once them 5" trowels ar properly worn in there nice trowels , i know there called pemashape and are supposed to be worn in already, they still need wearing in properly to sharpen them up, get one send it down to me for a couple of months of rendering and i'l send it back all nice lol

i use tyzack premiers 13 inch i get on with them ok , couldnt use a 5 inch wide trowel must belike using a dust bin lid.

i was always like that but there actually good trowels and dont forget the standard sisize for a marshall is 14 x 4 3/4 anyway so it's only quarter inch bigger but they still take the same amount of breaking in

I think 4 &1/2 would be a good width but with a slightly thinner blade thinkness than 28 of a thou

ok cheers for that

Hi, my rivets have just started to go on my trowel it has served me well for over 8 years but for the life of me i cannot find another one the same width.mine when it was new was less than 4 inch's wide and was a marshaltown. I have looked everywhere ebay gibbs and dandy jewson screwfix even cpd and capco and when i asked for a plasterers trowel they kept trying to sell me surf boards...5 inch's wide ????????
Was hoping someone can point me in the right direction...Thanks........
