This RST 7" Bucket Trowel is designed for DIYers and professionals needing to mix small batches of materials like plaster, sand, and cement. Its key benefit is efficient mixing and easy bucket cleaning due to its specific blade shape and rounded corners, though it is not intended for large-scale construction tasks. Key features include a durable carbon steel blade, a comfortable soft-grip handle, and a blade that tapers for precise control.

This trowel is designed for mixing small quantities of materials like plaster, sand, and cement, and for easy cleaning of mixing buckets.
The blade width is 125mm at the base, tapering to 100mm, with an overall tool length of approximately 300mm (7 inches).
It is best suited for small to medium tasks. For large-scale mixing, a larger trowel or mixer would be more appropriate.
Wipe off excess material immediately after use. Use a damp cloth or brush to remove residue and dry the blade thoroughly to prevent rust.
The blade is made from quality carbon steel.
While it can be used for small amounts of mortar, its primary design is for mixing and its size makes it less ideal for large spreading tasks compared to a brick trowel.
Yes, the soft grip handle is designed to provide a comfortable and secure grip, reducing user fatigue during operation.
Ensure the blade is cleaned immediately after use. For dried material, soak briefly in water and use a brush or scraper. Apply a light coat of oil for storage to prevent future sticking.
Check that the handle is securely attached to the tang of the blade. If it is a fixed handle, inspect for any cracks. If it's a wooden handle, ensure it hasn't warped due to moisture. For soft-grip handles, ensure no damage has occurred.
Light rust can be removed with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Clean the blade thoroughly and dry it immediately. Apply a light coat of tool oil and store in a dry place to prevent recurrence.
Setup: The RST 7" Bucket Trowel requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This trowel is compatible with a wide range of common building materials including plaster, mortar, sand, cement, and adhesives. It is designed to be used with standard buckets for mixing.
Care: To ensure the longevity of the carbon steel blade, it is essential to clean the trowel thoroughly after each use. Remove all residual material using a damp cloth or a brush. Dry the blade completely to prevent rust. Store the trowel in a dry environment. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. For stubborn dried material, a soft bristle brush or a plastic scraper can be used, followed by drying.
