had a few beers one night last week after clearing out my shed and decided to sell my spot board as it hasn't been out of the shed in 6 months as on a lot of my jobs a don't have room for it or I get tired of cleaning it, so sold it and put the money to a r#fin# alloy bucket scoop.... it arrived today and will christen it tomorrow.. anybody else have one and what do you think?
only time will tell

I use the mac scoop and the 75ltr bucket from refina, made a wheeled dolly so the gears always next to me, only do new builds and much prefer it to the spot and stand.
That said i wouldnt part with it cause i still do the occasional render, and would never float straight out of a bucket.

Had it for a couple of years there well built, obviously you could use the largest gorilla tub which is also 75ltr but I find them a bit splashy when mixing finish in them.
it was lidl...
I have one as well bud , but still have to bend right over to scoop it out the bucket.. :RpS_crying:

Ref: RM75B Tapered Moulded Bin (75 Litre) with Integral Handle | Plastic Containers, Plastic Crates, Plastic Boxes & Storage Equipment
I think these are the same as the refina tubs there a fair bit cheaper, although not sure what there delivery charges are.
well I used the scoop today and I am liking it.... really saves your back on bending over using the bucket trowel, especially as it fills your hand board with one scoop and not 2/3 with the bucket trowel. if i am honest its too well made as it looks bloody indestructible . as for the spot board/bucket debate I very rarely have space to use a board as only do domestic .
Nice one m8 .... emailed em to see about delivery charges ... Did go onto refina site and ended up with over a ton of tools in my cart... seems a shame to just order a bucket :RpS_lol:

On the subject of diy scoops I saw some lads on a job knocking up hardwall in a small wheelie bin, and using what looked like a, wok cut in half and welded to the bottom of a garden rake handle to scoop it out with.
There lab was wearing a watford shirt. And looked a bit hills have eyes.

You can make them scoops in 5mins with a bottom of a Parex bucket and some plastic pipe. They cost nowt and last years.
Or you could buy an old fashion soup ladle
