twozeds Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hi...wonder if any members can point me in the right direction....I want to buy a couple of construction hand tools but not just the normal ones you see at the local hardware stores. What Im after is: a full size bricklayers trowel ( not just the small pointing trowels you see everywhere).....also a decent brick hammer......and a wide masons chisel for cutting blocks etc ( only able to find the same sort of chisel, which is the thin narrow one) . Have looked in Homepro, no joy....I live in the Banglamung/Pattaya area.......many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attrayant Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I searched for "brick hammer" on Lazada and got several ... hits. Also several showing up on eBay with the sellers in China or HK, so the shipping will be free or low. When I need something specific I don't even bother driving around as I know it won't be worth my time - even when I'm pretty sure HomePro will have it. Order it online and be done with it.

Fruit Trader Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 The old Brit who laid our work shed blocks had his friend bring over a trowel and line corners as I could not find exactly what he requested here. Good bricklayers are fussy about tools. The blade is 300mm long locals think its a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attrayant Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 That looks like something you could get machined. A flat, roughly diamond-shaped blade with a simple handle welded on. Lots of Thai woodworkers make knife handles, so I'm sure they could make a handle for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pogust Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Do not think you find it in Thailand, they use mostly small flimsy things here. Same with a proper hammer, preferably buy it in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David B in Thailand Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 from time to time I buy concrete working tools, including a bull float from Thai Trowel. They will mail anywhere in Thailand for a fee. http://www.thaitrowel.com/new_version/product.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfaboy Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Another option, but maybe a bit late. Suggest to contact Ruangsaithai in Buriram (https://burirambuildersmerchants.com/). If they don 't sell it you can forget it everywhere.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
