    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 🤪👏💪✌👊💥👍

      Takes a few seconds to clean your trowel or shovel with a stiff brush & a rag before the gobbo sets, no excuse for letting them get in that state. Ever.

    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.

    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 .

    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.
