WHS Trowels - RESULT!! - troll - 6th February 2006
Guess who`s been playing wiv the new trowel then? Yep. Looks and feels like the real jobby.Trowels luvverly, nice cutting edge-can lift a Renault Laguna wiv one. Looks and plays just like the old one.Comments from the trench included;
"thats the canines testes.....finally!....glad its not one of them- there ann summers versions..."
One point raised by the ladies:
In extending the shaft to reduce knuckle injuries-excuse me a second...
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Thats better. The longer shaft has made it near-impossible for those with smaller hands to trowel with their forefinger resting on the blade edge.Apparently-some people trowel like this.Fair nuff.Honestly-I don`t think the longer shaft protects the knuckles.
Will pass trowel around and get back to you with more opinions but for me-thank you! Feels very much like the real thing.Thumbs up so far!

We have been running field tests with the new WHS trowel, an old style mint condition WHS trowel (or at least it was) and the "Battiferro di Maniago" Italian trowel - so far the Battiferro is easily the most popular, most comments on the new WHS are that while the blade has improved the long shank still makes it unwieldy - now if they would just cut it down a bit they might be on to a winner - in the meantime I'll settle for the Italian Job

have to confess that the long shank meant less skinning knucks!
Another day another WSI?
