    Default Rubit 45 degree trowels...

    Rubi trowel.jpg

    What are peoples views on these? I will be buying myself some new trowels soon as my Rubis are starting to get tired.
    Just wanted to know what people thought of the 45 degree trowels. Do they give 100% coverage i.e suitable for floors?
    I use a half moon and back butter all floor tiles, would a 45 degree trowel and back buttering give better coverage?
    Thanks for any reviews

    I have not tried them yet Rich, but my mate Ozboz swears by them, he rang me the other day raving about how good they are. Maybe he will give his opinion next time he logs on.

    Yeah Dave, tooth depth and a bit out of shape, if these are not much cop then I might just have a hack with the grinder.
