Bon Tool Pointing Trowel - Stainless Steel - Wood Handle - 5 1/2"

A pointing trowel is primarily used for applying mortar or grout into small joints, patching holes, and performing detailed finishing work in masonry and construction.

Stainless steel provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring the trowel lasts longer, performs reliably even in damp conditions, and maintains its appearance compared to carbon steel.

The wood handle offers a comfortable, secure grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended use. It also provides a natural feel that many professionals prefer.

While the 5 1/2" size is versatile, it is best suited for general pointing and finishing. For extremely intricate detailing, a smaller specialized tool might be more appropriate.

Periodically clean the handle and apply a wood conditioner or linseed oil to keep it from drying out or cracking, ensuring its longevity and grip.

This Bon Tool trowel is designed for superior durability and longevity, featuring a rust-resistant stainless steel blade and robust construction intended to outlast many standard margin trowels.

Although stainless steel is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or saltwater can still cause minor surface discoloration. Clean the blade thoroughly and dry it completely. For stubborn spots, a fine-grit abrasive pad can be used gently, followed by thorough drying and oiling of the handle.

Lightly sand the wood handle with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 220 grit) to smooth it out. Follow up by applying a wood conditioner or linseed oil to protect the wood and improve grip. Ensure the handle is dry before use.

Ensure the blade is clean and dry before use. For sticky materials, a light application of paste wax on the blade before starting work can help reduce adhesion. Clean the blade immediately after use to prevent material from hardening.
