Testing this out later. Only on plaster I’m afraid but some tile adhesive will be mixed soon enough.

I just use my heavy duty Makita cordless for mixing. Fits in my tool bag and also used as a driver. Had it 2 years and no burn out or changing brushes yet.

Talking about Ali express I bought 2x 115mm blades and when they arrived they were the wrong diameter for the spool. Only £7 each so threw them in the bin. Also bought a couple of 20mm hole bits and they lasted all of about a week each on ceramics, Rubbish.
My one from ATS at 3 times the price has lasted more than 6 months

My vacuum brazed from AliExpress have been fine. I would only ever use them on porcelain.

AliExpress is just the avenue for sellers to sell. If you get a poor item then it’s the wrong seller.

I’ve had crap items from Amazon, I still buy stuff from Amazon though.

I wish we could set up a tool link page from where we buy our stuff from so that we don't have to trawl Google looking for them......just sayin'

What are you after Tom?

Maybe post in the other place?

Nothing but I think it would be polite to show a link (if possible) to where folk purchase their new tools from, especially if the items are considered a bargain.

After all, we are here to help.

Gotcha. Is that not allowed on here then?

Yes but hardly anyone posts links to the items. Even AliExpress has links you know.....

 

[Waluigi]

To be honest, I don’t know how it works on here. I didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes knowing there are sponsors etc.

AliExpress links can be got but I tend to use the App which means I can’t copy links from it....at least I couldn’t when I last tried

Most people ignore my AliExpress posts. It’s only when @antonio posts that people take notice I suppose he is a real Tiler. I’m just a wooden boy

You can link to any tool shop you like. Diatools is the popular Ali express supplier
