Tile drilling guide with water ring

Start holes in glazed tiles without skidding

Stick it on a glazed tile with double-sided tape, fill the inner ring with water and drill through the centre hole: the bit cannot skate across the glaze, and the water runs down to keep diamond and tile bits cool so they cut instead of burning.
