trowel

A trowel is a small hand tool used for digging, applying, smoothing, or moving small amounts of viscous or particulate material. Common varieties include the masonry trowel, garden trowel, and float trowel.
A power trowel is a much larger gasoline or electrically powered walk-behind device with rotating paddles used to finish concrete floors.

    Tilersforums Trowel Is A Fake!

    The trowel logo for the forum is not a real trowel. At first i thought it was a left handed one but then I noticed the notches on the short side of the trowel are on the wrong end.Or the handle is on the wrong way round! Has anyone else noticed this?

    Hi, I understand why Bal designed their thin bed solid bed trowel as they have although by the sounds of it people prefer the Rubi trowels. Would an 8mm square notched trowel suffice for wet areas or is a u shape version available? Thanks
