Bon Tool Blue Steel Square End Finish Trowel - Camel Back Wood Handle - 14" x 5"

This trowel is designed for applying and finishing concrete, plaster, stucco, and other cementitious materials, particularly for achieving smooth, uniform surfaces and clean edges.

Blue steel is known for its strength and flexibility. While it can bend under extreme force, it is designed to withstand the rigors of professional use without easily deforming.

The camel back design typically offers a more pronounced curve, which can provide better ergonomics and a more natural grip position for the hand, potentially reducing strain during prolonged use.

While primarily designed for finishing, its sturdy construction and balance can also be effective for initial passes, though its square end is optimized for precise finishing.

The blade dimensions are 14 inches long by 5 inches wide.

The trowel weighs approximately 2.0 pounds.

Yes, trowels are ambidextrous tools and can be used effectively by both left-handed and right-handed individuals.

Ensure the blade is thoroughly dried after each cleaning. Light rust can typically be removed with fine steel wool and a light oil coating. For persistent rust, consider a rust remover designed for tools.

Check the material consistency; it might be too dry or too wet. Also, ensure the blade is clean and free from any hardened debris that could cause drag marks.

Inspect the connection between the handle and the shank. If it's a riveted or screwed connection, ensure fasteners are tight. If the wood itself is compromised, replacement might be necessary.
