Wire brush in a 4-1/2" angle grinder works amazing for tools caked up with hard darbo. Doesn't make them black and rusty like the acid too.

Yo Charlie.... 4-5" angle grinder with stone blade works really well on the shovel. On the trowels use a rough sandy brick with some sand or a concrete block, if not too bult up with muck then a wire brush may be suffice. With the levels absolutely the brick acid as no rust and gets into the cracks. Love your vids bro, keep up the good work and keep up the spirit of play as this is how it should be at work! Keep the banter alive 🤪👏💪✌👊💥👍

Now they look beautiful!! Olive oil is the way forward by the looks of it👍🏽👏🏼

Have started using a flap disc on my cordless angle grinder . Trowel comes up lovely.

Really enjoyed that video.

You can get dronco 4 inch rust removal blades for your grinder. That takes rust, mortar, concrete and abrasions of trowels and shovels leaving them super shiny.

Charlie I've used an empty 25ltr drum and cut in half length ways so end up with basin and ideal for putting in a shovel and trowels at same time and can lie them flat Leave overnight will only require a brush and wash off .

Come on Charlie, you have been doing this long enough now, get a little extendable tripod with phone clip.

i would recommend that you boiled linseed oil your wooden handle on your trowel, helps it last alot longer

A steel wire cone attachment on an angle 115mm grinder is the best lb for lb. Silverline one off amazon was £3 when i bought it with the tightly wound steel wires. Silverline 868901 is the product code. £5.50 for the 65mm version which i use on trowels and shovels. Hope that helps. Thumbs up.

First whoop whoop 🙌

back in the seventies, If I let a shovel get like that, I'd have two black eyes and the price of a shovel knocked off me money on friday

Hi Charlie game changing tip for us brickie fresh pineapple rubbed on cement stained blue bricks and reds no matter how old the stain removes it instantly and for stubborn stains a light rub with sandpaper 👍👍

A old school tradesman was taught to always clean his tools at the end of the day.

Charlie have you tried the Belle Clean spray? It works well on standard concrete and cement mortar. SBR mortar and its not so keen to work!

What do you do with the waste acid? Boiled linseed for tool handles. P.S. any chance of video on how to keep mixer clean. I used to keep a pot of flints for that, and strain them out for reuse on emptying. And agree with below get a pointy ended shovel with round corners for shovelling hard stuff - got an American one of those as we don't seem to have.

Wd40 for trowel. Keep a rag soaked in it wee hand towel. In bucket or box wipe off end of day keeps trowel slick.

Just keep them clean! Then oily rag Save all that grief💭

Nice tips there thanks for sharing 👍👍🍺

Hey mate what's ya wooden handle trowel? Looks like a nice shape blade

Somebody just asked for this in your last video and here it is an hour later lol.

A brick rub is me go too Or a grinder with a flap disc very fast

What’s happened to the spears and Jackson’s wooden handle trowel?

After clean. Heat up the shovel and rub burned linseed oil on it. Good job

Needle scaller....is a handy yoke

hand size piece of thermolite block. clean them every night or in the morning

I would of stuck the grinder on the shovel first to get the bulk of the cement off and then brick acid and oil.

What was the plastic handled trowel mate?

Hi what size trowel do you use?

Is that a 11” wide London rose trowel @10.09

How may times have you lads put acid on your tools and touched your face on the way home and feel a slight burn on your chin?

Бро , пескоструйный аппарат тебе в помощь

It used to be Hydrochloric acid full strength. Now I hope its diluted some.

£600 a day. divided by 8 equals £75 hour. cost of a new spade £20. Buy a new spade

What hammer do you use

What make trowel is glass handle one and brick hammer??

Just wash them off when you’ve finished using them

Never tried brick acid, I must inquire on cost , every thing I use is covered 🙄...

Can somone let me know where to purchase the magnetic trowel holder. Can't find it anywhere

Let your tools sit in vinegar for a weekend then you can scrape the mortar off with a brush….🤷

Second

Stihl saw. Carbon blade 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

Third

Tools
