As a Professional tiler I will not buy any other type of scratch and snap. This is great for kitchen splash backs. Its small enough to get into small spaces. It is strong and sturdy and will last. I also have a 600mm Rubi cutter and I have had it for years. As I said it is VERY strong and does the job. You will find most Professionals tilers use only rubi. Why settle for 2nd best. If you are going to be doing a lot of tiling get a Rubi
