itool stand up trowel

I've a big screeding job to do in a week or so, I'm going to get the itool mixing bucket what do you lads think of the standing up screeding trowel i have a pin leveller which is ok on big jobs.

Why not stick with the pin leveler ?
How big is it ? I have been toying with the idea of a pump.
Just did 2000 sq. m with 2 mixer`s, float and spikey

 

Not that big 500 sq.m

We do that size a lot.
It`s not as bad as it sounds.
A couple of guy`s mixing, 3 on trowel`s and one moving the buckets+spikey.
We got over a 1000 sq vacuumed, primed, and latexed in a day

 

The i tools stuff looks really good.
But a good mixer, and a couple of m&s trolleys, big buckets or bins will do the job fine. And will cost about £20. Job done !

 

and another one counting the money!

 

I have Charlie pushing that out on the wheelbarrow !

 

Just looked at these and they look really good.

I used something similar to the screeding trowel before and didn't find it very good but the iTools one looks better quality.

When I used it it was on a bad subfloor and the trowel obviously followed the contour of the floor and also because of the size of the notches your limited to how much screed you can put down.

On a reasonable subfloor like a new slab that needs s skim it would be a great tool but on a floor that's had ceramics taken up I don't see it being very effective

 

I have a pin leveller which aim going to use as the sub floor is very smooth.

Just done the job the itool mixing bucket is brill did 400 sq m in 3 hours with fballs 300.

I am in the middle of trying to make my own one. As Baldrick says "I have a cunning plan..."

 

and a nice missus!

 

Where can you get the handle for the pin leveller? Or can you just use a paint type pole?
