Just getting started... - Tile Advice

[matrix]

Hello to everyone.

Terrific forum from what I've seen so far - picking up plenty good tips - just need to put them into action now.

I recently finished an excellent course at NETT with Darren and am currently in the process of getting my tools together and buying a van up here in Edinburgh.

I was looking at buying an SDS drill with a crossover to M14 paddle attachment instead of a dedicated mixer. My thinking is that I could also buy a tile chisel and use it for removing old tiles.

Any thoughts much appreciated.

Cheers.

hello and welcome to the forums.............your idea's for the mixer will be fine..it would be a multi-purpose tool then..........Try buybrand tools our forums tools sponsor ...they sell some nice drill/mixers on there and the paddles to suit as well...........in-fact there is quite a few tiling tools on there including full tiling kits.........

........ BUYBRAND TOOLS.......

Welcome. Your idea sounds reasonable. Tools can be expensive at the start so hopefully you will get the right ones...
