Tile trackers??

[Nico9387]

Does anyone use this piece of kit? if so is it a hand piece of kit or is it more of a novelty than anything??

Think its too much of an expense to b honest. Would you not agree? Are the rubi batton holders any use? just cause the last job I done was an old tenement flat couldnt get a gd fixing onto the wall for the weight of the tiles so had to keep wedging tiles to keep the cross hair rather than tight at the top open at the bottom

Far too expensive IMO

could imagine myself hacksawing them cause they could only be used on large wall rather than small narrow toilets or box work round stack pipes ect................................too good to be true!

These big companies don't seem to have twigged why we still use. It's of wood and good old tile spacers. It's like a pair of footprints used in plumbing for over 100 years and does the job perfectly yet companies still waste money trying to improve the design and fail.

How much is the Tiletracker and how much does a professional tiler spend on timber battens, on average, a year?

Rubi baton stands a six foot and a four foot level for me.

Cut the bottom row in first, don't need anything then!

Too expensive, too specialised, not versatile as you would end up hacksawing it. Just another thing to clutter up the van!
