Tool kits, then & now.

Excellent mate....

Just pulling your leg mate, as you well know. 😀

blades for the grinder that cut faster so as not to spend so much time using it.

Tried a new Bosch blade from @Pro Tiler Tools this last couple of weeks.

And it's very rapid, cuts thin tile as fast as I can walk with it. Ok so it's not for finish cuts, well it doesn't seem to be at the moment.
Possibly still bedding in, although the concept of that I find irritating, but for hidden cuts around a floor and the like it's proving to be excellent.
If you don't hold your grinder true and straight tho, it will literally tear through.

I must admit tho, I'm always dubious about recommending blades, we all have different requirements and expectations, so it makes it a difficult task.

I don't use a laser either Andy. Take sigma cutters for example, I was due a new cutter as my rubi 600 was basically worn out, now I couldn't ever use a rubi again.

Laser level is probably one of best pieces of kit I have ever purchased . The amount of time it saves when setting out bathroom walls is loads . Also when pricing up floor work it is very easy to see how much the floor drops so you can calculate how much levelling comp you need . Also on some floors very easy to put in set screws prior to levelling to get a very flat floor . The more you have one the more uses you will find to improve your working practises.

Can see how may help on a floor.
But it's nothing my 3m straight edge can't do.
As for saving time...... I gave up rushing year ago... 🙂

Saving time means you don't have to rush .

What laser level do you use then for that?

Stanley cll don't know if they are still available now . Their was a time that when I was getting the laser out on a job that other trades and tilers I was working just went out and purchased one .
