Which manual tile cutter?

Greg_0ry1 · 4 Nov 2022

I am planing to tile two bathrooms and possibly a bit later our kitchen. I am wondering what tile cutter is recommended? I am looking at the moment at a Rubi TS-57 Max for £223 and wonder if this is an overkill for three jobs? I like good tools so don’t mind to spend money for the right tool but it would be good to get some opinions before purchasing ä.
Thanks

At 75 quid a job, how much are you saving on not hiring a tiler?

(I mean, I'd say a DeWalt D24000 but we aren't supposed to be playing the overkill game)

Exactly my thinking

Can anyone tell me the difference between the TS-57 Max orange and grey base? It seems the grey is in general £30 or so cheaper.

Most that sites I looked at say eg "available in 2 colours" or "also available in orange", which doesn't imply any functional difference to me..

Definitely odd though: look at the pricing on https://www.protilertools.co.uk/cat...rs/rubi-manual-tile-cutters/rubi-ts-max-range - 75 is same price, 66 is cheaper in orange, 57 cheaper in grey
