Masonry trowel AWTools AW30268, weight 310 g

The AWTools AW30268 masonry trowel is a lightweight hand tool for applying and spreading mortar in brick, block and stone work. The working part is made of galvanized, perforated steel sheet bonded to a plastic body, and the ergonomic open plastic handle provides a secure grip while allowing controlled movement. With a stated weight of 310 g, this trowel is suited for general masonry tasks, small repairs and finishing work where accurate mortar placement and smoothing are required.

Advantages

The galvanized, perforated steel working surface resists corrosion and reduces clogging, while the plastic body keeps the overall tool weight low. The ergonomic open handle offers comfortable handling and improved control during repetitive motions. The combination of materials makes the trowel durable for routine construction use and practical for tasks that require both scraping and leveling of insulating boards.

How to use

Hold the trowel by the open plastic handle and scoop an appropriate amount of mortar onto the working surface. Spread the mortar evenly across the joint or surface using controlled strokes, and use the flat face to smooth and compact the material. For scraping or leveling insulation boards, apply firm, even pressure and move the perforated steel surface across the board to remove excess adhesive or to achieve a uniform plane. Clean the working part after use to prevent buildup on the perforations.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use compatible mortar mixtures and avoid excessively abrasive materials that could accelerate wear. Rinse and dry the trowel after each use, and store it in a dry place to preserve the galvanized surface and plastic components.
