Hi all, My old screeding trowel finally gave up the ghost today and I'm looking to buy a new one. Any thoughts on the best makes and size blades to go for ?
I dont like it, however 'Tucker' of here (my old apprentice) swears by the stand up trowel. He loves it. Each to there own
Just to add, your trowel (as people who attended the forum open day last week will know) should be used simply as a tool to push your compound into place. Hence the bigger it is the better. If your using a spike roller and a good compound you dont really need a trowel.
I Dont always post, but always read!!! It is good to see what all the other fitters think about their tools. where they would reccomend and what That way I can bring items to stock that fitters like. www.carpetfittersshoponline.co.uk rugrat
id like to see the big double edged duck bill float thats in the f ball demo vids. Anyone got one? what they like?
This is the style I always use I like the pointed nose to work the screed into corners cleanly. This 400mm narrow one costs about £7 from tool station but you'd be better with a stainless one.
I used to fork out for Marshaltown trowels, but the Ragni ones are good quite narrow with a chunky wooden handle. What a tool!
I have a couple of Marshall town trowels 13 inch I think maybe 12 it's the best I've found over the years they get a nice curve to them quite soon very good to use I have 2 of them and alternate use them so there both the same feel so if I lose or one breaks I still have another worn in ready as I hate the feel of a new trowel
I would love to be able to supply the kool glide and a few other tools unfortunatly some companies dont see the UK as a good market. (back to that discount warehouse image) I have sent request to a few companies but some dont even reply! Lastest ome is a Swiss company
