Scoop

A cheaper alternative to refina

 

[Pug]

Have you tried it Gary? Says it's plastic. Not sure how long it'd last?

 

[Gibbo]

No mate i use a board and stand in fact i use two but as long as you don't start hammering nails with it i would say it would be ok

 

[Dr.B]

I got one of those the other day, it's a bit flexible not sure how long it will last but ive used it to scoop skimm and hp12 so far and it is still alive so far!

a plasterer brought 2 scoops of different sizes back from Germany for me. they are metal with a hook on the back of the handle so that you can clip them onto the bucket. they have a notched front end to dig into heavy materials.

 

[Builderboi]

You could buy 6 of these for the price of the refina

 

[Cornelius]

The Refina one is unbreakable a very good investment.

it's a case of buy cheap buy twice those plastic ones are sh!t and cheap for a reason.
the refina ones will last forever so if you divide what they cost by forever the refina scoop actually works out practically free.
screw a bit of bent wall plate strap to the back about a 1/3 of the way up the tube to hang it on the edge of the bucket and the jobs a good un.

looks good, what did you make it out of? I tried using a plastic can, but it wasn't thick enough and went all flimsy on me.

I bought one a few weeks back
Use it to scoop texture out of tubs
Not sure about skim mind

Just an old bolt rack box, and shaped to fit the side of a bucket

My mate was pissing himself all day in the other room years back, I thought the new labourer seems to be working out . Only to find he had been using my twitcher to scoop the gear and scrape the bottom of the buckets
