I bought the both of them, Their ok 10 and 12mm the blade's are quite flimsy, To be honest I don't really think there any better than other trowels for floor's but the 10mm I like em for large tile's on walls. I bought the platinum set but hav'nt used yet but they are heavy and solid £85 the set of three, including delivery and postage

I have the Platinum Trowels, Dave.
As whitebeam says, they are heavy, but you getused to that in no time.
I would not go past them now, great coverage on both walls and floors.

Expensive, but well worth it IMO.

Even worth the banning I got from another Tilers Forum for talking about them

Basically, yes.

The reason was, promoting a competitor.

Even though his buddies post about everything from Richon Drill bits to B&Q wet saws, even the odd direct link to Trade Tiler.

He started off by kicking me out of their sooperdooper secret forum section.

After that all of the clique turned against me.
Some guys from touting themselves for helping out on a big job I have in a hotel, to calling me for everything.

Then when I had a pop at some of the hypocritical view points on immigrants, I was kicked out altogether.
