEVO]

any chance of some pics of yours so we can see the difference?

The one I got was the MAX - push to score. It's bad enough having to get use to the cutter being the wrong way round without having to throw the whole pull thing in to the mix.

But wouldn't mind maybe trying the klick klock (which is also push to score right?) only to see how the flip over breaker feels different. The main reason for not going with the KK is because I thought that hinge on the handle might lose some of the sensitivity you get when applying pressure to the tile as you score... but never used one so might be way off on that.

So it seems a few guys have changed handles. How much guys? This one id the 'D' series, the 900mm one which I believe has the fatter bar. So handle to suit

Changed my max handle for the KK on my 900, got a replacement from tool venture and it cost £65 including postage...ouch, other suppliers maybe cheaper.

I will take some pics tomorrow.

I'll get all the different handles in stock as they are interchangeable . The thing to watch out for is the rail width, the longer the cutter the thicker the rail. Will get them listed with all the applicable compatibility ASAP

 

[Peter]

8, 10 and 15mm handles, that I know of, but something tells me the 900 might have a 12mm. Couldn't be sure, just used another tilers 900 and seemed thicker than the 10mm on my 4a.

 

[David - Tradetiler]

Wow the rail is an impressive 19mm wide on the Sigma 3FM MAX
