TILING - What’s in my toolbox? My MUST have tools to as a PROFESSIONAL tiler!

Have you used those bucket savers? It’s a silicone lining for the buckets so when you mix up you can leave the last bit to go dry and it slips out so easy and saves you having to clean up the bucket at the end of the day. Just search bucket liners or bucket savers 👍

Yes I have actually they are cool, I left adhesive in mine for too long and couldn’t get it back out though :(

43 years tiling here. Thanks for the tip on replacing the orange clips with the blue ones. My top tip is to get an X-Lock grinder and an X-Lock 14mm drill bit adapter for drilling holes in porcelain. With that, it's so easy to switch from grinding to drilling just by pulling the X-Lock release lever and snapping on the drill bit adapter. You'll need a couple of 6 inch adjustable spanners to change out the drill bits from the adapter because X-Lock grinders don't have spindle locks, but you won't need to carry a drill. Using a grinder to drill is much easier, they have more power than the average drill, and you can drill without the need of a guide because the bit won't wander as you start drilling. I use the same setup to drill soft ceramic as well. Let me know if my description makes sense, and if it doesn't, I'll make a video.

Nice one, some decent info 🤙🏼

Thank you bro ! 🫶🏻

Do you use a wet cutter mate. Ive got a DeWalt thats that much of a chore ato aet up it barely ever gets used. We tend to hand grind 90% of our work. What grinding disks are you using. Your right about the levelers though ( game changer) the fact you can use the 1 handed. On a large format floor. wow

[@jackthetileruk]

Hey David !! I acrually have a iQ 228 cyclone dry cutter which I use for my table cutter. Apart from that I just use a grinder, I don’t use any specific blade depends where I’m going to get them. Thanks for the comment mate!

[@premabhakti432]

Good for you mate for sharing your valuable experience... interested in the leveling system...you mention T-clip...any product name?

[@TheBizLens]

Very well put together vid fella, just a question i have , i have very rarely seen anyone in UK at least where i live to do corners at 45degree cuts (i mean cutting tiles at 45 in the corners and rather always use dirty aluminium corner piece or some sort of finish trim , in eastern Europe it would be absolutely not acceptable to do it just wondering

[@jackthetileruk]

Hey buddy !! Thanks for the comment I appreciate it! I’m actually just preparing my next video to be uploaded which is the start of a bathroom renovation series so stay tuned for that :) - as for the mitring tiles that your asking about that is starting to become big over here too 👍🏻. Hopefully see you in future comments. Thank you - Jack the tiler 🫶🏻

Hi mate, just found your chanel, sorry dont know your name?, great video, i would have liked you to expand a bit on your other tiling tools which you have found best for your career so far, as in what is the best diamond blade for cutting porcelain tiles for your dewalt or makita?, I.E,budget and high end? Tile nippers, and must have tools. Im a handyman so its nice to learn off the pros, i hav'nt gone through your vids yet but it would be nice to see you doing some tiling, walls floors, awkward cuts, around windows, tile trims, around pipes etc. Got to take a look at those buihi clips, keep the vids coming, glad i found your chanel, kevin

[@jackthetileruk]

Hey Kevin! Thank you for this lovely comment. Leave it with me. My plan is to put a lot more effort in with KZbin now. I will make this one of my first videos. Thank you so much, Jack

Laser level?

[@benjamindelfs2718]

When I started In 2009 clips weren’t even out and we had to do large format 6x6 and 6x3 rectified edge by feel. Now days you have apprentices who don’t have the ability to do a single bathroom without a laser level and clips and 1000 different tools.

[@seanmcglaughlan6434]

Hi mate how did you get into tiling did you do an apprenticeship or fast track course? cheers

[@jackthetileruk]

Hey mate! I done an apprenticeship with a new build tiling contractors 7-8 years ago 😊👍🏻.

[@benjamindelfs2718]

That’s how I done my 4 year apprenticeship too. We also screed the wet areas and most tiling goes to ceiling height and they’re all wet areas with no shower trays here.
