spring steel trowel are the best they last much longer and dont bend as easy

ask grand wizard he has some good views about trowels ;D......personnaly ive always used marshalltown tried tyzack but didnt really like them

 

[Gibbo]

the best trowel is the one you feel most comfortable with personally i use a 16x4 mt carbon with wooden handle as for breaking in just use it the action of taking plaster off the hawk or handboard will break it in

 

[southernmonkey]

ive got loads of trowels i might even stick a couple on ebay, use a 13x5 golden permashape for rendering and a 13x5 carbon steel for skimming got to say i prefer carbon steel as you get a nice bot of flex with the blade

 

[iain_flanagan]

as they say stick with what ya know,got me sen a new marshalltown in the end

Save your money my friend and stick with marshalltown, i also went over to tyzack and within a few months the trowel was all bent and twisted. We dont make stainless like we use to and we can`t produce trowels like the yanks can. Regards kosta (k`s plastering services)
