Re: Tools Reviews WANTED!

I should swerve that, i'm not that clever around sarasm. I'm 43 years mate, i do spray the blade and clean (using WD40) the machine every other day.

The rubber matting came off too!

Isn't this about reviewing? I didn't realise it was about 'bigging yourself up against other people and their tools'.

Jel no-one is "bigging" themselves up regarding tools. There was no sarcasm anywhere, I looked at your pictures and my first impression was that it was not looked after very well. You say it is and thats fair enough.
I do not have rubi cutters so I can only compare them to what I do have.

Jel........your Rubi is obviously an older model, going by the grey paintwork. Newer ones (as you know) are the rubi red............somaybe there was a problem with poorer quality metals used??????

Had mine about a year, and so far the only problem is the rubber mats going loose. That and the shear weight of the bloody thing. (I'm only ickle)
Mine doesn't get used on a daily basis........but when it does, I love it.

Only moan, as mentioned is the weight.............I do wish I went for the Dewalt though

It is heavy, but doesn't it have wheels on the oppo' end of handle. Sounds to as though i paid over the odds for an older model too!! I may have to bite the bullet and take it back to the shop where i got it (have a right old row with the owner) then try and persuade him to send it back to Rubi under the 2 anos guarantee!

Contact the Rubi rep through the forums, i think his name is Mark ???
I contacted Rubi UK direct and they told me to take it back to the shop where it was purchased and they would sort it out.
Oh and mine was grey too but no flakey paint...stickers fell off though.

Mine has got wheels........but crappy nylon jobs. I keep meaning to change them for rubber wheels.

Still fill my undies lifting it into the van

Just bumping some of the tiling tool review threads in the main tiling tools forum. Ignore this if it's an old one and not important to you. It'll soon drop off the list.
