TOOL BASICS / 3 min read
A tool for every little job
Get to know the real-world jobs behind our animated crew.

Start with the job
Organize your tool list around measuring, layout, spreading setting material, positioning, and cleanup. A tool that works on one project may be unsuitable for another tile or installation system.
Choose compatibility over appearance
Ask which trowel notch your setting-material supplier recommends and whether a leveling system supports your tile thickness and joint requirements. Character illustrations do not establish product specifications.
Keep a record
Save tool model numbers, instructions, and supplier recommendations. Tile Tales product photos, final specifications, and demonstrations will be added after real samples are documented. Character artwork is not a product listing.
These introductory resources are not sample-tested installation procedures. Always use current manufacturer instructions for your materials and tools.
