tile nippers

[Bolter]

whats a hole boy.



im on a tiling tool mission buy am being realistic as well. i asked about a few things that i wont buy as a result (rotozip, that disk i saw etc.
i think iv got the basics now. i might get a set of 365 drills soon as i think il need them on my bathroom at home. if those trim snips dont work out i think il need a better miterblock.

A "loch boy"?

edit: it says "once made the initial hole, use parrot nippers to open it up", but I always spin the hammer around and use the square end to open the hole up whilst still in the lochboy.

it was a video of a fellow knocking a hole out of a ceramic with a pin hammer and ball hammer..... i was amazed was sheer quality and it must have taken alot of practice. i tried to copy it on son johnstons 15x15 and failed misrebly about 10 times and decided that i could not do it!!! :lol:
