John,

Depends on what areas you normally have to work on.

I have a 600mm which I find is a good allrounder for domestics and I use this on the pole for ceilings also.

I also have the 1800mm good for big plasterboard walls though personally I find it cumbersome on the pole attachment.

If your not in a rush to buy welcome to borrow mine 1 weekend/week and decide if there for you or not!

Tend to be a Marmite tool tbh

Agree with above. 600mm is spot on

600 for domestics it's what I use I think they released a 800/900 which would be a bit better for my work

I'm sure I can mend it pal on my oil stone!

Render jobs a nice thin coat job so all spats,sponge float & plastic float work on silicone!
