Product Information

Full details

The Bon Tool Blue Steel Midget Trowel is an essential instrument for professional masons, tile setters, and concrete finishers who require precision in tight or restricted spaces. Its primary benefit lies in the premium-ground blue steel blade that provides a smooth, professional finish on mortar or concrete surfaces. While it excels at detailed work, its small 8" x 3" size makes it unsuitable for large-scale slab work or broad surface leveling.

FAQs

What is the primary material of the blade?

The blade is constructed from premium-ground blue steel, chosen for its flexibility and ability to hold a sharp edge.

Can I use this trowel for large concrete slabs?

No, this trowel is specifically designed as a 'midget' or detail tool and lacks the surface area required for large-scale concrete finishing.

How do I best store this tool?

Store in a dry, cool place. Ensure the tool is completely dry before storage, and keep it away from corrosive chemicals.

Is the handle replaceable?

The handle is designed for professional use, but typical maintenance involves keeping the wood treated. If the handle becomes damaged, check with the manufacturer for compatible repair parts.

Is the blue steel blade flexible?

Yes, the blade provides a degree of flex that is ideal for applying pressure and creating smooth, consistent finishes in tight spots.

Troubleshooting

Surface rust appearing on the blade

Use a fine-grit sanding block or steel wool to gently remove rust, then wipe clean and apply a thin layer of machine oil.

Handle feeling loose

Check the tang connection at the base of the handle; if loose, inspect the fasteners or hardware for damage and tighten securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This trowel arrives ready for immediate use. To maintain the tool: 1. Clean the blade thoroughly with water and a scrub brush after every use to prevent material buildup. 2. Dry the blue steel thoroughly to prevent rust. 3. Periodically apply a light coating of mineral oil to the blade to maintain the steel's finish and prevent surface corrosion. 4. Inspect the wood handle for splinters; if the wood feels dry, apply a small amount of wood preservative or linseed oil to keep it comfortable for long-term use.
