The Faithfull Flex Finishing Trowel is designed for professional plasterers who require a tool that performs perfectly from the moment it is taken out of the packaging. Its standout benefit is the pre-worn, high-grade stainless steel blade which eliminates the traditional 'break-in' period, allowing for immediate, smooth application without the risk of the lead edge digging into the surface. However, users should note that the specialized camel back design and cork handle require a specific grip style that may take time to adapt to if you are accustomed to traditional flat-shank trowels.

No, the Faithfull Flex Finishing Trowel features a pre-worn blade design that mimics a well-used trowel, allowing you to use it straight out of the box.
Yes, the cork composite is a robust, shock-resistant, and water-repellent material designed to withstand professional job site conditions.
The arched shape increases knuckle clearance, preventing your hand from accidentally hitting the wall or ceiling during the finishing process.
While the stainless steel is high grade, deep scratches can affect the finish. If the tool fails due to a manufacturing issue, it is covered by a 5-year guarantee.
Absolutely. The pre-worn blade helps beginners avoid the common mistake of 'digging in' the edge of the trowel, making it easier to achieve a flat finish.
Check the blade edge for dried plaster buildup or minor nicks; clean gently with a fine-grit abrasive pad if necessary.
Check the rivets connecting the shank to the blade; if movement persists, contact the manufacturer as it may be a defect covered under the 5-year guarantee.
Wipe the handle with a clean, dry cloth to remove excess plaster slurry and allow it to air dry.
This tool requires no special setup upon arrival; the blade is pre-formed for immediate use. To maintain the life of your trowel, always clean the blade thoroughly with water immediately after each use to prevent plaster buildup. While the handle is water-repellent, avoid soaking the cork in buckets of water for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the adhesive. Store the tool in a clean, dry place. Ensure the blade does not come into contact with aggressive solvents or sharp metal objects that could score the surface, which would ruin the smooth finish of your plaster application.
