Ll looks like mine bought a mt magnesium 14x14 in around 99 still going strong in fairness it's had a replacement handle .recently bought a Kraft 16x16 magnesium hawk have to admit it's a lovely hawk but every time I go to the van I take out the mt it just doesn't feel right not using it .also my mixing drill is a Bosch which I bought in 2000 it's had a few jobs done to it but it's still going strong

It is the same, got mine in 99 when I started. Still going strong use it at least 3 days a week. Only use it for dabbing. Got 14x14 kraft to replace it. Will get another MT when that one gets donated to dabbing.

a green plastic tyrol gun that comes out about once every couple of years. lots of early Tyzak moulding tools , brass small tools, other tools that are used for pargetting. a render stipple brush, a muck hod, plastic bath,a larry, a selection of knackered refina,bosch, paddle mixers which we use for spares.. 2 different size metal scoopes for taking material from a tub. these tools are just handy when the time arise.

Christ I thought I was the only one that hadnt thrown his Larry out yet

Savage, I'm glad I don't have to do that!

I used a larry before Browning came on the scene. It was used in slaking lime and making corse stuff. How many spreads know what that was, now?
