This Amtech G0530 180mm (7") gauging trowel is designed for masons and plasterers seeking a durable and comfortable tool for applying and shaping mortar or plaster. Its key benefit is the hardened and tempered steel blade combined with a soft-grip handle for extended use without fatigue. A potential caveat is that the rounded tip, while useful for certain tasks, may not be ideal for sharp, precise corner work.

A gauging trowel is primarily used for applying and shaping mortar or plaster, especially in masonry and plastering tasks. It's versatile for spreading, smoothing, and trimming materials.
The blade is made of hardened and tempered carbon steel, providing rigidity for effective material application and shaping, rather than flexibility.
The rounded tip is designed to help create smooth finishes in corners and along edges without leaving sharp gouges in the material being worked.
While it can be used for small amounts of mortar for concrete repairs, it is primarily designed for plaster and general masonry, not for large-scale concrete finishing which typically requires different tools.
Please refer to the Amtech warranty information provided at the point of purchase for details on warranty coverage.
Clean the blade with water and a brush immediately after use to remove material residue. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
Ensure the blade is clean and dry. Slightly moistening the blade before use can sometimes help with specific materials. Check for any burrs on the blade edge.
Ensure the soft grip is dry. If the grip material is damaged, consider replacing the tool.
Clean the rusted area with fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool and then apply a light coat of oil to the blade for protection. Ensure the trowel is stored in a dry environment.
