Sigma 47m7 washboy. - Tile Advice

[DHTiling]

My Karl darhm washboy is looking pitted from a lot of use over the yrs and black grout.

So decided I need 2 washboys , one for the dark black grouts etc, so no worries about a scrubbing it clean as much.

I have seen the sigma 47m7 washboy and it looks the dogs danglies.

So it arrives tomoz. .

I do hope it will serve me as well as my KD one has and still will.

I have one exactly the same, badged differently from protilertools, a maximo profil. Just looked on there site and i think they have stopped doing them. Great washboy though. I have 3 washboys now, can't help collecting them:lol:

genesis washboys are 15.95 from ctd at the moment good washboy just needs the nuts on the rollers replaced with lock nuts and away you go

How much is the sigma one Dave, list for my one was around £70ish from memory. But my memory is a bit hazy nowaday's.

Looks like it lol.

I hate the cheapo washboys. They fall apart in a crack.

Seen some very flimsy rubi ones in Ctd , would get crushed in my van in no time.

We have this model and a cheaper version with all plastic rollers. The better ones have stainless steel rollers etc.. All our washboys are made in Germany along with our trowels. It does say MADE IN GERMANY on the side.

Looks the same to me just has a different sponge handle. Ours has the segmented sponge with interchangable handle.

Actually the sponge in that image looks a little like the Spanish branded ones?.
