Starting to prefer this setup over my marshalltown!

 

[JessThePlasterer]

I’ve never seen a dewalt trowel

 

[raggles]

The big question is, are you not worried Baron Von Greenback might try to have them away one day when your back is turned. ?

 

[smoother09]

All tools need to stand test of time come back in 3months and let us know if its in skip or still going strong!

so what does it do better than your marshalltown?

 

[SmoothCriminal]

By the looks of it your putting on with that 0.7 flex

 

[PenfoldPlasteringServices]

By the looks of it your putting on with that 0.7 flex

There’s no flex on it at all.. Infact the dewalt 0.7 is actually stiffer & stronger than the marshalltown. Also the handle is a lot more comfortable to hold.

so what does it do better than your marshalltown?

For a start looks better! And the build quality seems better than my marshalltown

[John j]

so it's not a flex trowel then even though says so on blade?
that makes sense

 

[John j]

Just admit it looks pretty

 

[SmoothCriminal]

So a flex trowel with no flex.. an I thought Covid was confusing.

 

[LTJ]

It’s a company putting buzz words on trowel, that they know fuuck all about producing, coz they know all the trowel whores will jump on the trend

 

[MakeItSmooth]

So a flex trowel with no flex.. an I thought Covid was confusing.

They're doing 0.7mm, 0.5mm, and 0.4mm versions, but yeah, it is stupid to label 0.7mm as a 'flex' trowel, unless the steel has been specifically treated to make it more flexible than standard 0.7/0.8 laying-on trowels.


It might be made for Level 5, in a Polish factory, and rebadged for them (some Dewalt gear definitely appears to be, especially their overpriced spats)

Haven’t looked into these to be honest but looks like a standard 4.5-5inch width so with that blade being 0.7 there’s gonna be no flex at all, just putting the popular words on the trowel to make it more marketable

not as pretty as you ginge

The refina standard (now called finatex) laying on trowel, isn't that a 0.6mm blade?

 

[MakeItSmooth]

Finatex 1, I believe so, yes

Finatex 2, I think is 0.5mm

 

[essexandy]

So what is the thickness of the blade on a Permashape trowel?

 

[SmoothCriminal]

0.6 maybe

 

[bobski]

So what is the thickness of the blade on a Permashape trowel?

I think 0.7mm

Pretty sure it was on here a while back.

 

[MakeItSmooth]

I think 0.7mm

Pretty sure it was on here a while back.

Saddo alert - purely in the interests of TPF science, I just checked mine with verniers

I can 100% confirm that MT Permashape is definitely 0.7mm

Don't shoot the messenger!
