Hilka Pointing Trowel - 150mm

A pointing trowel is designed for applying and shaping mortar precisely into joints, particularly for repairs or detailed masonry work, rather than for spreading large quantities of mortar.

Full tang construction means the metal blade extends through the entire length of the handle. This provides superior strength, durability, and balance to the tool, making it less likely to break under stress.

While it can be used for small repairs or detailed sections of bricklaying, it is not ideal for spreading mortar across the face of bricks like a standard brick trowel. Its strength lies in precision work.

It is suitable for use with standard mortar mixes. The surfaces it can be used on include brick, stone, concrete blocks, and other masonry materials.

Wipe the handle with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals, which could degrade the grip material over time.

Yes, the design of the trowel and its soft grip handle are generally ambidextrous, making it comfortable and effective for both right-handed and left-handed users.

Ensure the blade is clean and slightly damp before applying mortar. Avoid letting mortar dry on the blade during use; clean regularly.

Ensure you are holding the soft grip handle correctly and taking regular breaks. Proper technique can also minimize strain.

The blade has not been dried thoroughly after cleaning. Ensure it is completely dry before storing. Light rust can often be removed with fine steel wool and oil.
