Masonry Pointing Trowel STANLEY 10×140 mm model 18-236

The STANLEY Masonry Pointing Trowel 10×140 mm (model 18-236) is a hand tool designed for finishing and shaping mortar joints in brick and block work. With a 10 mm wide and 140 mm long blade, this trowel is intended for precise pointing, grout finishing and small repair tasks. The tool’s size and blade shape allow controlled application of mortar in narrow joints and detailed masonry work while remaining compact enough for working in confined areas.

Advantages

The trowel offers a narrow, elongated blade that enables precise joint tooling and consistent mortar finishing. Its length provides reach into deeper joints while the slim blade improves visibility and accuracy when forming concave or flush finishes. The tool is lightweight for reduced operator fatigue during repetitive tasks and is compatible with standard masonry mortar and grout materials.

Suitable for

• Finishing mortar joints in brickwork and blockwork
• Pointing narrow or vertical joints
• Grout finishing and small repair work
• Detail work in restoration and maintenance projects

Key specifications

• Blade width: 10 mm
• Blade length: 140 mm
• Blade shape: narrow, elongated pointing profile
• Primary material: metal blade suited for mortar and grout contact
• Intended use: manual joint tooling and finishing

How to use

Use the pointing trowel to compact and shape mortar within joints after initial application. Hold the handle with a stable grip and apply controlled pressure to run the blade along the joint, forming the desired profile. For concave finishes, arc the blade along the joint surface; for flush finishes, maintain a flat angle and smooth motion. Clean the blade regularly during work to prevent mortar buildup and rinse with water after use to preserve the tool’s condition.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the trowel with mortar of appropriate consistency for pointing—neither too wet nor too dry. Work in manageable sections to maintain mortar workability and ensure consistent joint appearance. Store the trowel clean and dry to avoid corrosion and inspect the blade periodically for wear; replace the tool when the blade loses its profile or becomes deformed.
