Product Information

Full details

The Toolty Triangular Brick Trowel is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts working with stucco, plaster, and mortar. Its key benefit is applying and spreading materials efficiently with a durable carbon steel blade and an ergonomic beechwood handle for comfort. A potential caveat is that carbon steel, while durable, may require more diligent care to prevent rust compared to stainless steel. This trowel excels in applying and spreading large quantities of materials like mortar, plaster, stucco, and adhesives onto various surfaces.

FAQs

What materials can this trowel be used for?

The Toolty Triangular Brick Trowel is suitable for a wide range of materials including mortar, plaster, stucco, adhesives, gypsum, and concrete.

How do I choose the right size?

The choice of size (180mm, 200mm, 220mm) depends on the scale of your project and the amount of material you typically need to spread at once. Larger sizes are generally more efficient for broader applications.

Is carbon steel better than stainless steel for a trowel?

Carbon steel offers higher tensile strength and durability, making it more resistant to deformation. However, it is more prone to rust if not properly maintained compared to stainless steel.

How often should I oil the blade?

Oiling the blade is recommended for long-term storage or if you live in a humid environment to prevent rust. For frequent use, thorough cleaning and drying after each job is the most important step.

Can this trowel be used for smoothing concrete?

Yes, its sturdy construction and wide blade make it effective for spreading and initial smoothing of concrete mixes, especially in smaller areas or for touch-ups.

What is the benefit of the continuous weld?

The continuous weld provides additional reinforcement at the point where the blade meets the handle, increasing the overall durability and strength of the trowel, preventing breakage under stress.

Troubleshooting

Blade showing signs of rust

Clean the blade thoroughly with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Wash and dry completely. Apply a light coat of mineral oil to protect the surface.

Handle feels loose

Inspect the connection between the handle and the blade. If a gap is present, it may require professional re-securing. Ensure the trowel is not subjected to excessive prying forces.

Material sticking excessively to the blade

Ensure the blade is clean and dry before use. For very sticky materials, a light application of a non-stick spray (suitable for construction use) might help, though thorough cleaning after each use is primary.

Care: To ensure longevity and maintain performance, clean the trowel thoroughly after each use. Remove all material residue with water and a brush.

Store in a dry environment.
