    I had bought these faithfull tile nippers, which looked good in pic but were utter **** ( even they weren't the cheapest stuff on market and they aren't Faithfull at all!), Didn't realized that I can't even cut a regular tile with them only some very thin stuff and the cutting metal already chipped on them after first usage- went straight to bin.

    Now I'm in desperate need for some good ones that can do their task,
    I saw these rubi ones, but maybe someone can suggest something better or tell if those are any good?

    Why bother with nippers which in my experience always tend to crack that last bit of tile off just where you don't want it.

    get one of these http://www.screwfix.com/p/energer-enb522tcb-450w-tile-cutter-240v/61123 or similar cheap diamond wheel.

    Precise cuts. Even complex cutaways can be made by making several slots and then just breaking off the thin tongues.
