Full details

Its key benefit is the combination of a durable carbon steel blade with an ergonomically designed handle for extended comfort and precision.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of a Philadelphia pointing trowel?

A Philadelphia pointing trowel, like this OX Pro model, is specifically designed for detailed pointing and repair work on brickwork, allowing for precise application of mortar in joints and tight spaces.

What material is the blade made from?

The blade is made from high-quality carbon steel, known for its durability and strength.

How do I clean the trowel after use?

Clean the blade thoroughly with water immediately after use to remove all mortar or debris. Dry the blade completely to prevent rust and store in a dry location.

Is the DURAGRIP handle comfortable for long work sessions?

Yes, the DURAGRIP handle is designed with a soft grip and finger protection to provide extreme comfort and reduce fatigue during extended use.

Can I use this trowel for general bricklaying?

While possible, this trowel is optimized for detailed pointing. For general bricklaying, a larger, standard brick trowel might be more efficient.

How does the straight welded shank contribute to its performance?

The straight welded shank provides a strong and secure connection between the blade and the handle, ensuring durability and reliable performance even under pressure.

What sizes are available for this model?

The OX Pro Pointing Trowel Philadelphia is available in 4 inch, 5 inch, and 6 inch sizes.

Troubleshooting

Blade appears dull

While designed for pointing, if the edge feels significantly dulled for your task, it may require sharpening with a whetstone suitable for carbon steel. Ensure the blade is clean and dry before sharpening.

Mortar sticking excessively to the blade

Ensure the blade is clean and free of rust. Applying a small amount of water to the blade surface before use can help reduce mortar adhesion. Clean immediately after use.

Discomfort during extended use

Ensure you are holding the trowel with the integrated finger protection engaged. If discomfort persists, consider taking more frequent breaks and ensuring your grip is relaxed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with various types of mortar, cement, and grout.

Care:
