Product Information

Full details

This RST Leaf End & Square Small Tool (1/2In) is designed for plasterers who need precision for detailed plasterwork and repairs. Its key benefit is the forged solid steel construction with taper grinding for optimal control and durability. A minor caveat is its specific size, making it ideal for smaller jobs but perhaps less suited for large-scale plastering.

FAQs

What is the main purpose of this trowel?

This trowel is ideal for detailed plaster repairs, filling coving mitres, and ornamental plasterwork due to its specific size and taper ground blade.

What material is the trowel made from?

The trowel is forged from solid steel.

What are the dimensions of the trowel?

The dimensions are 12 x 230mm, which is equivalent to 1/2 x 9 inches.

Can this tool be used for large plastering jobs?

While versatile, its compact size makes it best suited for smaller repairs and detailed work rather than large-scale plastering applications.

What is the benefit of a taper ground blade?

A taper ground blade provides a thinner, more flexible edge that allows for greater precision and control when applying and finishing plaster.

What is the return policy if I'm not satisfied?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. Please ensure the returned items are in their original packaging.

Troubleshooting

Plaster sticking to the blade

Ensure the trowel is cleaned thoroughly immediately after use. For stubborn residue, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry completely.

Blade edge becoming dull or damaged

Avoid dropping the tool or using it for tasks it's not designed for. If the edge is slightly damaged, it may be possible to carefully hone it. Significant damage may require replacement.

Rust appearing on the blade

The trowel was not dried properly after cleaning. Clean off any rust with a fine steel wool or abrasive pad, then ensure the tool is thoroughly dried and lightly oiled for storage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable forged steel construction for longevity.
  • Taper ground blade offers excellent precision for fine work.
  • Versatile design suitable for repairs and ornamental plastering.
  • Compact size allows for detailed control in tight spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No specific setup is required for this hand tool. It is ready for immediate use upon receipt.

Compatibility: This tool is designed for use with various plaster compounds, including gypsum plaster, cement-based renders, and filler compounds. It is compatible with standard plastering techniques.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, immediately clean the trowel blade with water to remove all plaster residue. Dried plaster can harden and damage the blade's edge.
  2. Drying: Thoroughly dry the trowel with a clean cloth after washing to prevent rust, especially on the steel blade.
  3. Storage: Store the trowel in a dry place, ideally with the blade protected, to maintain its condition and prevent damage. Avoid storing it loose with other metal tools that could scratch or dull the blade.
