(Plastering Tool) or not......

Re: trowhawk or not......

Jimfish I have a serious question.

How did you arrive at the price for it?

I'm not saying its cheap or expensive, I just want to know if you used a formular or some sort, or did you look at similar products and pitch it in that price band, or pluck a figure out of the air?

i dont set the price thats down to the distribution network thats how far its gone these trowels are not knocked together in some back shed there made by a british manufacturing company to a good quality finish british steel rubberised handle and parts all sourced locally to me not some cheap foreign import (trowhawk)

You have a PM.

erm a shovel

been plastering for years and still calls a trowel a float one of my pet hates that a deffo no no no

what do you call a shovel then lol

 

[rockhardsolidplastering]

Re: trowhawk or not......

jim a float is a float not a trowel and a trowel is not a float its a trowel not one single plasterer ever calls them what you call them hence a plasterer you cannot be end of

Re: trowhawk or not......

jim if you have been a plasterer for years why did you design a product for plastering that is not stainless and will rust very quickly, surely thats a big flaw in the design

[beddy]

Re: trowhawk or not......

well jims isnt, and it is...its both. but whats stopping somebody just designing a big bucket trowel? surely theres no way of patenting that

well how i see it mine is not a hawk, its stainless steel and its gonna be half the price, i am making mine abroad and importing them so unless you have a patent in china you wont have a leg to stand on plus if you sue me it will do us both a favour coz its all advertizing.

haha i would bet my house on it mucka, you dont really think that a worldwide company like refina wouldn't have thought about something like this before joe public decided to make one and shut the door on the idea. hahaha you are more niave than i originlly thought.


can just see it on news at 10

worldwide company "refina" go bust after losing court battle to a "mister jimfish"

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

[jimfish]

Re: trowhawk or not......

jim can you answer me a question, what does this trowhawk do that a harling trowel or a large bucket trowel wouldnt? im not bitching just curious

Glad you have asked that question it has a flat unobstructed plate attached to a handle which is riveted to the underside hence allowing a floating trowel to pass across the surface smoothly that means a large bucket trowel has the handle welded to the top surface so its not flat hence no smooth transfer harling trowel the same bent in the middle square front edge and a lip on the back edge hope this has answered your question trowhawk

jim bloody hell open your eyes they don't make one because there's no market for it surely you can see my point, you don't honestly think you have designed something that all the refina/other manufacturers haven't thought of.

[/quote]well i have and whats makes it different to any other trowel out there is this the tang and handle are riveted to the underside of the plate check out any other trowel the handle and tang are welded to the top surface so i can take your views onboard then forget about them and as for there not being a market for it get real its already out there you are entitled to your opinions same as me and everyone else so carry on with your negative responses why knock something you obviously havent tried or used.trowhawk

 

[simplybesty]

Re: trowhawk or not......

Look mate, i take my hat off to you and like i said i hope you do well but market research is so important and a forum like this where spreads can say if they would use it and the main answer is no. I just wouldn't want to see anyone loose there shirt on something that don't sell in the numbers to make a return on the investment. A would wide patient is not cheap , plus all the jig work to start the manufacturing proses .

[flynnyman]

Re: trowhawk or not......

Im pretty sure you cant get a world wide patent maybe patents in different countries but times how many countries by patent search blaa blaa its not feasable on a product like this, jim i havent given your product any negative feedback just my opinion which you dont like which you find negative.
