Re: rubi trowels.
Is it the rubber handle that could be causing the problem

Re: rubi trowels.
It's a different shaped handle , so you will get used to it....blisters..stop gripping so hard.

Re: rubi trowels.
my rubi trowels gave me blisters aswell but i find them better to use and easier to clean.....they are the rubber handles! got used to them and as dave said i found that not gripping them too hard stopped the blisters

Re: rubi trowels.
Just bought my first rubi trowel last month. Tried a few trowels and liked the rubi best. Just horses for courses 'suppose!
