The Marshalltown 34 Series Wide London pattern brick trowel is designed for masons seeking a durable and comfortable tool for laying bricks and applying mortar. Its key benefit is the balance of strength and flexibility provided by its high-carbon steel blade and ergonomic leather handle, ensuring control and reducing fatigue. A potential caveat is that its wider blade profile, while excellent for carrying more mortar, may require a slight adjustment for very detailed or intricate brickwork compared to narrower trowels.

The Wide London pattern has a rounded heel that allows it to carry more mortar forward on the blade, making it efficient for spreading consistent mortar lines.
Yes, the balanced design and comfortable handle make it a good choice for beginners and experienced masons alike. Its predictable performance aids learning.
The leather handle benefits from being kept clean and dry. Periodically, you can apply a leather conditioner to keep it supple, especially if stored for long periods.
While primarily designed for bricklaying and mortar, it can be used for small concrete finishing tasks where a flat, broad tool is beneficial, though specialized concrete tools are recommended for larger jobs.
Taper ground means the blade gradually becomes thinner from the heel to the tip. This provides flexibility for maneuvering and control while maintaining strength.
High-carbon steel is known for its strength and ability to hold an edge. When properly cared for, it provides excellent durability and resistance to wear.
This Marshalltown 34 Series trowel has a blade size of 300 x 145mm, which is equivalent to 12 x 5 3/4 inches.
Ensure the blade is clean and dry. A polished blade releases mortar more easily. For stubborn mortar, a gentle scraping with a putty knife may be needed, followed by thorough cleaning and drying.
The taper ground blade is designed for a specific balance. If it feels incorrect, ensure you are using the appropriate amount of pressure for the task. Extreme bending or flexing beyond normal use could indicate damage.
The leather handle is designed to conform to the hand with use. If it feels slippery, ensure your hands are not excessively sweaty or wet. If it feels stiff, continued use will typically soften it. Avoid getting excessive water on the leather handle.
This indicates the blade was not properly dried or stored. Clean the rust spots with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool, then clean and dry the blade thoroughly. Apply a light coat of oil for protection.
Setup: This trowel requires no setup out of the box. It is ready for immediate use.
Compatibility: Compatible with all standard mortar mixes and bricklaying applications. Its primary function is for manual mortar application and brick placement.
