FAQs

What types of trowels are included in this set?

The set includes a 150mm (6in) Pointing Trowel for detailed work and filling joints, a 175mm (7in) Gauging Trowel for measuring and mixing, a 275mm (11in) Brick Trowel for spreading mortar and laying bricks, and a Pointing iron (12mm x 16mm) for finishing mortar joints.

Are these trowels suitable for professional builders?

This set is primarily designed for DIY enthusiasts and occasional users. While durable, professional builders undertaking heavy-duty, daily use may require trowels with more robust construction or specific features.

How do I maintain the trowels for best results?

Clean the blades thoroughly with water after each use, dry them completely, and store them in a dry place. Occasional light oiling of the blades can help prevent rust.

What material are the blades made from?

The blades are made from high-quality carbon steel, which is hardened and tempered for durability and a long working life.

What is the benefit of the soft grip handles?

The soft grip handles provide a more comfortable and secure hold, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged use and offering better control over the tool.

Can I use these trowels for plastering as well as bricklaying?

Yes, the gauging trowel and pointing trowel can be used for smaller plastering tasks, applying, and smoothing plaster. The brick trowel is primarily for mortar application in bricklaying.

Troubleshooting

Mortar sticking excessively to the blade

Ensure the blade is clean and dry before use. Applying a light coat of oil to the blade after cleaning can also help prevent adhesion.

Handle feels uncomfortable or slippery

Ensure your hands are clean and dry. The soft-grip handles are designed for enhanced grip, but excessive moisture or grease can reduce their effectiveness.

Blade shows signs of rust

This can occur if the trowel is not dried thoroughly after cleaning or is stored in a damp environment. Clean the rust with fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool and re-oil the blade before storage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction from chrome vanadium steel for extended lifespan.
  • Comfortable and secure grip with soft-touch handles.
  • Includes a good selection of commonly used trowel sizes for various tasks.
  • Ergonomic design offers good knuckle clearance and control.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for demanding, continuous professional use.
  • Blade thickness might be less substantial than professional-grade tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No specific setup is required. The trowels are ready for immediate use out of the package.

Compatibility: These trowels are compatible with standard masonry materials such as mortar, cement, plaster, and concrete. They are suitable for use with common bricklaying and pointing applications.

Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, clean the blades thoroughly with water to remove any residual mortar or plaster. A stiff brush can help dislodge stubborn material.
  2. Drying: Always dry the trowels completely with a clean cloth before storing them to prevent rust.
  3. Storage: Store the trowels in a dry environment, ideally in a tool bag or box, to protect the blades and handles from damage and moisture.
