Sorry mate I can't find the PM function.

I bought one of your riveted trowels the other day but haven't used it as it looks like it with damage my trowel. the revits have bent the trowel so only the edges make contact. The rivets themselves also sit proud so it looks like they will chip my trowel too.

I was going to take the trowel to a metal worker and have them sort it out but was wondering if you have had the problem with other trowels or if this is a one off?

...bit gutted really as its a good idea but I like to look after my tools.

I use the Trowhawk all the while and i have had no probs removing a full trowhawk full of finish off it onto my stainless steel finishing trowel the hardness of the steel blade is softer than the hardness of the stainless steel trowel hence the blade should not damage the trowel .That has been tested by a qualified metalurgist for instance lead is softer than iron hit the lead with the iron what happens .work it out cheers
 
Spunkgurgler......sshhhhhhh

I'm having a bath with scented candles and the sounds of Barry White.

...and yes, I'm cleaning my spuds with your sponge float.
 
Jim I used the trowhawk and got on with it especially in gorilla tubs you're not chasing the bit at the bottom I had a look in bq and regular Ragni bucket trowels are a tenner ....mine broke too sorry mate lol it went after a few days
 
Might be worth trying a slightly wider one you're up against lads using bucket trowels and i bet 80% of the lads using them are using them as bucket trowels one visit to the gorilla tub would be good to fill a hawk

i reckon i could chuck most of my tools out the van if i bought one of those

only let down is you can't plaster with it...........
 
Just cancel my order jimmyfish. I'm having a shovel. :RpS_wink:




Oh hang on, you never replied lol
 
Jim, does the trowhawk work ok with the white slim buckets?

I know how you say that the trowhawk is here and its here to stay but from a lot of the reviews it doesnt seem like it stays around for long.

Do you know whether the improvements that you have made have been successful?

If so I think I may oreder one.

Cheers

It fits most round containers or tubs cheers as for the modifications well they have been very sucessful. also most of the reviews on here are by people who dont even own a trowhawk they comment and criticise but they dont really know. A lot of hard work and time has gone into getting this to where it is and beleive me its here to stay.Thank you .james

Hello nick the trowel does sell abroad because a lot of european countrys dont use hawks they use materials straight from containers as for making money well you reap what you sow and a lot of hard work time and effort has gone into getting this to market you can work that one out yourself.It doesent come cheap setting up something like this .Costs from the onset patent fees .tooling .manufacturing .material costs and so on theres so much involved it makes the head spin sometimes thanks for your comments.jimfish. PS its not a replacement for the hawk but unique trowel for various jobs plastering being just one.
 
Oasis is no longer here jim well he might be but under a different name? As for the trowhawk mate mine never broke but for the lack of use i gave it to my brother and i think it broke on him as he used it a lot as a bucket trowel also as i didnt use it it rusted up have you done a stainless version yet?

Hello bod a stainless version will be produced soon also a super strong plastic one as you know carbon steel does tend to rust up but i always spray my trowels including the stainless ones and the trowhawk with wd40 after use it keeps them in top condition for next time
