FERN Vs PLASPLUG CUTTERS

I've used the plasplug for tiling in my kitchen and bathroom and have been very pleased. I assume you're takling about the big cutter with the scribing arm like this:

Don't know about the Fern, but the above one from Screwfix looks good value. Also, a plasplug tile cutting jigsaw blade in a decent jigsaw is a godsend for odd shapes.

HTH, Al

Seen the plasplugs electric tile cutter in Wilkinsons for £29.99 which seemed good value.

Got one of the Screwfix ones (red/black with silver top).

Can't fault it for the price. :-)

Assuming it's the Plasplugs "compact" one, I bought this last week from B+Q Oxford for £23.99, and it's proving excellent for the bathroom tiles. I really like the mitred corners!

I've been using one of these for years. 3 bathrooms and 1 kitchen later the blade still cuts well.

Yes. For up to standard size wall tiles etc it's near ideal, and easily stored. A larger one is better, strangely, for large tiles, but might not fit on that shelf when not in use.

I had a 99 quid Plasplugs about 5 years ago - it lasted about 10 bathrooms/kitchens. - Would have done more if my assistant had not loaded things on top of it 8-(. =

Also got very noisy. =

The Fern was a disaster - mainly the water tray was totally insufficient and when filled would send water everywhere. Ended up in the bin after

The new 40 quid smaller Plasplugs is nearly as good as the old model - a little less water means you have to top up a lot. =
