Anyone else having rubi nipper issues? - Tile Advice

[PaulDtiler]

Hi All
Has anyone had issues with Rubi nippers recently, just gone through 2 pairs in 2 weeks. I’ve been tiling over 40years now so I know how to use new nippers.The rubi rep called in to CTD, didn’t bother taking faulty ones!! Trying the genesis for now see how they perform 👍🏻

Think the metal used is not of the quality it used to be. Had the same issue . My old ones (which I use regularly) are probably older than some tilers on here, but seem unbreakable...

Cheers lockrock 👍🏻
Began to think nobody used them anymore 🤣👍🏻

Yes had noticed last few years, what pinchers you using at the minute for porc/ gris. Brought a couple of pairs of genesis not great!!

Don't mind me while I bump up some older but good threads. If you can contribute to the thread, go ahead. But if it's nothing for you then don't reply and it'll soon drop off the What's New page etc.
