Made from aluminium making it light but strong. Complete your plastering toolkit with this feather edge from Draper. It's used to ensure a neat finish when applying plasterboard using an adhesive. This feather edge can also be used as a darby in situations where a hand trowel may be too small for levelling between two solid points during final surface finishing. This tool is made from durable aluminium, ensuring it is lightweight to carry and easy to manoeuvre. It's 1.8m in length, so it makes quick work of large floors and walls. The tapered edge is great for smoothing and straightening plasterwork, while the flat edge is ideal for tamping and levelling concrete. Plus, the feather edge doubles as a long straight side for cutting plasterboard and other construction materials. The metal is simple to clean down afterwards and it can be easily stowed away once the job is finished.* Ensure a neat finish* Durable aluminium construction making it lightweight and strong* Use as a long straight edge or in a similar way to a darby* Good coverage* Easy to clean and store* Length: 1.8m Draper Feather Edge 1800mm Aluminium Tapered edge for smoothing and straightening plasterwork.
