Marshalltown DuraCork handle

[Lastlaff]

Got myself one of these today. By the look, feel & texture, it’s a mix of the normal red rubber with a spray of cork in it - as I like the Nela cork handle I thought I’d try it out. And the cost of it is about 10 mins work.

looks a bit shorter than a normal mt handle, I'll always prefer a wooden handle personally, you can sand it down to suit .

I love the NELA cork but I tend to wear gloves now so it really is not a problem

Feedback after a couple of weeks of work and it is brilliant. First off, It’s the same size as the MT wooden and red handle. There’s not a load of improvements over the standard handles but what i think is good about this DuraCork is when i clean the trowel off and a splash of water gets on the other handle it get slippery - this one doesn’t. But my main problem for me with the red handle is that I’d tend to be gobbing on my palm throughout the day just to get more friction and grip on the other handles. For £15 it’s a bargain.

Well done, that's doubled your personal best time for a semi.
