what trowel does everyone use. tried loads from rubi to cheap £2 specials. finally bought a marshalltown one cost around£20 but it has lasted ages and the weight and feel of it is spot on

Still got the same trowel I started with 35 years ago!
If you clean them with a little WD40 at the end of each day they last forever.
I've only replaced the handle 21 times and the blade 28 times but its as good as new! (trigger)

Timeless John.

using rubi at the moment, just fits my hand comfortably but everybody is different

I use it to lift the tiles mainly at I take my adhesive out of the bucket with my notched trowel the bal one i find the strongest as lot of weight on a 60x60 with a bucket load of adhesive under it :Pete

i use rubi myself.iv seen me cleaning it off with a hammer manys of times.lol.still going strong.

I use a bucket trowel / A gauging trowel and a margin trowel... would be lost without my margin trowel.

Trade tiler does some good Rubi ones...

Like the handle on the rubi but marshall town are good as well, nice flex in the blade

IM USING THE RUBI ONES AT THE MOMENT.nice grip etc,find the cheap ones are rubbish,handles breaking and bending.

tyzack are the bad boys!

i use the marshall town tile setter trowel bit wider than the guager also use a marshall town gauger find these trowels light and well balanced with good wooden handels ,i find the plastic handeled trowels annoying if you get the handles wet you have to wipe them dry where as the wooden handel trowels dont slip in your grip if they are wet and seem to dry themselves much better its is such a small thing but is important if you are going to be working with them all day
