Tools

[tileform]

Can anyone recommend the best (not necessarily cheapest) place to buy specific tiling tools?
Hoping to do a course at NETT very soon - should i just buy from them?

It all depends on how much you are willing to spend really.

Like you could get everything you need from B&Q, while it wouldn't be brilliant gear it would do the job.

On the other had there are quite a few tiling shops that sell good cutters, wet and dry, but they often only stock eith one or 2 makes of them, so best bet is to have a rad through the tools section of the forum, see what people think to certain cutters, do your course, then decide if they actually sell there what you have in mind.

Theres a sponser on here, Buy Brand tools, while I have never used them I have heard that they are good, and get your orders out to you quickly, but they only sell Rubi cutters as far as I know, but they do stock near enough everything you would need.

There link banners on this page at the top, click it and have a look.

I think i'll just do the course then look at the tools again
I'd prefer to get quality tools as i've long believed you only get what you pay for:yes:

When you first pass your driving test you wouldn't buy an Aston Martin.....start off with humlbe but sturdy tools, and let your buisness dictate what you buy from then on.....Gaz

Hi Bundy7au, welcome to the forums. Could you possibly stick a short post into the New Members forum to introduce yourself to everyone. Just to let us know a bit about you and stuff.

Cheers

NETT do stock tools and it's likely you'll be using them on the course so I'd see if you get used to those. Checkout their websites to see what they have.
