Professional quality blue steel pool trowel is precision balanced and ready-to-use. High quality blue spring steel has the perfect amount of "give" which allows for a more flexible blade when finishing. Each blade is cross ground to just the right dimension for that perfect feel. Rounded edges prevent surface gouging while finishing the cement. A high-strength, lightweight cast aluminum mounting stands up to the rigors of concrete work. The short 7-7/8" shank provides additional flexibility to the blade. Compression fit stainless steel rivets attach the mounting to the 16" x 4-1/2" blade. No-Turn handle design locks the handle to mounting. Kraft Tool's signature flat trowel with patented ProForm® soft grip handle (US Patent #6,247,204 B1) provides a comfortable grip. The contoured shape and enhanced texture ribbing of the handle reduces fatigue and provides a great grip even when wet. The bright orange handle is easy to spot on a jobsite even after use. Proudly made in the USA.
