evening all. i have allways,allways sworn by marsheltown trowels. but i have now got a 12mm notched rubi,and it doesn`t half give me a blister!. so i will soon ditch this and go back to my marsheltown.:thumbsdown:
going to do a clear out of old tools and going to buy some new trowels looking on trade tiler got old rubi trowels thinking of hoffman or marshalltown for a change what do you think is best?
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)

Hey all just wondering how many trowels you have to cover different jobs - I currently only have three - a 12mm solid bed for floors, a 6 mm for walls and a 4mm for mosaics.
I saw one today which had teeth that looked like a saw? have any of you used this and what for?!
Cheers

I am not a pro-tiler so could I ask if there are technical advantages of one over the other in use or longevity, or is it down to personal preference or cost.
