New Raimondi Toys...

[merlecollins]

As twas my birthday last week I treated myself to a new washboy and pair of kneelers

The washboy plastic seems equal to my Karl Dahm, but not too sure on the rollers set up - think the thin metal bar that retains the bucket sides together may well get lost in time. Built in wheels seem OK, but time will tell.
Knee pads are great - really soft and comfortable with a nice strap that wraps around the top of your calf rather than behind the knee
I'm keeping the washboy for use on light coloured grouts only, so won't be using till next week - will report back then.
Using the kneelers tomorrow, so will report back tomorrow night....

I agree on the rollers.. i am not a fan of plastic ones...

I had that washboy for a couple of years.i found that the tray sits way too high in it meaning you have to put a lot more water in there! Not nice if climbing stairs etc with it.real good quality though.i like the raimondi tools.great floats and trowels etc.not forgeting wedges too.

not forgeting wedges too

I've got the wedges Joe - best I've used

Well I've now had a couple of days using the Relax knee pads.......

Rubbish

Too narrow for my knees (no I haven't got fat knees:lol the side walls of the plastic front is far too narrow and consequently I am wearing them they keep twisting sideways and constantly have to be adjusted:mad2:

I will persevere for now but can see them being relegated to the top shelf in the vanrrr:

Yes...., I now know I should have gone for Alpro's Dave:lol::lol:

Already got a KD mate, just fancied a change/new one for light coloured grouts - hoping the 'Skipper' will be OK but not holding my breath.....

On the plus side the Raimondi slant ridge serator I got is 'BRILLIANT' and is by far the easiest trowel I have ever had to clean

i agree with the slant ridge trowel far the easiest to clean

Just ordered a slant trowel, massive U notch trowel and a packet of wedges. I can see myself getting an unusual trowel fetish soon.:lol:
