Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull Prestige Cement Trowel is designed for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts working with mortar or cement over large surface areas, particularly for flooring applications. Its primary benefit is efficient application and finishing due to its long, pointed blade and comfortable handle, allowing access to corners. A potential caveat is that specialized trowels might be preferred for very fine or delicate finishing tasks.

FAQs

What is the primary use of this cement trowel?

This trowel is primarily designed for applying and spreading mortar or cement over large surface areas, commonly used in flooring applications and general masonry work.

Is this trowel suitable for fine plastering work?

While it can be used for some finishing, its large size and pointed end are optimized for bulk application and working with cement or mortar. For very fine plastering, a smaller, differently shaped trowel might be more suitable.

How do I clean the trowel after use?

Rinse the blade thoroughly with water immediately after use to remove all cement or mortar residue. Dry the blade completely before storing.

What material is the blade made of?

The blade is made from 301 high-grade stainless steel.

What is the benefit of the 'camel back' handle?

The 'camel back' or arched shape of the handle provides extra knuckle clearance, making it more comfortable to use and preventing your knuckles from hitting the surface you are working on.

What is the warranty on this product?

The Faithfull Prestige range, including this trowel, is covered by a 10-year guarantee.

Can I use this trowel for concrete?

Yes, this trowel is suitable for working with cement and mortar mixes, which are components of concrete, for spreading and finishing tasks.

Troubleshooting

Mortar sticking excessively to the blade.

Ensure the blade is clean and slightly damp before use. Avoid letting mortar dry on the blade.

Handle feels uncomfortable during prolonged use.

Ensure you are using the correct grip for the task. The ergonomic design should minimize discomfort, but proper technique is also key.

Blade shows signs of rust.

Clean the blade thoroughly and dry it completely. Apply a light coat of oil to the steel blade before storing to prevent future rust.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for applying mortar or cement over large areas, especially floors.
  • The pointed tip is ideal for detailed finishing and reaching corners.
  • Ergonomic handle design promotes comfort and reduces user fatigue during long jobs.
  • Robust construction ensures durability and a long service life.
  • High-grade stainless steel blade resists rust and wear.

Cons

  • May be too large for very small or intricate plastering tasks.
  • The pointed tip, while useful for corners, might be less ideal for perfectly flat, seamless finishes on wide expanses compared to a rounded-end trowel.
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain optimal performance.

Care:
