Crowning Glory! Trowels From Ragni Of
Italy: Specifically For The UK Market Leading Italian manufacturer, Ragni, developed the Crown range of trowels specifically for the UK market - working closely with Tools of the Trade to identify and deliver precisely the tools British tradesmen want to do the job.
More than two years of extensive end user research were invested in the development of the Ragni Crown brick trowel range. The blade, the handle, the balance, the materials, the construction: every aspect the Ragni Crown brick trowel was scrutinized and tested, on-site. The result was the introduction of a solid-forged trowel that met all the criteria demanded by British brickies: performance and strength, combined with the essential “feel-good” factor. Following the highly successful introduction of the Ragni Crown bricklayers’ trowel (both London and Philadelphia pattern), the range continues to develop based on feedback from end-users here in the UK: a 9in brick trowel has proved ideal for specialist work, while a 10in model is much appreciated by those with concerns about “tennis elbow”.
Crown gauging and pointing trowels too have followed in quick succession. Again it was Ragni’s
innovative approach to meeting market needs that led to the new 7in pointing trowel for specialist applications. A practical solution to an everyday problem has been the Ragni Crown bucket trowel featuring rounded corners for scraping mortar from a bucket - without contamination with plastic from the surface of the bucket. Two of the best selling ideas recently to emerge from the combined resources of Ragni and Tools of the Trade have been the Ragni Crown Brickies’ Pack and the Pointer/Jointer Pack. And there’s a 16in Ragni Crown cement trowel currently also in the pipeline – watch this space!

Seal Rite’s Got The Golden Touch Everbuild Building Products are pleased to announce that Seal Rite – the new sealant masking system has won a gold award in the D.I.Y Products Category at the Product of the Year Awards 2011 held at the Sheraton Park Lane Hotel in London.
The awards, hosted by DIY Week and Housewares magazine, took place on
Friday 13th May which, contrary to its reputation of being an unlucky day, proved especially lucky for Everbuild who beat stiff competition to walk away with the gold award for Seal Rite. Guests attended from across the DIY, garden and housewares sectors and the judging panel was made up of many influential figures from across these industries.
Seal Rite – the winning product - is a dispenser and micro-fine foil masking tape which enables both Tradesmen and DIY’ers to achieve a perfectly finished joint every time, without any level of skill, eliminating both mess and wastage. This new system is designed particularly with corner joints in bathroom/kitchen applications in mind, but equally it can also be used in various other areas. The unique adjustable dispenser, which has a patent pending, allows the joint width to be adjusted using the outer wheel of the product – both of these outer sides move simultaneously so that when applied the tape is positioned offset from the wall by the chosen number of millimetres. There are six joint size options ranging from 4mm to 9mm (in 1mm increments).
Once the joint size has been selected it is easy to run the dispenser down one side of the corner joint, nipping off the tape when the bottom is reached, with the handy cutting blade built into the dispenser. The same is then repeated on the adjoining wall to create the parallel lines to apply the sealant. Once this has been done, the Everbuild Smooth-Out Tool should be used to smooth down the joint before the tape is pulled off leaving The Perfect Seal Everytime.
