skyzoo u ask anymore questions and you will take my name away from me.. the sponge! socking up all that info! i use the 90 but am interested in them adjustable ones..

Don't bother with an adjustable one Oasis, I bought a Marshaltown one cos a lot of the properties I work in are very old and the internals are never anywhere near 90 degrees.

I used the trowel once, and after about 2 mins I chucked it in the back of the van where it's stayed to this day. It's totally fooking useless!

In Essex that tool is known as a twitcher but is called different things around the country.

 

[spunky]

[simplybesty]
