Hello everyone,

Can anyone give me any feedback on the plasplugs trowels and tile nippers, They seem very cheap.

Hi M8 I use a plasplugs grout float and it's still my favourite. Also used a plasplugs trowel which rusted in no time - not recommended.

Buy cheap - buy twice
(apart from grout floats)

I quite like plasplugs trowels because there rust free and not too heavy.
Pretty nice being able to just dump your adhesive encrusted trowel in a bucket of water knowing it isnt going to corode, then you can clean when you want to.
----
if you get the rust free plaslugs trowel they should last you a good year or two before warping.
----
i paid about £9 or something for plasplugs rust free trowel - not much more for a ruby one though with a nice rubber handle and better riveting - i dont know if they are rust proof though.

I agree with Gaz, I always clean and dry my gear after I've used it. I Take as much pride over the kit as I do with the tiling. It makes working much easier if your not scraping hard adhesive off rusty trowels at the beginning of the day.
( I've even been known to smear oil on them if there not going to be used for a few days.
