I spent 3 hours cutting tile with a manual snap cutter for a backsplash before I finally bought a $90 wet saw.

Now I can't believe I ever tried to do it the hard way, so what's one tool you waited too long to get?

That wet saw purchase is a game changer for sure. What kind of tile were you trying to cut with the snap cutter that made it such a nightmare? I've seen people fight with those things on anything but the most basic straight lines.

Yeah, @wesley_hart, it was 12x24 porcelain tile... the snap cutter just wouldn't score deep enough without chipping the glaze. Trying to cut a skinny 2-inch strip for the edge of the shower was impossible, it would just break wrong every time. The wet saw made those cuts clean in seconds.
