Product Information

Full details

The Draper Soft Grip Pointing Trowel, 150mm is designed for masons and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable tool for applying and shaping mortar or plaster. Its key benefit is the comfortable, non-slip grip that allows for extended use with reduced fatigue. A potential caveat is its specific size, which may not be ideal for very large or very intricate tasks, making it best suited for medium-scale pointing and finishing work.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of tasks is this trowel best suited for?

This trowel is ideal for pointing, filling, and finishing masonry work, such as repointing brickwork or applying plaster to smaller areas.

How durable is the carbon steel blade?

The carbon steel blade is hardened and tempered for durability, designed to withstand regular use in masonry applications. The lacquered finish also helps protect it.

Is the soft-grip handle effective in wet conditions?

Yes, the soft-grip material is designed to provide a secure and comfortable hold, even when hands or the tool become damp.

What are the dimensions of the trowel?

The trowel has a blade width of 150mm. The overall product dimensions are approximately 33.00cm x 6.80cm x 11.00cm.

How should I maintain the trowel to prevent rust?

Always clean the blade with water after use, dry it thoroughly with a cloth, and store it in a dry place. The lacquered finish provides initial protection.

Can I use this trowel for heavy demolition or scraping?

While durable, this trowel is primarily designed for applying and shaping materials like mortar and plaster. It is not intended for heavy-duty scraping or demolition tasks.

What is the weight of the trowel?

The trowel weighs approximately 0.17kg, making it lightweight and comfortable for extended use.

Troubleshooting

Blade feels sticky or has residue

Clean the blade immediately after use with water and a brush. Ensure it is dried thoroughly.

Grip feels slippery

Ensure your hands are dry and free from oils or grease. Wipe the handle with a dry cloth.

Blade appears to be rusting

Ensure the lacquered finish is intact. If minor rust appears, gently scrub with fine steel wool and re-apply a light coat of food-grade mineral oil for protection, then wipe off excess. Ensure the tool is stored in a dry place.

Handle feels loose

Inspect the weld between the blade tang and handle. If the handle feels significantly loose and the weld appears compromised, the tool may need replacement.
