which solid bed trowel do you prefer and why?

Use the Rubi with the soft grip handle, I find the handles very comfortable. I have a couple of Rubi trowels with the wooden handles and they are horrid.

I've got so many trowels but my favorites are the karl dahm ones, there light and a good rubber handle to grip.

this is the one I usually use Gary, will vote "other"

I will be voting other, 11 in all from draper vitrex and marshalltown and ragni, have found ragni to be the most comfortable to use grip and balance.

Rubi and raimondi are my favs.

I use this...



but i do also use the rubi 10mm half round notch







Oh and rarely i use the big big solid bed trowel





but not often as it gives megga wrist ache and eats more adhesive than chubby brown eats pies..

I have a few different one's but normally just choose by the size I need rather than the brand, as I don't really find that much difference between them all.....


Created on iPhone.....

all my trowels are rubi soft grip never tried any other brand maybe i should dont fancy the wooden handle ones though

I use Bright Ideas trowels, double leg handles like the 1st one in daves post.

Ive had 3 operations on my wrist & these give me more support than single leg trowels.

I will vote other.

I use that one Dave, like you say it eats the adhesive

I use the Rubi pictured in Dave's post and sometimes the bigger beast if the floors need it, I call it Hughie because it is huge (I tend to give my tools names).
