    I don't like the idea of that gear at all or trust it ?
    Expoy is a safe bet every time

    100% recommend it Dave. At first I was in 2 minds just because its an expensive peice of kit for what it is but now Ive got 1 im all over it.
    Had a little audience whilst using it as well, looks the business :cool:
    I bought 2 and got a 10% discount with PW flooring and now im going to get the Stand up trowel to.
    Like pigsarse says though you need to make sure you keep your bucket clean, they're not cheap.

    Thanks mate. Defo on my list to get. I always clean my buckets after every screed job any way. Nothing worse than trying to clean out dried screed at the next job. Takes more time to do that than rinsing off straight after use. It's like a mate of mine who doesn't clean his glue trowel till next job, he spends 15 mins cleaning and wire brushing it. Takes a minute to clean it of with washing up brush and a bucket of water at the ready straight after use.

    Let me know when you're thinking of getting one Dave and I'll probably get one as well.

    Do you need full DPM or would a suppressant do? Cos you could use the new Ardex MVS95. Its a 2 coat application usually dried in about 11/2-2 hours then you could use their A55 rapid dry water mix. As the name suggests usually ready to fit after about 55 mins.

    Speak to Alison at PW, she'll sort you out.
    Worked out to £323 (bucket/drill holder/trolley/hoover pipe bracket/whisk) delivered.

    Used it again today18m2 utility room = 1 x 3bag mix of 300hd. Sent a few cheeky texts whilst eating my sandwich and the station mixed up for me :D....just need to find someone to pour it for me now!

    ...then add the VAT.
    Was going to get one from Mario but just wasn't getting the answers to my questions and the response was slow, Obviously I know your a busy man Mario juggling work and the shop so Pw got 2 to me nextday.

    i believe the one sold on trade discount shop after you add the VAT and delivery works out the cheapest.

    Also dont forget you only pay postage once so if you was buying lets say some blades or even a tramex kit with the discount code which makes it A LOT CHEAPER than what Tramex themselves was offering at harrogate show it all works out cheaper than anyone else.

    To offer such cheap prices Mario does not earn any where enough money to sit in the shop every day so he has to do a full days work before he starts sorting tools out. Mario does have a choice tho, employee someone and raise the prices ! im sure we are happy to wait until the evening for mario to reply and remain with the cheapest possible prices.

    I'd buy from Mario even if he was a bit more expensive coz he's such a nice chap & goes to the end of earth to help out (well China)

    LOL, he is really good. More so his days work tends to be from 7am - 10pm before he starts sorting trade discount shop orders. Mario survives on 3 hours sleep per day 7 days a week ! .
