How Big Is Your Trowel

[@Dipzee]

Yo that young lad pointing is doing that as some serious speed! Haha fair play

[@sbtoolsuk4801]

We find 9" trowels are becoming a lot more popular now. 1911d still the most popular trowel mainly due to the anount of retailers stocking this trowel. We try and stock every single size of Marshalltown, W Rose, Bon and Tyzack where possible. Narrow 9's Wide London 10.5s and even the Tile setter 7" trowel are selling quite often at the moment..

As social media and bricklaying content in general grows I think bricklayers are trying more and more new products and techniques. It’s great for our industry 👍🏻

[@kpdeerleap]

Just bought one well pleased with it on a lot of lime work at the moment so I’ve found it perfect

[@benfeeney3628]

[@IdealConstructionRyanWalden]

[@johnbuist5289]

[@danfenton89]

Marshalltown all day long for me , good video mate 🧱👌

[@nickgroocock4087]

How do you lay blocks with a 9inch trowel for smearing the back

[@Tone_Team]

I was laying bricks 🧱 😂

I'm on the Hod, working towards being a improver when I get loaded out ahead. Made a massive difference for me using a narrow to a wide heel, So much easier on my forearms / elbows

[@Tone_Team]

I will be issuing our apprentices a slightly smaller trowel going forward. Much easier for them to learn and master

[@Dipzee]

19-10. Wont ever go larger as I get older may go down 😂

[@andrewmcleister974]

Ive been building for 40 years so far,i always use the 19/11 marshalltown

[@Tone_Team]

I have always used the exact same trowel as yourself but so glad I tired something different. Going to give a WH Rose a spin next

[@andrewmcleister974]

@Tone_Team I tried rose but left me with a sore wrist,the lift isn't so good,I must say but,if I had to change from marshalltown, I would use the 10 inch tzyack,I use them sometimes, I think there a great trowel.

[@Tone_Team]

@@andrewmcleister974 👍🏻I will look at maybe doing a review on the Tzyack, they look decent

[@lmilne4859]

W Rose are king. Just what suits person tho.🤟

[@63flight]

Always used Rose, top notch. 👍@@Tone_Team

[@brickbybric]

Bon tools u.s.a ,keystone forged range of trowels ( which is what you have ) are excellent trowels . They are made for Bon tools in Slovenia by ab tokos doo .

[@ffleeney8507]

How is the little bon trowel fairing out?

[@alternativeopinion310]

Are you really posting work vids on sunday😂

[@Tone_Team]

I upload them and set them to go live at a certain time and day 👍🏻

[@Liam-wd9qz]

[@nickgroocock4087]

What is the point of buying a 9 inch trowel, in 4 months you need another if you can put um in .11 in get a year out of a trowel

[@Tone_Team]

Because you can’t buy new elbows, wrists or hands. Look after your body, an extra trowel a year is nothing compared to arthritis

[@hayyoujimmy8560]

Problem with small trowels kits in scotland 50 mil cavity 9inch to small to clean snotts building block work wouldn't waste my money on them

[@Tone_Team]

Cavities in England are a minimum of 100mm, likely to increase to 150mm due to Part L changes. If insualtion is used then there must a a minimum clear cavity of 50mm.

[@hayyoujimmy8560]

Most your house are traditional down there it use to be traditional up here until early 2000 then they went kit daft me personally traditional is the way to build houses not a timber frame

[@Tone_Team]

@@hayyoujimmy8560 I hate timber frame, unfortunately I think due to the changes with Part L more and more developers will be going down timber frame or modular route! Good for scaffolding but bad for Brickies

[@StephenCordella]

You ever use an RW Rose ? r w rore

[@Tone_Team]

Use what ever you like mate

[@masteryoda5503]

That’s a baby trowel

[@Tone_Team]

I have little hands

[@bigdusty1705]

don't buy bon my one has snapped a bit off where you tap for half a brick shit metal

[@Tone_Team]

Seemed good quality to me but only used for a few hours so we will see how it holds up are a few runs

[@lmilne4859]

Best metal are the W rose trowels more so if get a more ridged blade as to the limber style they have as option also.

[@andrewmorrissey8478]

@@lmilne4859do w rose make a higher lift trowel ?, I’d love to buy one but so many people give out about the lift

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

Bon do two quality of trowel, Keystone being the best maybe you had the cheaper version ?

[@brickbybric]

⁠​⁠@@andrewmorrissey8478Andrew w.rose make 2 types of trowel ( at least they used to ) the low lift shank trowels are not in there latest catalogue. They make what they call a standard shank trowel and a low lift shank trowel . The term low lift shank and standard shank in relation to there trowels is not referring to the angle of the handle in relation to the trowel blade but rather the height of the shank . ( upright piece of metal between the heel of the trowel and the metal ferrule in say a wood Handle trowel( what we call the tang of the trowel ) . To answer your question, a lot of the standard shank w.rose trowels have a very high handle angle in relation to the blade and some have a very low handle angle in relation to the blade . I had one and the handle was near enough parallel to the blade . The only way, unless your very lucky is to go to a tool store like sb tools or speedcrete and go through what they have to find one you like. But you’ll have to go to England for that . How did those Lidl mortar tubs work out for you .
