The Marshalltown Finishing Trowel is an essential tool for professional concrete contractors and masonry experts who require a reliable instrument for achieving smooth, consistent surface finishes. Its primary strength lies in the combination of a high-quality, 16-inch steel blade and an ergonomic handle that minimizes fatigue during long hours of operation; however, users should be aware that the professional-grade steel requires diligent cleaning and proper storage to prevent rust and maintain its optimal flexibility.

Yes, while designed for professionals, the ergonomic handle makes it a comfortable choice for beginners learning proper concrete finishing techniques.
While technically a concrete finishing trowel, it can be used for plastering, though you may prefer a trowel with a slightly more flexible blade depending on the specific plaster finish you require.
Keep the handle free of debris and cleaning agents. If it becomes slippery, simply wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
The blade is permanently attached to the Xtralite mount. If the blade is severely damaged, the complete unit is typically replaced.
It comes with a standard finishing edge. Some professionals choose to 'break in' a new trowel by using it on less critical surfaces to take the sharpness off the edges.
Check the connection between the Xtralite mounting and the blade; tighten the rivets or screws if access permits.
Ensure the blade is thoroughly cleaned and potentially lightly oiled before starting if working with particularly sticky mixes.
Use a fine-grit sanding block or steel wool to remove surface rust, then buff the blade and coat with a light layer of machine oil for storage.
This trowel arrives ready for use right out of the box. There is no complex assembly required.
