"Hi, My name is Brian Carter on behalf of Expertvillage.com. I have ten years of tile experience. Today I am going to show you what tools you are going to need to cut ceramic tile.

We are also going to need some rubber gloves, these are optional but they are very good to keep the clays in the different tile products out of the fingers, which is of great benefit.
