FAQs

What types of trowels are included in this set?

The set includes a 280mm Philadelphia Pattern Brick Trowel, a 150mm Pointing Trowel, a 175mm Gauging Trowel, a 280mm Plastering Trowel, and a 13mm Brick Jointer.

What material are the blades made from?

The blades are made from high-quality carbon steel, which is hardened and tempered for durability.

Are these trowels suitable for professional use?

Yes, this set is specifically designed for use in the building trade and is built to withstand the demands of professional construction work.

How do I clean and maintain the trowels?

Clean the blades with water and a brush after each use, dry them thoroughly with a cloth, and store them in a dry environment to prevent rust.

Can I use these trowels for DIY home projects?

While they are professional-grade tools, they can certainly be used for DIY projects. However, their robust construction might be more than necessary for very light tasks.

What is the purpose of the lacquered finish?

The lacquered finish provides a layer of protection against corrosion and rust on the carbon steel blades.

Do the handles offer a good grip?

Yes, the trowels feature comfortable soft-grip handles designed to reduce fatigue and provide a secure hold during prolonged use.

Troubleshooting

Trowel blade feels sticky or material won't release easily.

Ensure the blade is clean and dry. Residual material may require scraping off. If hardening has occurred, use a plastic scraper or stiff brush.

Soft grip handle feels slippery.

Wipe the handle with a dry cloth. If the grip is worn, consider using work gloves for better traction.

Rust spots appearing on the blade.

Light rust can be removed with fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool. Ensure the trowel is thoroughly dried after washing and stored in a dry place to prevent future rust.

Blade appears bent or damaged.

Inspect the blade carefully. Minor bending might be gently straightened, but significant damage may require replacement of the individual trowel.

Care and Maintenance:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly clean the blades with water and a stiff brush to remove any residual material. Ensure all plaster or mortar is removed to prevent hardening on the blade.
