It's been a while, Ox speedskim question.

[DannyMac]

Ages since I've been on here so hello again.

Had a plastic bladed speedskim for probably 8 years and the blade is battered now. Ox have now taken them over, I'm wanting to know if the new model speedskims fit into the old plastic holders for doing ceilings? TIA

Also where can I buy the plastic trowels with wooden handles, think they're called spanish trowels. 11" I think.

 

[The Apprentice]

The newer handles have got holes on either side on the metal but the earlier ones only have 1

Saw this, are they as rigid as the older ones? There's 2 different types.

Ha, I have. Just didn't know if I needed to buy the new plastic clamp with it. You're right though, I hate buying tackle. Funnily enough I didn't pay for the last ones either, I won them playing an online Christmas pool comp on this forum about 8 years ago
Half the stuff in my van is probably older than a lot of the plasterers on here!

I look for reasons to buy new tools, I love it. I bought a pair of dewalt tape measures because the black and yellow Stanley ones I had didnt match the black and yellow dewalt power tools I have.

I'm sure one of our ginger members will be along soon, to offer you some 'only-lightly-soiled' speedskims/trowels/MakeGood plaster, at a knock-down rate

From the ebay listing:

"As well as guaranteeing a flawless polished finish they are good for refurb work, where the walls aren't flat, as they bend with the wall to ensure a good finish."
