Is this New Plastic Trowel A Game Changer?

[GrantyBoy]

My 9 year old stainless MT fell off a scaffold a couple of weeks ago and cracked, I was devasted.

Ordered a leather handled refina plastercraft and I am very impressed with it.

I'm no expert you understand, but that definitely looks like a trowel to me. It's the flat bit with a handle on that gives it away.

@Plasterers1StopShop

Once the plastic has worn down does the trowel get binned or can you get replacement blades like the refina ones ?

How much will they be ?

 

[flynnyman]

Trying new trowels out on people who may only touch a free trowel every time a free trowel is given to them is not the way to review a free trowel because the review will be false but good and @superspread this is not begging but a bit like begging

 

[Rossi46]

I think it'll be successful just like the rest of the Nela range. Plasterers are the easiest group of people to sell to. They're so keen on out doing each other they're falling over themselves for the next best thing to get one up.

ffs here we go again blablabla!!!

all these trowels are just FAD trowels great to break a boring day up when sat watching a 1 bag set go off whilst twiddling yer thumbs...

however in the real world when your busting your balls and catching areas seconds before there about to go off there use to nobody...

like I always say when the s**t hits the fan the trowel you need is your gold old no gimmick steel/ carbon trowel end ovvvv!!!!

I even had time to take a selfie for ya...after I had been to get me hair gel in ready for the shot

I used to use them before the plastic/skimming thing went mass produced. They're a bit hard but worked ok. Still nicked easy.

The blades won't be replaceable. We are finalising costings on the trowel.

We are confident the price will be very competitive and it won't matter it can't be replaced

 

[Plasterers1StopShop]

The trowels haven't just been given to people we know - we have given them to a range of people and others have even purchased them so we can make sure the reviews are from the 'free' and purchased spreads

Is it out in Germany or is it mainly to disigned to compete in the uk market?

 

[jamesthefirst]

Can't beat a good old carbon steel mt trowel.

Ive got the new nela carbon flexy finishing trowel for finishing and its brill....

It was my idea and I have it to Germany. They aren't available anywhere yet

 

[glen80]

What about if the blade gets damaged? Is there a replacement or do you have to keep buying new trowels!![emoji12]

You will need to buy a new one. But the cost won't be too disimilar to what a competitors replacement blade is already

Cool will give one a go if that's the case

 

[zombie]

Disagree with you there, I find the s*p*r*lex brings back a hit thats going off alot easier than a steel trowel

well il have to disagree right back at yer bud....

2 hands and pressing 17st against the F*****g wall with the aid of wet brush has got me out of shite more times than a wibbly wobbly piece of paper thin blade superglued onto a midget trowel ever will...

Cool I think they will be a good bit of kit

 

[Rossi46]

I don't know where I'm gonna put this new trowel. My garage wall is pretty full!

Good stuff,I take it the blade not being changeable will be quite strong and durable,and how flexible is it compared to the sf?

It's a very different type of FLEX to be honest. It has the flexibility but also has the firmness and strength required.

Hard to explain but easier to show if you understand what I mean

 

[Arti]

@Plasterers1StopShop just an observation ryno, but is there any point giving mouse magnet @Danny new gear to try out

 

[Garethharrison80]

Why though?? - refina blades are £12 quid each ... very much doubt the new nela will be uder £35

Cause i like the look of it + if its like the s*p*r*lex itl be well made, it prob will be more than the £12 for a refina blade but im not expecting you to buy it for me so why you bothered.

 

[Danny]

you also need to give them to people who already like plastic otherwise you are trying to convince them to like plastic first and you don't get an honest feedback from what the trowel is actually like

There is a lot of stuff I get sent which I dont like
