The tools you need for big tile to make the installation go much more smoothly and to avoid struggling when moving and setting these very large tiles. In this video I talk about some of the tools I use to manage and facilitate the installation of very large tile. These tiles can be very difficult to set if you are not able to put a "Handle" on them to help maneuver them into position without getting thinset all over you as you try to get them in place. I specifically talk about suction cup tools that can be use and the importance of the reliability of the grab that the tools has on the tile, being able to depend on the suction and that it will not let go or fail while trying to move the tile. I specifically highlight the "Grabo" tool, which reliably attaches to the tile without fear of letting go.

😊👍
Great video Sal!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Definitely one of the best fitters in the business if you recommend it , it will be good
Thanks for watching my video.
Yes The grabon is a very good tool. I ordered two of them With Eddy from Midwest Trade Tool. I only trust this tool lifting large format. One of those pieces drops something is getting damaged or someone’s getting hurt.
Quality tools that can be trusted to do the job they are designed to do.
Great video! I need to get one now, 😆 more camera/video gear or tile tools 🤔
👍 👍 👍
Steve get both. 😊
I leveled the floor according to your suggestions. I tried my best and happy to learn from you. Did room by room to avoid fast drying the self leveler is 3/4 thick in some places, but I'm not sure why it cracked after drying in some areas( I did primed before applying self leveling and all according specifications). Are the cracks acceptable or should I redo the entire 1000 square foot floor area. It would be almost impossible.
Can you do a video on cutting extra large format/ oversize tiles? Rip cuts that are 40 inches or greater...Cross cuts over 30 inches or greater. Since tiles are getting so large, the equipment manufacturers are not keeping up with the trends. Seems you Would need to invest in MASSIVE/HEAVY expensive bridge saws or use freehand "circular" wet saws which don't yield great cuts or straight cuts. Any tips are appreciated
Will keep it in mind
Looks like a great tool. BTW, what kneepads do you use? I see you using long thick pads that look very comfortable. Link?

Izzy Swan been using and promoting the Grabo for a few months now
I have seen his videos, great stuff.
Do You use extendable poles if You are putting larger tile format on ceilings (for support), like a bathroom? I'm about to put-up 10/20" ceramic tile and was wondering if it was going to fall on my head off the ceiling when I first put it up. Thanks again for all your videos. They are of great help!

Thanks Sal. Hi from Edinburgh Scotland.

Sal,. Is there a carbide holesaw fort cutting around shower valves? Cement fiber board Jeff ,. Ohio
Scroll trough my Amazon store, I have several on there, www.amazon.com/shop/saldiblasi
Hi Sal I was wondering if you have ever used the WEDI shower system or have any comments about the system or products. I am a remodeling contractor that has used it a few times for a flush floor installation. In Minnesota thanks
ua-cam.com/video/G0ViFmacb0M/v-deo.html I prefer Laticrete and schluter over wedi, but it is a very good system.
What about laying 100cm ×100cm or even bigger on your own ,would you use 2 grabos for really big tiles, very hard on your back laying anything bigger than 75cm
Anything bigger really needs to guys, but yes two grabos would help. amzn.to/3BYl96I
love the video on the grabo, but Sal you really need 2 of those on tile that big ;) not so hard on the wrist.
Had the same thought.
Ciao sal un saluto dall italia
Ciao Davide
Looks like you notched the back of the tile too. I know that is recommended with bigger tiles. At What size tiles do you notch the back butter? Appreciate a link to video if you have it.
Usually bigger tiles, but it all depends on the situation, I have done it with 12x24 tiles sometimes.
I was wondering about that too.
Is it hard to back butter with the grabber on the tile
Not really, actually makes it easier.
Good evening Sir would you have the model number off that tile absolutely beautiful!!!

@@SalDiBlasi my apologies was taking about the tile that you where laying.
@@overlord11691 Sorry, supplied by the homeowner. If you watch the video you might get a glips of the box ua-cam.com/video/P7ZI1k_tr5U/v-deo.html
Did u buy these or were they given to you?
I buy all my tools.
@@SalDiBlasi well u sir should be giving tools. I've bought a few just from ur videos alone. Although I regret buying the tabletop iq. It breaks the end of tile every time
Was trying to find an appropriate video to talk about money which for me is the worst part of tiling .
Having agreed a price for a job with a customer and a person I know before starting he then asked me at end of job what he owed me , I being bit surprised said the figure we agreed and he said "well you said about that much so was hoping you d take some off " , I had no recollection of saying "about" and refused to budge , he grudgingly gave me the money , gave cash which I did nt ask for and then some sarcastic remarks about tax free money , I am so annoyed now over this ,his budget went over and he wanted me to work cheap , I did a real good job but I left the house with a bad feeling , he made me feel like I charged an outrageous price and my weekend ruined
This is why you always write up a contract and spell it all out, what you will do, what you will not do, what is included and what is not. include a phrase that covers your rear end if other people have done work before you that you have to fix. Check out Luke Miller on Tile Money. This is his Channel, but he really more a podcast guy. ua-cam.com/users/TileMoney
@@SalDiBlasi Thanks Sal , ill check him out , did nt know his channel , looks interesting
