Trowel life time

[John j]

Had a debate at work other day on life time of a trowel . Just interior we decided bout 7 to 10 years .
What you all think . Just planning my retirement sonhaving a clear out but want to keep enough to see me out .

You may be right but... You drop one and its wrecked or they get stolen? Never can have enough trowels. Always a couple that are broken in.

Stainless should last a lifetime....

As it is a strong metal and does not wear as well well as carbon..

Morning all. For carbon trowel house keeping - I use this stuff, unlike WD40 which stays greasy, this drys in seconds for rust prevention.
