Refina trowels help

[craigEEE]

Not had a new trowel for ages so had a look on refina site, currently using a s*p*r*lex but it's had better days but now they do a finaflex (is this just a solid Marshall town premium style?) And a s*p*r*lex 2, any advice in which is best to go for?


Thanks

Nela. Or look at the tyzack thread. Loads of opinions.

Refina Super 2 is decent, slightly less flex than Nelaflex. Buy a few options and try them out, you can never have too many weapons in your arsenal imo

I have the stainless versions but one spring steel (as it was called when I bought it donkeys ago) none of them "pre worn" take a good spell to break in but once you have. defo the best trowels on the planet

Yeah mate, I like Nela and Refina but 14" MT Gold Permashape is what I`d go for if I could only pick one trowel

Dug mine out of the garage and used it for the first time in a few years - it's got a connection with the gear that is so smooth. To keep in tip-top nick, a squirt of WD40 and a quick rub with a sanding block...seams to give it a protective layer.

That would be OK for going over floaTed work but would you use that size on ceilings and board work?
