Favourite grout float?

Flintstone · Dec 6, 2016

It's not something I've ever given a lot of thought as I used to get good quality ones from my local supplier but the last couple I got have been dreadful quality. I tried one with an angled handle and that gave a lot of wrist strain. Is there one that is above the rest?? One thing I have found is the more solid rubber ones are good and seem to remove more grout off the face

Marshalltown grout float for me.

Linky although I get mine cheaper than this.

Started out with one like this.......

Marshalltown for me too. Never tried epoxy floats on standard grout. Got a couple in the shed though so might have a bash

I like the wooden handled rubi ones.
The one at the top looks good tho.

That's what I've been using and the rubber bit of it is great but the handle angle I found so un natural

Great float, keeps the tiles nice and clean, but yes, the handle is a bit of a pain
