Left handed trowels

[Tile The World]

I've seen lots of left handed tiling trowels about, are there really that many left handed tilers about? Plus, do they actually feel different to a right handed one?

We used to teach left handed tilers with left handed trowels and they did spot the difference but I suppose those that got used to the right handed trowels got used to them as they thought they felt funny. But yes, there's a need for them.

Im a lefty and there is no way i could use a righty, Whilst i was on my course for the 1st couple of hours i found that the gear was going every apart from where i wanted it.
When the instructor 1st said i could have a left handed trowel i thought he was taking the p**s. I say "Praise the lord" for anything designed to aid the gifted.

I am cack handed and as there are 10% of people are lefties then it only goes that 10% of tilers are lefties perhaps more as it has been proven that we are more intelligent!!!!!!

Not much difference to manufacture if youlook as it is only the handle welded at 180 degrees or the baseplate turned over whichever way you look at it.

Nice barnet Albert

Tiler tom,
You should'nt refer to yourself/us as "cackhanded" - We are gifted, as we are in the minority and minorities in this country get the better deal. SO STAND-UP AND BE PROUD TO BE A LEFTIE.
Long live the lefties.
