I have been trying out the Genesis Tiger trowel, yes the wobble notch item.
It is said to enable you to get a solid bed of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/. In the past I have tried the Rubi 45 degree notch and the Raimondi slant notch but this is by far the best. It doesnt use as much https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ as you would think and in my tests gave a solid bed of https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/.
My only issue was the handle, while it seemed fine when holding it at first, as my hands became wet from water and https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ it became harder to hold. Wasnt a major problem and maybe it was more because I was used to the Rubi handles.

Well got mine from ctd last week ,used it twice once on a good floor once on a not so good floor.

On the good floor i got perfect coverage,no back butter worked a treat,on the not so good floor had to back butter but was still getting 90% coverage on average.

On the good floor i reckon i used less addy than i would with a 12mm solid bed trowel,was around 10m2 and i had change outta 2 bags,on the other it was 18m2 and i used just on 4 bags.

Hey all just got a similar [probably made somewhere similar] from Sigma. Worth considering as an alternative. Looking forward to using it.
