funny that video when he picks the tile up and it says 100% coverage its not the same tile that is placed on the adhesive bed , the tile they pick up has adhesive on the back of it and there is adhesive on the floor but its not 100% contact as you can see the adhesive ribs full contact 100% coverage would mean no ribs of adhesive and all air from under the tile released ,they are good trowels but it the method of fixing and consistency of the adhesive that gives full coverage not the trowel notch

Thats much better film of coverage Gary ! you can see the stipple pattern on the undersides of tile and sub straight where the suction of pulling them apart has been great......

Go with Gary on the method of applying adhesive and consistency over serration design. Would be good to try so might investigate what sizes they come in

the trowels are manufactured in Germany by a company called schneegans gmbh Index Schneegans GmbH & Co. Bauwerkzeug KG ,the trowels are called holotop

We got a similar trowel to this. I was looking at both of them the other day at a customers store. It's in the Kera cut video at 12:00min. They guy does push down a little hard on the glass though:whistling:

It is virtually the same trowel and it is quite good to use , and better than the monty slant trowel.

Not sure if the trowel above is stainless steel? Looks good. Our ones have made in Germany stamped on them and four spot welds underneath instead of three. Plus the design is lightly different. probably all the same thing though.
