Hand Problems

[Danny]

I have read a lot on here about hand problems...

My tip would be to keep your hands dry so you dont need to grip so hard on the trowel... amazing the difference that would make

Steel grip with hurty thumbs and knees ! That's what I get for grafting for years instead of concentrating on being a prem footy diva or pop star money for nothing merchant or an mp !

Wooden handle and don’t sand it down, thin handles cause cramp and rubber handles squash down so they are to thin

Used to able to get “ gorilla grips”, or somesuch.......I used sticky bandage stuff from a chemists......worked fine.

no just I now keep my hands dry and that means I dont need to grip as hard

I've never really considered that I grip the trowel very tightly, even when troweling up. You only have to see the state of some spreads handles to know they're gripping as tight as they can.

Seen as everyone else is an inventor on here, thought I may as well show my new invention I’ve been working on...trowel handle grip. Also gives you extra time by helps delaying your set.

Yeah. Keep hands dry and deffo clean...nowt worse than gear on your handle.

 

[Lastlaff]

Don’t mess around with the cheap crap ones - these are the bad boy rubber gloves, cotton lined for comfort and stops your hand sweating. Had them on for screeding today - not a bit of hand irritation and you don’t have to hold the rule so hard as your hand grips the rule lighter. Any hollows, throw a bit of gear in and your hands got protection from cement burns etc.

Totally agree was just about to say the same all mine are wood except a nela carbon I use that’s the corky one and is quite nice a lot better than rubber

sticky bandage off ebay I use..5m x 25mm and 50mm wide stuff. Vaseline is best put on at night. Put sock over to stop the stuff getting everywhere as takes ages to get in skin. It's known to be the best and cheap.
