WHS Trowels - trowelmonkey - 17th October 2008 Windbag, you have my vote! WHS Trowels - Sparky - 17th October 2008 Wands for Heritage Sorcerers (interchangeable with Solutions) WHS Trowels - mercenary - 18th October 2008 Quote:quote:Mashalltown as well as WHS went through a process of "redevelopment", original type Marshalltown trowels are às good as they ever were. wooden handled Marshalltowns are as good as original pattern WHS trowels. The original WHS trowel is fantastic for "stoney" ground, the Marshalltown is ideal for "sandy" ground and another option is the German "Jaeterhand" (kratzer) for ripping vertical sections. The WHS much beloved of Brit archaeologists is a fantastic tool but has very definite limitations, I've noted with some amusement the jingoistic attachment of Bajrites to the WHS trowel, come on folks; drop the nationalistic parochialism and consider the possibility that the rest of the world may have something to offer, (tool technology is only the start). Austin, The topic is about promoting WHS trowels, and one of oft noted advantages of WHS over Marshalltown(on this website) is the snap factor. I have evangelized for years about the beautiful and useful Marshalltown, (I'm on only my second in 15 years; they REALLY last), and am mightily amused to be called jingoistic and parochial.
