I use paddles with m14 thread and i have to say that i have seen marked deterioration in quality in last year.
i think you now really do get what you pay for.
there is one that i used to get that had a good life usage but now this has been reduced by at least 80%.
i wont name it as some people will know supplier and think i should tell supplier first .he is very good on most products.
what i have done till now is switch back to previous supplier who is more expensive. that is refina .
only time will tell if their whisks are as good as they used to be.
this leads me on to buckets to mix adhesive in.
the quality of black builder buckets is simply appalling now and even the so called yellow ones last not much longer.
if i had the time i would go through my receipts and probably find i spend well over £ 500.00 a year on buckets.
the time has really come when im thinking to ay £15-20 on good german bucket, cant find one in
uk and hope no one swipes them .
they now seem good value.
to put in context though, my business are not knocking up a few mixes a day.
we are solid bedding stone to average 7 mm bed to level floor and a bucket gets a good hammering and probably affected by a whisk that is not what it used to be.
buckets and pencils are my big bug bear but will do a new post re pencils.
ive found abeauty and it saves hundreds of pounds a yaer i reckon.
