I finally ditched my old trowel after 8 years

Was at a job site in Austin last month and borrowed a guy's Marshalltown trowel for a few minutes. The way it balanced in my hand made me realize how worn down my old one was. I went and bought one that same afternoon and my speed picked up by at least 15% on the next wall. Anyone else stick with a tool way longer than they should have?

Is it weird how attached we get to old tools?

Still got a wrench from 1985 that I refuse to replace because it remembers my better handiwork.

Old tools just hold memories no new one can touch.
