I dislike snappers very much.I worked with couple and regardless of how sharp or greased they are,its still effort and there is no guarantee for nice final product.

I find they do not leave you a straight edge,something that can be very important in precise installation.

Also, cuts, this precision build deathtrap, makes are never aesthetically nice.

Investing into buying one can be a big waste of money(in my opinion).

I just use wet-saw for all basic tile/paver/cultured stone installations

You can rent one(snapper) from HD for under 20$ a day

Thanks Gabe,

I figured they'd be next to nothing to rent, and possibly worth a try. But nobody's got them, so that must speak to they're popularity around here....

You are welcome.

Oh, they are definetly worth a shot if you are snapper type of guy.(you wont discover until u try)

But they are big waste if you are like me and after first stone you just going to hate it...I hated it quiet a bit so spending even 50$ for a tool that you can re-sell only for probably half,will become waste of money for you that could have ended up in your gas tank(for example).

I would suggest concrete saw,just like Dick said,or maybe even circular saw with Bosch diamond blade for dry cutting...works pretty well.
