Masonry trowel Flo 99047 – Flo brand masonry/trowel tool, model 99047, 1 pc

Flo 99047 masonry trowel is a compact steel trowel with a 70 mm wide working blade and a short wooden-handle grip. Supplied as a single piece, it is designed for spreading, shaping and finishing mortar, plaster and cement on masonry and brickwork for general masonry tasks.

Advantages

The steel working part provides durability and maintains a consistent edge for smoothing and shaping. A short wooden handle offers a secure grip and control during precision work. Its compact size makes the trowel easy to manoeuvre in tight areas and suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY users.

Suitable for

• Applying and smoothing mortar during bricklaying
• Plaster patching and small render jobs
• Shaping and finishing cement on small surfaces
• Garden and planting tasks that require scooping or moving soil in narrow spaces

When it may not be suitable

This compact trowel may be less efficient for large-scale plastering or rendering where a larger blade would cover more surface area faster. It is not intended for heavy demolition or levering tasks that could bend the working blade.

Key specifications

• Working width: 7 cm
• Total length: 35 cm
• Working height (blade length): 15 cm
• Material: steel blade
• Handle type: wooden short handle

How to use

Hold the trowel by the wooden handle and scoop mortar onto the blade. Spread mortar evenly across the work surface using smooth, controlled motions, and use the edge to shape or level joints and surfaces. For finishing, apply light pressure and use the blade to smooth plaster or render. Clean the blade after use to prevent material buildup and prolong the tool's life.

What to consider before purchase

• Match blade width (7 cm) to the scale of the job—larger surfaces may require a wider trowel
• Consider handle comfort for prolonged use; wooden handles offer grip but less cushioning than ergonomic synthetic handles
• Check that a compact 35 cm length suits access to tight spaces and the user's reach

Usage recommendations

For best results use the Flo 99047 trowel for small to medium masonry, repair and finishing tasks; keep the blade clean and dry after each use and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
