That's why I tried it like that mate, the larger plaziflex was to flexable the trowel only touched 1 3rd of the trowel face a waste of time, plus fed up with having to wet and dry it. Same here have the speed skim to flatten with thought having a handle would be good, as the speed skim has a proven blade. So come on SPEEDSKIM.......make a trowel version lol.

Seriously like that badgerrr and agree I do like speed skim handle they have but when I do walls with 600 sometimes I tend to grip the pole attachment which I leave on..think its probably habit from using a trowel for so long.but like ya say I wonder if @Speedskim has thought about some kind of handle attachment.

get a second pole attachment and then cut poles down to handle size and have one at each end.

I use a deluxe extension pole (a bit pricey but absolutely solid) on ceilings but on walls I kind of flip from gripping the speed skim handle to gripping the attachment which I leave on my 600,this grip you found has just made the wall flat and finish so much better been looking for one this small for a while,made my day,I will still use me extension pole on the lids that's fine.
Thanks again
Vince.

Hay the sponges and rolled up cleaning clothes in my box are brilliant for cleaning windows ,Upvc,and basically any thing on domestic jobs that gets a bit plastery dirty and those big sponges clean speed skim blades quick time.
