FAQs
What is the primary use of this trowel?
It is designed to create rounded, smooth edges on concrete steps and verges.
Is the blade made of carbon steel or stainless steel?
It is made of high-quality stainless steel, which offers better resistance to rust.
Does this tool come with a warranty?
Yes, it includes a 10-year guarantee under the Faithfull Prestige line.
Can I use this for smoothing large flat surfaces?
No, the curved design makes it unsuitable for large flat surfaces; use a standard flat trowel for those tasks.
How do I clean the soft-grip handle?
Wipe it down with a damp cloth; avoid harsh solvents that could degrade the grip material.
Troubleshooting
Mortar sticking to the blade
Keep the blade clean and slightly damp during use to prevent buildup.
Rough finish on the edge
Ensure the concrete is at the correct level of plasticity; if it is too dry, the trowel cannot smooth the edge effectively.
Handle feeling loose
Check the rivets for any signs of vibration damage; if found, contact the manufacturer as part of the 10-year guarantee.

- Lightweight build prevents user fatigue
- Long-term reliability backed by a 10-year guarantee

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup for this tool; it is ready to use straight out of the box. To maintain the tool, always rinse the blade thoroughly with water immediately after each use to prevent mortar from hardening on the stainless steel surface. Even though it is stainless steel, drying the blade with a soft cloth before storage will protect the finish. Store the trowel in a dry environment to ensure the longevity of the handle's soft-grip coating. While compatible with most standard concrete mixtures, avoid using it to scrape dried, cured concrete, as this can damage the trowel's refined radius edge.
