The narrow, flat 1/2" wide blade is ideal for tuckpointing, caulking, and other tight jobs. A favorite trowel for masonry restoration and repair. The 6-5/8" long blade and tang is forged from one piece of steel for strength and flexibility. Forging assures product consistency with high integrity that won't weaken or crack. The trowel is then tempered for strength and ground for flexibility. Each blade is then polished to keep mortar centered on the blade and to resist material from sliding. The tool is designed for perfect balance during use to reduce fatigue. The 4-5/8" hardwood handle is attached with a steel ferrule and balanced for ease of use. The trowel's overall length is 11". Proudly made in the USA.
