Masonry trowel NEO tools 50-293 — blade 50 cm, weight 86 g, single piece

NEO tools 50-293 masonry trowel is a single-piece hand tool designed for spreading and shaping mortar, cement and plaster. The trowel features a 50 cm blade and a lightweight construction of approximately 86 g, suitable for extended use on masonry, walls and render surfaces. This version is produced as a polystyrene float with a hard, durable finish intended for smoothing and finishing plaster coatings while ensuring safe handling due to non-flammable material properties.

Advantages

The long 50 cm blade provides extended reach and continuous smoothing across larger areas, reducing the need for repeated passes. The lightweight design at about 86 g minimizes hand fatigue during prolonged use. Constructed from hard polystyrene, the float offers consistent surface contact for even finishes and maintains durability for repeated finishing jobs. Non-flammable material improves on-site safety where heat or sparks may be present.

Suitable for

• Applying and smoothing plaster and render on interior and exterior walls
• Finishing cement-based mortars on masonry, blocks and paving
• Levelling and smoothing large surface areas during repair or renovation
• Work requiring a long blade to reach recessed or elevated sections

Key specifications

• Blade length: 50 cm
• Approximate weight: 86 g
• Material: hard polystyrene
• Pack type: single piece
• Primary function: finishing and smoothing plasters, mortars and renders

How to use

Hold the trowel with a firm, comfortable grip and apply plaster or mortar to the wall. Use the long blade to spread material in even strokes, working from the bottom upward or side to side depending on the surface. Maintain a consistent angle and moderate pressure to achieve a uniform finish; use overlapping passes for large areas. After initial application, perform final smoothing strokes to remove ridges and achieve the desired texture.

Usage recommendations

Clean the polystyrene float after each use with water and a soft brush to remove residual material. Store in a dry place away from direct heat sources to preserve material integrity. For best results on coarse or highly abrasive substrates, consider checking the float periodically for wear and replace if surface becomes uneven.
