Default trowhawk

tried the new bucket trowel today called the trowhawk as seen on you tube,used it on a couple of confined spaces stairs landing ceiling etc,much better than traditional square bucket trowel as firstly removes everything from bucket esp bits of gear thats left in bottom thats hard to get with normal bucket trowel thats square.well this ones rounded off and gets everything from bucket,used it as it shows straight out of bucket load trowel and spread.great on tight areas where handboard a pain.have seen spreads abroad use same idea loading there trowels of a brickys trowel.have used normal bucket trowel for loading trowel when doing marble work before.difference been these are larger than bucket trowels.and fil more off the trowel,think it may sell well even in the tiling side of things loading trowels gauging materials etc.labourer certainly loved it and left less in the bucket after each gauge.not bad for free when i only rang manufacturers to ask for stockist he sent me one for free even thow i was prepared to pay.certainly place for it in my tool bag and impressed with guy that sent it not many firms will do that.
