Trowel EPM E-313-8383 stainless steel blade 130x380 mm wooden handle tooth 8

EPM E-313-8383 is a hand trowel with a stainless steel blade sized 130 x 380 mm and a wooden handle. The blade has tooth size 8, making it suitable for applying and notching adhesives, mortars and leveling compounds. The tool is designed for manual spreading and profiling of materials on walls and floors and is intended for tiling, plastering and finishing tasks where controlled material distribution and uniform grooves are required.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade offers corrosion resistance and a smooth surface that reduces material adherence and eases cleaning. The 130 x 380 mm blade provides a balance of coverage area and control for manual work. A wooden handle delivers a comfortable grip and reduced vibration transfer during repetitive use. The tooth size 8 notch pattern produces consistent ridges for reliable adhesive coverage and improved bonding when setting tiles or panels.

Suitable for

• Applying tile adhesive and creating uniform notches for ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Spreading thinset mortars and leveling compounds on floors and walls
• Plastering and finishing where notched application improves adhesion
• Small to medium tiling jobs, repairs and renovation works

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel
• Blade dimensions: 130 x 380 mm
• Notch size: tooth 8
• Handle material: wood
• Tool type: hand trowel for notched application

How to use

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free of loose debris. Scoop or load the adhesive, mortar or leveling compound onto the blade and spread it evenly across the substrate using the flat side to initially distribute material. Hold the wooden handle firmly and tilt the trowel at the appropriate angle so the toothed edge creates consistent ridges; maintain a steady motion to produce uniform notches. After placing tiles or panels, press and adjust as needed to achieve full contact with the adhesive ridges. Clean the blade and handle after use to prevent build-up and maintain tool performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results match the tooth 8 notch size to the tile size and adhesive type recommended by the adhesive manufacturer; use a consistent trowel angle and even pressure to ensure uniform adhesive coverage. Store the trowel dry and oil the wooden handle occasionally to prevent splitting.
