Stainless steel welded trapezoidal trowel MODECO MN-74-023, 160 mm

Stainless steel welded trapezoidal trowel MODECO MN-74-023, 160 mm is a hand tool designed for smoothing and finishing plaster, mortar and other construction materials. The 160 mm working width and trapezoidal blade profile enable controlled shaping and even spreading on walls and ceilings. Two-point welded construction secures the blade to the handle connection, offering durability and resistance to deformation during repeated use. Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction makes the tool suitable for wet environments and for use with lime- and cement-based materials.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade provides consistent flatness and resists rust, maintaining a smooth working surface over time. The welded connection between blade and tang increases structural stability and reduces loosening compared with riveted or single-point constructions. The trapezoidal shape improves access to corners and joints while allowing precise control of plaster thickness. The compact 160 mm width balances maneuverability and coverage, making it suitable for both detailed finishing and medium-size surface work.

Suitable for

• Finishing and smoothing interior and exterior plaster surfaces
• Applying and leveling mortar on walls and small repairs
• Precision work around corners, openings and trims
• Professional plasterers and DIY renovation tasks

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel for corrosion resistance
• Blade shape: trapezoidal profile for corner access and controlled spreading
• Working width: 160 mm
• Construction: two-point welded joint between blade and tang for enhanced durability
• Intended use: smoothing and finishing plaster, mortar and similar materials

How to use

Prepare the substrate according to the material manufacturer's recommendations and ensure surfaces are clean and free of loose particles. Load the trowel blade with an appropriate amount of plaster or mortar and apply with steady, even strokes. Use the trapezoidal edge to approach corners and openings, adjusting angle and pressure to control material thickness and surface finish. Clean the blade promptly after use to prevent material buildup; stainless steel resists corrosion but benefits from routine maintenance to preserve flatness and working precision.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use this stainless steel trapezoidal trowel with ready-mixed or site-mixed gypsum, cement or lime plasters within their recommended working time. Keep the blade clean and dry between uses, and inspect the welded joint regularly for signs of wear. When working on large areas, combine this 160 mm trowel with wider finishing tools to increase efficiency while using the trapezoidal trowel for detail work and corner finishing.
