Masonry trowel AWTools AW27556 — hand trowel for mortar and bricklaying

AWTools AW27556 is a hand masonry trowel designed for applying and spreading mortar and adhesives during bricklaying, tile work and repair tasks. The working part is made of high-quality stainless steel with a flat profile and square teeth on the back to improve material transfer. An ergonomic cork handle with a plastic finger guard and an aluminium shank provide secure grip and durability, while the open handle design allows easy control and convenient hanging when not in use. Suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY users, this trowel is produced in Poland for consistent build quality.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade resists corrosion and maintains a smooth surface for even mortar application. Square teeth on the blade back improve adhesion and ensure more consistent transfer of mortar or adhesive onto tiles or masonry surfaces. The cork handle with a finger guard gives a non-slip grip and helps reduce hand fatigue during prolonged use. An aluminium shank increases strength where pressure is applied, and the open handle enables precise control and simple storage by hanging on a bucket or tool rack.

Suitable for

• Applying and spreading mortar in bricklaying and blockwork
• Spreading tile adhesive and preparing tile backs
• Plastering touch-ups and small repair jobs
• DIY renovation and building tasks requiring manual material placement

How to use

Hold the trowel by the ergonomic cork handle with the flat blade facing the work surface. Use the flat face to pick up and spread mortar or adhesive evenly across the substrate. For adhesive or tile work, use the square teeth on the blade back to comb the material and create uniform ridges before applying tiles. Apply steady pressure through the aluminium shank for controlled placement and smoothing. Clean the blade after use to prevent material build-up and maintain the stainless steel surface.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when working with mortar and adhesives. Rinse and dry the stainless steel blade after each use to prevent residue hardening. Store the trowel by hanging from the open handle to protect the blade edge and prolong tool life.
