Pool Trowel - 16in - MSP16 - Marshalltown

This trowel is specifically designed for finishing the interior surfaces of swimming pools, where its flexible blade and rounded ends are ideal for curved surfaces.

While it can be used for some plastering, it is optimized for the unique curves and radii found in pool construction. For flat walls, a different type of trowel might be more efficient.

Always clean and thoroughly dry the blade after each use. Applying a light coat of tool oil before storing it for extended periods is recommended.

Xtralite refers to Marshalltown's lightweight aluminum alloy mounting system, designed to reduce the overall weight of the tool without compromising strength.

The blade is permanently attached to the mounting with rivets. Replacement is not a standard user-serviceable part; if the blade is significantly damaged, the entire trowel may need replacement.

The round ends prevent the trowel from digging into the pool surface or leaving sharp lines, allowing for a smoother, more continuous finish on curved areas.

The blade is designed for specific flexibility. Ensure you are using it for its intended purpose (pool finishing). Blade flexibility is a feature, not a defect, but extreme stiffness or floppiness might indicate damage, though unlikely with proper care.

Ensure the blade is clean and dry before and after each use. For sticky materials, a quick wipe with a damp cloth during use can help maintain a clean surface.

The curved hardwood handle is ergonomically designed. Ensure you are holding it with a natural grip. If discomfort persists, consider using work gloves.
