FAQs

What is the primary use for a pointing trowel?

A pointing trowel is primarily used for filling small gaps and joints in brickwork, stonework, and for general repair work where precise application of mortar or plaster is needed.

Is this trowel suitable for large plastering jobs?

While it can be used for small plastering tasks, this 150mm pointing trowel is best suited for detailed work like pointing joints rather than covering large flat surfaces which would typically require a larger plastering trowel.

How do I maintain the carbon steel blade?

Always clean the blade after use and dry it thoroughly. Storing in a dry place and occasionally applying a light oil will help prevent rust and maintain the lacquered finish.

What does 'hardened and tempered' mean for the blade?

This means the carbon steel has undergone a heat treatment process to increase its strength, durability, and resistance to bending or breaking during use.

Can I use this trowel with any type of mortar?

Yes, it is compatible with most standard mortars and plasters. The consistency of the material will affect how easily it applies.

What is the benefit of the soft-grip handle?

The soft-grip handle is designed to provide increased comfort, better grip, and reduce hand fatigue, especially during extended periods of use.

Troubleshooting

Blade showing signs of rust

Ensure the blade is thoroughly dried after each use and stored in a dry location. For persistent issues, clean the blade and apply a thin coat of oil.

Soft grip handle feels sticky or degraded

Clean the handle with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. If degradation is severe, consider replacing the tool.

Mortar not applying smoothly

Check the consistency of your mortar mix. If the mortar is too dry or too wet, it can affect application. Ensure the blade edge is free from hardened debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and hardened carbon steel blade for longevity.
  • Comfortable soft-grip handle reduces user fatigue.
  • Lacquered finish provides corrosion resistance.
  • Suitable for detailed masonry tasks.
  • Reputable brand known for quality tools.

Cons

  • Best suited for pointing and finishing, not for large-scale plastering or heavy demolition.
  • May require regular cleaning to maintain the lacquered finish.
  • Not ideal for very hard or abrasive materials without compromising blade edge.
  • Single unit pack, may require purchasing multiples for larger projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This trowel requires no assembly. It is ready for use straight out of its packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for use with various types of mortar, cementitious compounds, and plaster. Its effectiveness depends on the consistency of the material being worked with.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, clean the blade thoroughly with water to remove any residual mortar or plaster. Use a damp cloth if necessary.
  2. Drying: Ensure the blade is completely dry after cleaning to prevent rust, especially to the carbon steel.
  3. Storage: Store the trowel in a dry environment. For long-term storage, applying a light oil to the blade can offer additional protection against corrosion, preserving the lacquered finish.
  4. Handle Care: Wipe the soft-grip handle with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the grip material.
