New notched trowels?

[burncross]

Has anyone seen or used the new design 'notched' trowels, like the one in the pic, but i have seen some other designs too, like the ones at YTA (are they still a sponsor)

That's different, surely with the different size teeth your gonna get less coverage or at least different thickness's of addy on the back of the tile. Is it an 8mm with bigger 10mm inserts, in which case your using more addy than needed, if 8mm is needed ( profits ) or is it a 10mm with smaller 8mm inserts in which case the coverage may be a problem. No doubt their homework has been done, it will be interesting either way.

I think you will find that the notch design is designed to give full coverage in all situations, and tries to eliminate the need to back butter tiles.

Karl Dahm do similar things with something called a "Euro Notch" trowel.
