This Marshalltown Pool Trowel is designed for professionals and DIYers working on concrete pool surfaces. Its primary benefit is the flexible 20" x 5" blued steel blade, which easily conforms to curved or radiused surfaces, ensuring a smooth finish. A potential caveat is its specific application; while versatile for curves, it may not be the optimal choice for entirely flat, large areas where a stiffer, wider trowel might be preferred. Key features include a durable blued steel blade, a comfortable shaped wooden handle, and a lightweight design for extended use.

The blued steel blade offers durability and the specific flexibility required to conform to curved surfaces, which is crucial for pool troweling.
Clean the blade after every use, dry it completely, and store it in a dry place. Applying a light oil can provide additional rust protection.
While it can be used on flat surfaces, its design with a flexible blade is optimized for curved or radiused areas. For very large, flat areas, a stiffer, wider trowel might be more efficient.
This model features a shaped wooden handle designed for a comfortable and secure grip.
The trowel weighs approximately 1.1 pounds, making it relatively lightweight for ease of use and maneuverability.
This model is typically sold as a complete unit, and the blade is not designed for user replacement. If the blade is significantly damaged, the entire trowel may need to be replaced.
Clean the blade thoroughly with a soft brush or cloth and water. Dry immediately and completely. Apply a light coat of mineral oil or a rust inhibitor to protect the blued steel surface. Ensure storage in a dry location.
Ensure the blade is clean and free of hardened concrete. Check for any bends or damage to the blade's flexibility. Maintain a consistent angle and pressure while troweling. Ensure the concrete mix is consistent.
Inspect the connection between the handle and the blade tang. If the handle is wooden and feels slightly loose, ensure it is dry. For significant looseness, it may indicate wear and the trowel might need replacement.
Setup: This trowel requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.
Compatibility: The Marshalltown Pool Trowel is designed for use with various concrete mixes and finishing compounds. Its primary compatibility is with its intended use on concrete surfaces, particularly those with curves and radii.
Care: To ensure the longevity and performance of the blued steel blade, proper care is essential. Always clean the trowel thoroughly after each use, removing all concrete residue with water. Dry the blade completely with a clean cloth to prevent rust. Store the trowel in a dry environment. Occasional light oiling of the blade can provide an extra layer of protection against corrosion, especially if stored for extended periods or in humid conditions.
