To quote Duncan Bannatyne on Dragons Den - 'Concentrate on doing your day job, don't waste anymore money investing in this product and leave tilers to do their jobs. I'm out!!!'

Grout profiler can be handy on broken bond metros before washing but that's about it. plenty of crazy inventions that are shown here from time to time. Those yellow Tilesure spacers spring to mind.

Those profiling tools. The ones with loads of teeth that form complicated shapes.
& those suction hole drilling guides (usually red & black).
& suction cups for lifting tiles (but not if the tiles are too heavy or have veins like natural stone).
& hand held grout remover tools that the blades last about 5 minutes.
& small notched trowels (that are about 1inch in diameter).

That's it for now!

Your right. I had to use 17 in bathroom a few months ago and could believe how badly they fitted. Not one fitted without having to trim the plug in pieces or the tile trims with a craft knife or having to place red wedges all over the place. What should have been completed in seconds turned into a right nightmare.
