Rubi for me, but then that's all i have ever used. Could switch the next time i'm purchasing but on a couple of trials with Sigma i just couldn't get the hang of it and found it hard to see my pencil mark on the tile.

After using rubi cutters for 15 years I tried a sigma couldn't get the hang of it , got a bit of advice off the sigma users I worked with and have never looked back , am getting fed up of lads who still use rubi asking me to get small cuts off a tile I wouldn't use a rubi cutter now even if you gave me it for free.

looks like Rubi have it.. as usual.. the original and the best overall ;-)
I agree with the poll ,just shows how many people who need to be converted :)all the old school tilers I have ever worked with have swore by rubi cutters and they did used to be the best cutters out there,but by being the best brand they rested on there laurels and have been overtaken most rubis I used in the past were solid cutters now they seem to fall apart (nuts come loose etc) they aren't the same cutters as they once were plus with sigma it's one fluid motion scribe snap,with the rubi its scribe then reach for the breaker then snap and if its a small rip off a tile then you have to get your pinchers out,all time consuming to me.

hmmmm. not on my Rubi's.... maybe you're using the incorrect size wheel for the porc's / tiles ?? or incorrect cutter TX / TS etc..
