The little things......

[mistral]

What's your favourite thing that just makes things a little easier?
For years I would have said my washboy...... but now I just love those wedge shaped spacers.
Really I started this thread hoping to discover something handy that I'd never thought about before!

 

[Gazzer]

A set of 365 drills for me, i cant imagine working without them now.

 

[doug boardley]

I think my Flex is the most important bit of equipment I have, without it I would be lost. Life is made so easy these days with modern little toys

 

[brian c]

rubi sponges..love them.

 

[White Room]

[hillhead]

And whats little about a washboy lads? Lol

 

[brian c]

Fein Multimaster is a good tool but bits are rather pricey imo.

my burta grout cleaning machine, it saves my knees,and it's therapeutic just going up and down ,getting cleaner and cleaner

 

[faithhealer]

not the most important tool but I am so glad I brought a pack of 100 'stanley knife blades', (fiver from trade Tiler) kept me going for a couple of years now and still good for a couple more

sexy little wedges and flexi gorilla tubs....cheap enough to replace if you're in too much of a hurry to clean 'em:lol:

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

yes i forgot grilla tubs only £4 in wicks

 

[doug boardley]

another handy gadget, that I've never heard mentioned on TF is a "small tool" (calm down Wivs) often called a craft tool, great for flicking out those spacers that snap off when you're trying to take them out, scraping addy that's oozed through joints, getting grout into those really awkward paces

 

[sherbert]

I got a dewalt vacume this year DC500 it good for getting the dust up before tiling and at the end of the day.It runs well on my drill batts the lead could do with being a bit longer but i would not be without it now

 

[stevee]

300mm steel rule ,also use it to clean addy away from edges/excess inbetween tiles

my 24ltr washboy ,with tradetiler semented floaty spongy

 

[marbleman]

my variable grinder, and my flex polisher

 

[The D]

A diamond file is a gem on porcelain tiles. Forgive the pun

 

[groucho]

my micro fibre glove mitts for washing down and polishing.

 

[CCTiling]

Fein Multimaster. I can't be without it on flooring jobs for cutting the architraves and door stops
