save your money, stick with a feather edge.

 

[pftmonojetman]

Very rare you'll use a darby these days what with d&d and that, get a feather edge like pug man says.

 

[gmw]

There spot on for render,you can bend some work with em!

 

[tommyspread]

a general rule is darby for pricework featheredge for timework

 

[nicksey1401]

darbys are like big trowels mate hold them flat against the wall with plenty of pressure behind .........essential for k-rend

It's more of a northerner s rule I'm told

 

[jamesh271]

Been classed as a northerner I have one.. come out on occasions. !!! Good for floating browning etc...

 

[joet]

I have one and I'm from down south. It's good.

 

[keithuk]

Don,t tell the Northerners ,they will steal it :RpS_scared::RpS_wink:............ok guys, only a joke honest :RpS_crying:

 

[hector]

honestly cant believe our southern friends have just discovered the magnificent,stupendous, one of the most sought after tools ever, the....... drum rollllll , the darby, I myself have 3, 1 metal and 2 wooden darbys,

 

[keithuk]

We have so much to learn Hector :RpS_thumbup:

 

[hector]

I know keith I know, handboard darby, there must be times during the long dark winter nights when you must say to yourself lets move up north

 

[bubbles65]

Tell them nowt Hector :RpS_unsure:

 

[plasterjfe]

Use em every day. We do render only but for two coat plaster they are mint.

Effectively a h rule or any edge for two coat is a Darby just with a modern name or no handles.

I just purchased a serrated Darby with wood handles. Its French and the dogs for render if you don't like h groove handle on the edges these days.

 

[church]

had one years back when browning was used , then took off the handles and used it as a feather edge .

Marshall Town 14" Plasterers Hawk | eBay

Called a 'Hawk', anyone ever use em.....I've heard they're for spreading your plaster before you put it on the wall?

Sorry, couldn't resist! :RpS_tongue:

 

[beddy]

I had a couple of Darbys and liked using them but they were a bit flimsy. If I could get some solid rigid ones I would buy them
