Hawk

The ramboo is very similar to the ox. It's aluminium, will bend eventually. But the mtown one I had was. Literally banana's after less than 2weeks and seen no abuse bar what it was supposedly designed for, holding hawkfuls of stuff. Pure utter shite, never again. I will get a Magnesium one again at some stage likely, depends how long this one lasts as I could buy 4 for price 1 magnesium. Lol

Calm down Hector, it's a hawk. It's been called a hawk since they were first used, check any old plasterer books. So called because they are held just as a falconer holds his hawks or falcons.

A handboard, as used originally, didn't have a handle. Some bright spark down in Essex thought that it would be a good idea to put a handle in the centre of the board to make handling less stressful on the wrist. Because it sat nicely on the hand it was given the monica 'hawk'.
Because northerners, particularly those from Yorkshire, can't stand the thought that they didn't come up with the idea they refused to adopt the correct name even though they used the new, improved tool.
