I got sucked into that hype about a certain trowel and got one and it's b*ll***s.
Its all hype about most of these so called new tools.
Don't think so Danny,,,I would never have considered anything but mt trowels until I joined forum..done that trying trowels years ago.

the mt with gold trim is a gold back, when it was new the blade had a gold tinge to it.
the one with black trim is a basic stainless blade.
your dads duraflex is the basic type.
in the states about £30 in uk about £100

My trowel with the gold trim on the handle never had the gold tinge to the blade. I've had a shot of my dads and there's something not quite right about, feels a bit chunky or something

Like the look of the blue steel mts,, but most reference to them is concrete trowel.

most mt trowels are concrete finishing trowels, not a plastering trowel

I prefer the MT Extralite not the preworn shite with gold bits on the handles!!! Yes they take time to break in but when you have they are the best on the planet by far !! No good for lads who just skim all day but lads who do a fair bit of sand cement these trowels are the best.
I rest my case your honour

the basic duraflex has the basic marshalltown handle the durasoft with black trim.
the duraflex premier has a wooden handle, all have the word duraflex printed on them.
there are 4 types of duraflex trowel in each size. the basic comes with a long tang or a short tang, the premier also with long tang or short tang. the short will give you more flex then the long tang. so there is a trowel to suite everyone.

I wouldnt say its hype... innovation is important for any industry... going back to basics is a refreshing way to reset and remind you of what the job is all about...
Be carefull what you wish for, this is what I got to review off @Plasterers1StopShop and my Christmas present off @Danny for not last Christmas (I got fuckall) the Christmas before, but in April, which was out of date. Both F*****g useless and that's my review

Dot forget the monstrous hamper the year before
yes, that is the short tang version, more flexible, a few pound cheaper.

Do you know anywhere that sells them been on that Rollins and there not there ,amazon sold out, wanted one for a while but just can't find them on internet.
Another trowel ? Lol come on if your getting a good finish why change it or mess about? I understand we all want to improve and get faster but another trowel the same size as the one your using is going backwards? Fair enough if your a geek and love tools (just to add I treat some of my tools like family) that's fine but please start a YouTube channel xx

Think they look nice not seen anyone even put a review about them and I need a new mt,
This will make you laugh I was thinking of trying a 20 inch trowel,serious.
Why do you go through so many trowels? I've had three trowels in ten years and had two handboards in 27 years lolThink they look nice not seen anyone even put a review about them and I need a new mt,
This will make you laugh I was thinking of trying a 20 inch trowel,serious.
there are a few on amazon .com [usa] and amazon canada. but read the advert as some have photos then state out of stock. some duraflexs are listed as galvanized blade i presume this is stainless steel.
if you purchase outside EEC you may get a extra hit, import duty 10%, 20%vat and a £10 charge from the postoffice for collecting your payment.

I used to think the mt the longer you had them the better but personally don't think that is true (for me anyway) I like the mt newer and not so worn in (especially the permashpe I think after a couple off years isn't as nice as a newish one).
Maybe I'm just a weirdo.
A lot will say the longer the better and better worn in etc with a trowel,think it's a load of rubbish my oldest mt was crap compared to new permashape after 6 months

one of my sons has the 24 inch mt, and i have heard the word that flynnymans wife purchased one for him a while back !
Oh yeh that big mother f**k*r lol it's in the van I see it every day and have thought of giving it another go
and a lesson in don't buy things when your wrecked lolGot most,
But where do you get a curry trowel from?
Only one expensive seller on eBay that does a few. Roxy*
And which type do you rate?

I've yet to see a marshalltown at £100. And if there is, it's a rip off, with bad marketing...as no one seems to have them.
have a look at amazon uk, marshalltown premier duraflex.
