FAQs

What is the primary use of this brick trowel?

This trowel is designed for levelling, spreading, and shaping mortar or cement in bricklaying and masonry work.

What makes the blade material special?

The blade is solid forged from one-piece chrome vanadium steel, which is taper ground for strength and flexibility, offering superior durability and performance.

How does the handle design benefit the user?

The high lift soft grip handle provides a superior, comfortable grip, reduces fatigue, and offers ample knuckle clearance for better control and protection.

Can the handle end be used for anything?

Yes, the heavy-duty end cap is designed to withstand continuous use when tapping bricks into place, allowing for adjustments without damaging the handle.

What is the warranty period for this trowel?

The Faithfull Prestige range, including this brick trowel, is covered by a 10-year guarantee.

Is this trowel suitable for beginners?

While a professional-grade tool, its comfortable grip and balance make it manageable for experienced DIYers. Beginners may find smaller, lighter trowels easier to start with.

How should I maintain the trowel for longevity?

Clean off all mortar residue after use, dry the blade thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Light oiling before storage can prevent rust.

Troubleshooting

Mortar sticking excessively to the blade

Ensure the blade is clean and smooth. Lightly oiling the blade before use can sometimes help, but ensure oil does not contaminate your mortar mix.

Handle feels loose

Check that the blade is securely attached to the handle. If it remains loose, cease use and contact the retailer or manufacturer regarding the guarantee.

Blade edge is chipped or damaged

Minor imperfections might be gently filed down. Significant damage may compromise performance and safety; consider replacing the trowel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This trowel requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.

Compatibility: Suitable for use with cement, mortar, plaster, and other similar building compounds.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, clean the blade thoroughly with water and a stiff brush to remove all residue. Avoid using harsh solvents.
  2. Drying: Dry the blade completely with a clean cloth before storing to prevent rust.
