Product Information
Full details
Designed specifically for masons, plasterers, and tilers, this set of two 6-inch bucket trowels is the ideal tool for efficiently extracting materials from containers and applying them in confined spaces. The carbon steel blades excel at minimizing material waste by scraping bucket sides clean, though the 6-inch size may be slightly small for large-scale slab work or heavy-duty industrial mixing.

FAQs
Are these trowels stainless steel?
No, these are crafted from high-quality carbon steel for enhanced blade strength and durability.
Can I use these for mixing large batches?
While they are excellent for scooping, they are better suited for mixing small batches rather than large, heavy-duty quantities.
What is the blade length?
These trowels feature a 6-inch blade length, optimized for control and bucket access.
How do I prevent the handle from slipping?
The soft grip handle is designed to provide traction even when damp; keep the handle clean of excess mortar to ensure the best grip.
Does this set include a warranty?
This product follows B&Q standard retail policies; please retain your proof of purchase for any warranty-related claims.
Troubleshooting
Material build-up on blade
Immediately scrape the blade against the edge of the bucket rim while the material is still wet to prevent hardening.
Signs of surface rust
Use a fine-grit abrasive pad or wire brush to gently remove surface oxidation, then wipe with a light coat of protective oil.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality carbon steel blade ensures long-term durability
- Tapered design effectively scrapes buckets to reduce material waste
- Ergonomic soft grip handle improves comfort during prolonged use

Cons
- Not suitable for large-scale floor screeding
- Requires regular cleaning to prevent carbon steel oxidation
- Fixed 6-inch size limits reach for very deep industrial drums
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These tools require no assembly and are ready for use immediately out of the packaging. To ensure the longevity of the carbon steel blades:
- Cleaning: Always wash the blade thoroughly with clean water immediately after use. Do not allow mortar or plaster to set on the steel surface.
- Drying: Thoroughly dry the blade with a clean cloth before storage to prevent rust or oxidation.
- Storage: Store in a dry, tool-safe environment. If the trowels will be stored for an extended period, a light coating of machine oil on the blade can prevent surface corrosion.
