Sometimes the spring mechanism on the max handle clogs with dust, so with each cut you have to manually flick the breaker down with your finger, a slight pain in the ***, but no big deal which you get used to after a few cuts

Klick klock is different than the traditional pull and score in that you 'push' to score, much easier on the wrist on a tile thats hard to score, also the breaking action allows you to successfully break tougher tiles with more control. The max series is the same 'push' to score, but the cutting well is 19mm and on a pond bearing which allows for much easier scoring of rough textured tiles, the breaking foot is also 100mm wide so increases the pressure for the breaking of very hard tiles. Its much slower than pull and score, but can easily and consistently break tiles that the pull handle simply couldn't look at. the klick klock sort of falls in-between these two systems. hope that all make some sort of sense lol

Ok, get a 3C3M max with a 10mm bar and then order a 24AE handle and a 24AK handle and you'll then have 1 machine that has interchangeable handles for all scenarios lol. I don't want to start the inevitable, but you won't look back, especially to any OTHER brands of cutters ;)

I think the max handle is a lot quicker than any of the pull cutters.
I never ever got on with a pull cut machine & when I tried a max series I thought now that's the cutter for me.
I've never had the foot clog up on me but I keep my cutters clean & use wd40 silicone spray on them & they work as good as new.
I would say if you are used to using a Rubi then I would stick to a max series cutter.
A play about with them for a few days & you will ever look back.
