I use the Makita saw for grout removal and repairs it is been great for the small repairs as long as you understand what the tool can do, it wasn't meant to replace a wet saw

I'm a tile installer for 35 years and just want to say that the lippage system is good if you know what you are doing. Also the the makita is good for small jobs. In fact all of the things you showed are good if used correctly at the right job. You have to use your HEAD :P

[frankieg]

I don't mind to use that Makita for small around the corners cuts? Instead of getting up, going to that table top saw, come back, get on your knees again etc?

Good video, but one objection. The plastic doohicky for getting a templet can be useful when doing commercial jobs where the door jambs are sometimes metal and can't be undercut. So this tool could be advantageous in getting a good clean cut in those circumstances. Also I have done commercial work where the urinals were already installed and I had to use a templet to make cuts. It could be useful there. Finally, I was thinking recently of a tile job I did about 3 or 4 years ago. The cabinets were not typical. They had legs with funny angles and this little tool would have saved me a lot of time.

Not a tool you will need often, but when you do, it can be helpful. So keep it on the roster (in the tool box)!

Welll..you have to know when to use the T-levelling system. Never on floors. If walls are flat, the many varities of lash/screw systems you show are overkill when all you need is a cross-spacer. If you should get a small lip, or see a tile 'sucked in' a little too far, those T-bar spacers are perfect for levelling it out. Not useless at all ^^

You are the number one among those five mate.

Them T levelling things have changed my life. There are soooo much quicker than the other Systems.
They have made me a lot of money....without having to buy more clips as you just reuse them.
The trick is to take them out in time. But that’s the same for all levelling systems.
I tile like 2 bathrooms a week. Been tiling for 15years.
But for big floors with big tiles 800mm plus. I would use the other Systems.

The video was nicely done. Described the shortcomings of the products but more importantly suggested how else to replace/use other products that work better.

[Jesusisthewayandtruth]

Interesting all I use now is the metal leveling clip system. I like them and I use them periodically as needed.

[johnbell]

I use the 1st leveling system pieces Only when I over tighten and break a riamondi clip.instead of having to lift the tile and add another clip.good call.but helpful often.definitely not the dumbest.

[foggymtnbreakdown]

A contour gauge can be useful for cutting curves in the tiles on the outside edge of a standard tub. If the backer board is not up, you can just trace the curve of the tub on a piece of paper or cardboard, but the lip of the tub might interfere with that. The contour gauge will always work.

Agree to disagree. Those tile locks are the best system hands down. Once you learn how to properly use them. And when to use them. 1. They are 100% reusable. Which is why they are better then all the rest. I am just so over buying more and more pieces to go with the damn wedges. Screw that. The pieces you have to constantly buy isn't getting cheaper. 2. Nobody wants large grout lines anymore. So the size of the under part is large enough. I have never not had one slip or not touch both tiles. 3. I have never had any tiles out of level. 4. Use them for walls. Not floors. If you use them for floors give it a spin just before you tighten and remove the following day with ease. You leave them over the weekend and you will wish you hadn't. But again. These are 100% reusable.

That leveling system is badass for walls. Use it on every shower for minor adjustments, it's amazing. Game changer. I hate using level clips, but I definitely use those. Never ever use them on floors though, not a good idea.

[tackerrico]

Absolutely enjoy 1200mm/1200mm hard porcelain tile and table saw, specially if you working alone.

[GasMeter_]

Those rescue clips are very handy when you need an extra one in the joint or when you can't slide a tile under a door architrave with a normal clip in place. As long as you remove them before the thinset goes off.

Yo friend you need to try that Makita tile cutter with a bigger battery and a mesh Blade

[gorangagic]

That leveling system came in super handy when i was installing tile against hardwood. Hardwood had slits underneath so i was able to wedge those levelers and ended up with perfectly smooth tile-hardwood transition

[tomislav]

#1 this things are awesome for a recovery. Always have couple of them to pull up a tile just a bit. But yeah, as a full leveling system, they suck. As for Makita thing, would it be fine if a big battery is installed?

[reddbeard]

Go Berg!
I have 3 out of the 5 and they have thier uses although be it a small opportunity they come in handy, lol.
