Plastering trowel

[Phoebe123]

Hi all,
looking for some advice really, I've always done skimming work with a steel trowel but unfortunately broke it yesterday. I need a new one and I was wondering if there are any stainless trowels out there that are more like steel ones? I used a stainless marshalltown one a few years ago and didn't get on because it didn't feel firm enough. The reason I'm asking is because I like the look of a 15 inch refina stàinless one with the obvious benifits of not having to maintain as much as a carbon steel one . The one I broke was a 16x5 marshalltown carbon steel trowel.
Any advice would be great thanks

I use a Refina Leather handled trowel .... best trowel ive had to be fair ... wouldn't use anything else now but I love Refina gear so im just biased no doubt :RpS_lol:

The plastercraft premium trowel by refina looks good but not sure how rigid it is.

If your picky you will probably want to hold the trowel before buying it.
Buying online is great if you already know what your buying.
l personally use marshalltown refina and nela trowels and they all differ in blade flex and feel.
