Is it the rubber handle that could be causing the problem

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

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
