Product Information

Full details

This Bon Tool Duckbill Trowel is ideal for masons and contractors needing to apply mortar or plaster in confined or intricate spaces. Its primary benefit is its narrow profile, allowing access where standard trowels cannot reach, though its specialized shape makes it less versatile for general plastering tasks. Key features include a durable hardwood handle, a compact 4¾" x 1¾" blade, and an overall length of 10 inches for extended reach.
