Full details

This 5-piece trowel set by AB Tools is designed for professional builders, bricklayers, and DIY enthusiasts who require a comprehensive toolkit for masonry projects. The set provides essential tools for everything from brick laying and plastering to precision joint finishing. While the hardened carbon steel blades offer exceptional durability and strength, users should be aware that the carbon steel material requires consistent maintenance, such as wiping down and oiling after use, to prevent rust and corrosion in damp conditions.

FAQs

Are these trowels suitable for professional use?

Yes, the hardened and tempered carbon steel construction is designed to withstand the demands of professional building and masonry tasks.

What is the primary use of the brick jointer?

The brick jointer is used to finish the joints between bricks, compressing the mortar to create a neat, weather-resistant finish.

Can I use these for plastering interior walls?

Yes, the 280mm plastering trowel is specifically included in this set for smoothing and applying plaster or cement coatings.

How do I prevent the blades from rusting?

Always wash and dry the tools immediately after use and apply a thin layer of light machine oil to the metal surfaces before putting them away.

Is the handle grip comfortable for long-term use?

The handles are rubber-coated and ergonomically designed to reduce hand strain during long shifts on the job site.

Troubleshooting

Blade showing signs of surface rust

Use a fine-grit sanding block or wire wool to gently remove the rust, then wipe clean and apply a layer of protective oil.

Handle feeling slippery

Ensure the handle is cleaned of any fine dust or mortar residue with a damp cloth to restore the tackiness of the rubber coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These tools require no assembly and are ready for use immediately out of the box. To ensure a long service life, it is essential to clean your trowels thoroughly immediately after completing your work. Wash off all mortar or plaster residue with water and a soft brush. Once clean, dry the blades completely with a rag to prevent rust. Applying a light coating of machine oil to the steel blades before storage is highly recommended, especially if you live in a humid area or are storing the tools in a garage or shed.
