Detailed Product Description

This professional-grade pointing trowel features a 150x75mm blade forged from hardened and tempered carbon steel, taper-ground from heel to toe for controlled flexibility when working mortar into joints. The soft-grip handle integrates a reinforced finger guard and pronounced thumb ridge to lock hand position, while the high-lift profile keeps knuckles clear of abrasive surfaces. Engineered for masonry restoration and new construction, it excels in repointing brickwork, laying paving slabs, and bedding stonework with cementitious or lime-based mortars.

Direction for Use

1. Load mortar onto a hawk board.
2. Hold the trowel with your thumb on the support ridge and fingers under the guard.
3. Scoop mortar along the blade’s length.
4. Position the loaded blade perpendicular to the joint.
5. Apply firm, sweeping pressure to force mortar deep into the recess.
6. Tilt the blade slightly on the return stroke for a clean surface finish.
7. Rinse the blade thoroughly after each use with clean water.
8. Wipe dry and apply a light oil coating before storage.
