Masonry trowel AWTools AW27571 — hand tool for applying and smoothing mortar

AWTools AW27571 is a masonry trowel designed as a hand tool for applying, spreading and smoothing mortar, render and adhesives. The working part is made of high-quality stainless steel for corrosion resistance and consistent surface finish. An aluminium shank increases rigidity under pressure, while an ergonomic cork handle with a plastic finger guard provides a secure non-slip grip and helps reduce hand fatigue during extended use. The open handle design allows easy control when spreading material and permits hanging the trowel on a bucket for storage. Rounded ends enable finishing of curved surfaces and detailed work. The tool is produced in Poland and is suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY users.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade offers durability, easy cleaning and resistance to rust, ensuring long service life in wet working conditions. The aluminium shank provides additional strength where pressure is applied, reducing flex during use. The cork handle with a plastic finger guard delivers comfortable, non-slip handling and minimizes fatigue when working for extended periods. Rounded blade ends improve the ability to finish curved or irregular surfaces. The open handle improves control and storage convenience.

How to use

Use the trowel to scoop an appropriate amount of mortar or adhesive onto the blade, then spread and level the material across the working surface using smooth, controlled motions. For bedding bricks or blocks, apply mortar to the bed and strike off excess to obtain the required thickness. For rendering and finishing, use the rounded ends to shape and smooth curved areas, and the flat face to level planar surfaces. Hold the open cork handle comfortably and maintain a steady wrist motion to ensure even application. Clean the blade after use to prevent material build-up and preserve the stainless steel finish.

Usage recommendations

Use protective gloves and eye protection when working with cementitious materials. Rinse and dry the stainless steel blade after each use to extend service life. Store the trowel hanging by the open handle to avoid blade damage and allow the cork handle to dry between uses. Select this trowel for general masonry, rendering and adhesive work where a combination of durability, control and ergonomic handling is required.
