Draper Redline Soft Grip Pointing Trowel - 150mm

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
