REFINA PLAZIFLEX Plastering Trowel -14" x 5.5" (350mm x 140mm) 1mm Foam Backed Plaster Trowel - Lightweight Interchangeable Plastering Tools for Gypsum Plaster & Skim Coat

I got this because I’m carpenter/builder and plastering comes as part of my contracts a fair bit. In the last couple of years I’ve really suffered with tennis elbow and tendinitis in my shoulder and the pain at work is pretty severe at times. Plastering is one of the things that really aggravates arm and shoulder injuries so with that in mind I’d seen that this trowel was designed to make the task easier. Well I have admit I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it turned out to be. Plastering has gone from a task I dread doing to something that is at worst mildly uncomfortable. If you can already plaster then using this is an absolute doddle and the top coat is effortlessly flat, level and consistent. The blade is very fragile and can pick up scratches easily but once is worn in, as with a traditional trowel, it’s great. Value wise it’s priced similarly to a mid range from anywhere else but for me the value was in not being in pain anymore. Handle is comfortable, well designed, well built and very lightweight. If you are a tradesman and you have any elbow or shoulder injuries and struggle with a traditional trowel this is a must for your tool bag.

I have. Afew of these they really help get that shine if that's what you are looking for .

This is the best trowel I've ever used .I've been plastering for 20 years I was considering buying one if these for over a year but thought they were a gimmickBut to my surprise it is a brilliant tool and use it always for troweling out.Leaves a fantastic finish and is very light so not so much strain on shoulder or elbow joints👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Fantastic trowel I've been plastering for 46 years this trowel makes troweling very easy and provides a perfect Finnish wish they had been around when I started all those years ago 😀

Fantastic tool to have in your tool bag, feels great to use and glides along the skim. Watch out around skim bead as trowel is very delicate and will get nicks in it. Overall when used properly can get a top Finish.

I use this daily to finish and flatten my work it has revolutionised my plastering much less work for my shoulder and elbow and doesn't cause bubbling.

I had to patch up a curved piece of ceiling. I am not an accomplished plasterer but managed a decent job with the aid of this. The flexibility of the blade is a real help on curved surfaces. It is not cheap but still much cheaper and easier than getting someone in to do it. Very glad I invested in it.

great thank you.
