First, why would you want to trade out the handle? 46 years of laying and Rose was always the best choice back in the day but the Marshalltown has pretty much gone to the top of the list for comfort, durability and cost. To be honest I've never seen a Marshalltown handle ever break or needed to be replaced. Wore the blade out on a few. And as far as that horse shit way you put that replacement handle on, you drop it into a pot of water you've brought to a boil and when it gets pliable you just push the shank in and give it a quarter turn. Got to teach these kids everything.

I had a leather handle W.rose that I changed to a plastic handle. I had to cut the old leather handle with a grinder. Heat up the plastic handle and push it through the trowel. Came out nice. Couple months later i accidentally dropped it in a 1 story brick wall. Didn’t bother getting it. Still missed the trowel still lol.

Try warming up the handle goes on a lot easier

I tried doing this earlier, cracked the handle about 2mm in, Any tips as I’ve had to order another one.

Can you put a durasoft handle back on does anyone know ?

Why would the handle matter?
So much that you would like to change it. This is a legitimate question to help me understand.

Firstly I’ve no idea why you’d change from a durasoft handle to that thing you’ve put on, I’ve used Marshalltown with that handle since about 89ish, no complaints here. I’ve retired now thankfully and I still don’t like that London pattern trowel, Philadelphia all day long for me.

He's lucky the handle didn't crack. Also no way u just hammer that durasoft handle just off. Tried it once, needed a grinder to get it off.

You just need to boil the need handle, slide it on easily and let it cool. No glue and is the proper way
