FAQs

What type of steel is the blade made from?

The blade is made from high carbon steel, which is hardened and taper ground for optimal performance.

What are the dimensions of the trowel?

The trowel has a blade length of 150mm (approximately 6 inches).

Is this trowel suitable for heavy-duty work?

While durable, this trowel is primarily designed for pointing, finishing, and smaller repair tasks. It is not intended for heavy demolition or prying.

How do I best maintain the wooden handle?

Clean the handle with a damp cloth and occasionally apply a light wood oil to keep it conditioned and prevent drying.

Can I use this trowel with different types of mortar?

Yes, the trowel is suitable for use with standard masonry mortars and plasters.

What is the main advantage of the taper ground blade?

The taper grinding provides an optimal balance of strength and flexibility, allowing for precise control and maneuverability when working with mortar.

Troubleshooting

Blade appears to be rusting

Ensure the trowel is thoroughly dried after every use. Light surface rust can often be removed with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool and then dried and oiled.

Wood handle feels rough or dry

Apply a small amount of wood oil (like linseed oil) to the handle and allow it to soak in. Wipe off any excess. Repeat as needed.

Loose tang or handle

The tang is welded to the blade for strength. If looseness is suspected, inspect for any visible damage. For typical use, this should not occur.

Care and Maintenance:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly clean the blade and tang with water to remove all mortar or plaster residue. A stiff brush can be helpful for stubborn debris.
