FAQs
What is the primary use for this trowel?
This trowel is specifically designed for professional brickworking, particularly for spreading and shaping mortar due to its broad heel blade.
Is the blade flexible?
Yes, the blade is taper ground for progressive flexibility, offering a balance of rigidity and adaptability for precise bricklaying.
How does the handle design improve comfort?
The ergonomic soft-feel, non-slip handle with an integral finger guard and an optimised angle is designed to reduce wrist strain and provide a comfortable, secure grip during prolonged use.
What is the benefit of the 'broad heel' design?
The broad heel provides a larger surface area for carrying and spreading mortar, allowing for greater capacity and efficiency when laying bricks.
Will this trowel bend or break easily?
No, it is solid forged from a single piece of quality carbon steel, making it extremely strong and durable for demanding professional use.
Does it come with a protective coating?
Yes, the trowel features a protective clear lacquer coating on the blade for initial protection.
How should I care for this trowel to prevent rust?
Always clean off mortar residue after use and ensure the trowel is completely dry before storing. Store in a dry environment and consider applying a light oil to the blade for long-term storage.
Troubleshooting
Blade shows signs of rust
Clean the blade thoroughly with a wire brush or steel wool. Dry completely and apply a light coat of oil to protect the surface. Ensure storage in a dry place.
Handle feels uncomfortable or slippery
Ensure the handle is clean and dry. The soft-feel grip is designed for comfort; if issues persist, consider using work gloves for added grip and protection.
Mortar not sticking well to the blade
Ensure the blade is clean and free from debris or old mortar. The surface is designed for optimal mortar adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This trowel requires no setup; it is ready for immediate use upon unboxing.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for professional brickworking, it is compatible with most common mortar types. Its 11" size is standard for general bricklaying.
Care: To maintain the trowel's condition and longevity:
- Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly clean the blade and handle with water to remove all mortar residue. A stiff brush can be helpful.
- Drying: Ensure the trowel is completely dry before storing it. Moisture left on the carbon steel blade can lead to rust.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment, ideally in a tool bag or box where it is protected from humidity.
- Rust Prevention: For long-term storage or in humid conditions, a light application of oil to the steel blade can help prevent rust. The protective clear lacquer coating offers initial protection but should be maintained by proper cleaning and drying.
