Didn't get on with it personally. Found it left lines down both edges but maybe I just got a bad one

I'd be interested in knowing how you get on with the Ox over the next week or so as been toying with buying 14" at toolstation as it's a good price compared with HuwsGray.

I have recently gone back to ox ultraflex as developed tennis elbow again and I can say they are the best trowels next to MT for last two passes.. (in the right hands of course)

You need to push on the corners to create a natural curve.. also lean on one side of the blade.. when you get the hang of it and they are sharp.. they are the best and only flexis I rely on ..

Currently have optiflex but haven't used it enough yet

It is what I imagined the midiflex to be has a nice long shank and is a bit stiffer then midi but heard the refina 3 is better so God knows lol

What about the magicflex! Lidl own brand there very good apparently! A mate said.

Fair enough if you've got it nice, but I don't think you should have to start bending a new trowel though. Found the nela spot on straight out the box
