My tyzack twitcher, nearly 40years old!

cant find my old mans one tho, gutted ,
can’t buy them anymore !

 

[skimmingsteve]

Still got my 35 year old tyzack twitcher, beautiful , tough and used often.
Want to buy a new replacement/ spare , but only now available used on ebay.
The newer ones by other brands I have tried so far have all been flimsy or pretty shoddy copies.
A sad day when quality tools are so hard to find.

Does no c**t on here clean their tools ffs. Its embarrasing

Ragni ones are good mate

Ragni ones are good mate

the Ragni twitcher is the only useful tool i have purchased from that firm.

 

[malc]

the oldest tool that i still have is a pair of hand made coving trowels, for sand and cement/granite skirting, 1 straight the other with a 45 deg angle cut on both ends.
i take a photo in the morning.

Tyzack box angle trowel bought in 1984, not my picture. Its in the garage somewhere.

I use my Chrispy tool most of the time and can always get a good ‘finish’

i believe that the box angle trowel was the only shape available to around the 70s when the Tyzack changed to the modern shape.
i had a tyzack semi bullnose internal angle trowel, you they also produced a semi bullnose external.
if you done a set of window reveals they looked like and early TV set. Carpenters would moan that they could not fit the skirting boards. they would chop a lump out of the internal. that idea did not last long.

Come on mate that's not a lath hammer, it's a drywall hammer.
Let's keep this forum correct and accurate, the way it has always been.

You won't get a quicker tool than that.

I don't know who you bought that from, but whoever it was, they definitely saw you coming.
