| Trowels - single hang or double hang | | I am not a pro-tiler so could I ask if there are technical advantages of one over the other in use or longevity, or is it down to personal preference or cost. | | |

| Re: Trowels - single hang or double hang | | You mean open or closed handle! It is really personal preference whatever you prefer I think. I have a couple of each  Although I might add the open handle is easier to hang on your addy bucket, trousers or wherever

| Re: Trowels - single hang or double hang | | Thanks for that, as far as I'm aware their can't be much of a reason for it. It's possibly for strength, larger trowels tend to need more pressure on application......I do have a double hang trowel with removable adhesive notch blade, so there can also be a practical reason.....Gaz. | "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten" |
