11"trowel

[GrantyBoy]

I couldn't give a s**t where the steel on my trowel comes from to be honest.

 

[raggles]

Agreed, they do tend to warp but at £16 and you get a fair bit of use out of them and lovely to use... I found the 14" + sizes a bit too rigid though

I've been using them for 4 or more years now i think and totally agree plus for the money they are very very hard to beat

I think most people who slag them off have never used them tbh

 

[Danny]

if you're a proper plasterer you should be able to leave a good standard with ANY professional trowel.

Could not agree more with that

Still use a 11" Tyzack carbon for making good.

Have a Tyzack 14 inch ordered from the UK to see for myself what they are like.Got the woman to do all the stuff on her laptop that i would'nt have the patience to do.

 

[stuart23]

You never know I might make a British steel made trowel and get it out in limited numbers..question is would people pay more for say, a modern day British steel and British made old style tyzack ?
I know I would

You pay £75 for primer and £12 a bag a plaster so I have no doubt in my mind you'd pay more for a British trowel lol

For some reason the 14" seems way too rigid, the 13" is a lot lighter and more flexible. I've ordered loads for my mates from eBay and they always get delivered in an ENVELOPE !!! Lucky enough none have been damaged but I wouldn't be happy about them arriving undamaged in Kildare

My dad used to swear by double shanked tyzacks, they where the business in 60's and 70's I believe. The newer ones are not built as strong it appears. Tell you what, next time I go back home to Ireland I'm going to raid me dads garages for trowels and floats.

It's all right I've already did it for you. Next time you are home let me know and I'll go on the piss with u.

I suppose that's the chance I have to take.Never saw them in any hardware store here.

Rarely see them in the shops here either. Always used to use 14" mts but found the 13" tyzack lovely, didn't like the 14"" one.
Actually not sure if you know Peter Maguire from Clonuff, Broadford. We worked together in London for 25yrs, he's just moved back home with some of my Tyzacks the c**t . He's a dinosaur and even he's been converted to them

First stainless I ever bought was a tyzack 10 rivet single shank, still got it, comes out now and again.
My guvnor used the twin shank carbons, swore by them, and was upset whenever he wore through to the rivets........a simpler time, hot summers, siripite or board finish, bike cogs and party sevens.

Don't forget the party fours !!! Watneys if I remember rightly red and gold tins you had to thump 2 holes in the lid one to drink out of and the shotgun hole

A bit rigid allright but not a bad trowel to use.

I used both the 13 & 14 inch today - nice finish but my only problem with them is the straight handle - I prefer something curved in my hand...ohhh, young man

Nice that! Take the trouble to sand off that sharp edge on top of the handle, break it in nice and enjoy. Mine is over 30 years old, comes out on special occasions.
