You wouldn't expect such an expensive tool to do that...

ano mate dont know what happened

I bought a Grout Float from CTW for £8, and the corners started peeling after the 1st use. A bit dissapointing really, as i could've bout a £3 from a local tat shop that would've lasted better.

same thing happened to mine...however i did like it but same problem.

Did read about this float quite a while ago thats why I did'nt purchace one, the corner did seem to start coming away and even breaking off

Excact same thing happened to mine! was not cheap either! good float while it lasted but wont be buying another thats for sure!!

Marshall town are good but i find they start peeling in the corners after a while

Never tried a rubi float, are they anygood?

never tried them mate the marshalltown is gd but then corners do peel off

After over 32 years in the trade i honestly can say that these are the best grout floats i have ever used.
New RAIMONDI Changeable SOFT Rubber Grout Float 95x245 on eBay (end time 02-Nov-09 1434 GMT)

thanks bud think a will try that looks gd can you buy the rubber for it

Looks cool Sir Ramic. Same kind of edging as an epoxy float? Softer I suppose? Always a fan of Marshalltown stuff but I have never been a great fan of the aluminium plate. Still use one of course. Superior tools made virtually an exact copy but with a hard plastic plate so no metal marks to get rid of. One of the only decent tools they made but I have not seen them here. Hopefully Marshalltown will sort out the problem one day.

You can buy spare rubbers easily, i keep spares for black grout and white grouts.

Yeah much softer, no metal and very sturdy and light.

Just ordered, will give them a try

Iv been using ramondi floats now for a few years and they are fab! My floor float has been going strong now for 18 months! Not bad.the wall like sirs has changeable rubbers so fab too.

Is there a wall and floor one or does the changable one do both ???

i have a stiffer and slightly bigger one that i use for floors.it lasts so long its unreal.no changable rubbers on it.i fear to think of how many metres of tiles i have grouted with it and its still in action today!

Can't you just take them back if they break so soon?
Fit for purpose and all that?
