Had Gary the Rubi rep in at work today, 45° trowel opinions ? - TilersForums.com

I think he is on here as he is on the TTA board. He very much rates these trowels and apparently zee germans have been bending old trowel combs over for 25 years to obtain a true 6,8,10...12mm bed !


Has anyone used them before and what are your opinions ? I was dubious until we had a chat about them and am keen to try them, could this be the end of the normal trowel ?

Yeah I have 2 , sometimes I like them and other days I dont....

 

[White Room]

I have one but rarely use it....

 

[Protilers]

I like tipped trowels personally!

 

[Spud]

we are going to do a test on the testing thread with several types of trowel we can use test 45 degree one if you like

 

[Protilers]

I think Rubi should send us some eh Gary?

 

[cam_low]

That would be a good idea Gary as no in depth reply has been had as of yet. I can see what Gary means by 10 not being 10 etc due to the angles. Once the adhesive companies cotton on to them and start to push them (more adhesive being used) they may get more 'airtime'.

HAHAHA I tried today for a t shirt, a trowel and anything that was free. He did a blow before I could harass him for the jacket I spied in the van haha.

 

[Spud]

do you have his phone number? perhaps he would like to come down and do the test with us

 

[cam_low]

I could get it and ask him to come down, (where is down!>>?)
