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 :lol:

You are joking!!!:lol: ...you got banned for talkin about platinum tools...?

Basically, yes.

The reason was, promoting a competitor.:mad2:
Even though his buddies post about everything from Richon Drill bits to B&Q wet saws, even the odd direct link to Trade Tiler.:lol:

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

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.:yes:

welcome to the forums Gizzy.

I have a floor job coming up next week ,so i will let you all know how i get on with the platinum trowels...as for the grout float..i thought it was brilliant before it came apart from the body.

 

[frankenfurter]

Mine came apart as well, glued it up a few times but it splits elsewhere.

Shame I found it really nice to work with. I did hear they would replace any that had split though.

they might have a lot of replacing of grout floats to do then.

 

[gizzy2007]

if mines comes appart it will be getting sent back lol

 

[Bolter]

Mine came apart, all mine have come apart after a couple thousand meters. Im suprised how long they last tbh, although the marshaltown one I have currently seems to be holding up very well so far.

Did read about them a while ago and the corners were breaking off:yikes:
