Description: Carbon-steel blade is hardened, tempered, ground & polishedSteel cap ideal for setting brick & blockErgonomic handle A margin trowel is a versatile and indispensable tool used in the field of masonry and construction. It is a small, flat, and rectangular hand tool, typically measuring around 5 to 6 inches in length and 2 inches in width. The primary purpose of a margin trowel is to assist with the precise application and manipulation of mortar or other masonry materials in tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas. The blade of a margin trowel is usually made of high-quality tempered steel, which ensures durability and longevity. It features a straight edge on one side and a slightly curved edge on the other, allowing for a variety of applications. The handle is typically made of wood, rubber, or plastic and provides a comfortable grip for the user. Masonry professionals, tile installers, and DIY enthusiasts commonly use margin trowels for a range of tasks, such as: 1. Mortar application: The trowel's flat and narrow design makes it perfect for scooping, spreading, and applying mortar to small surfaces, such as tile edges, corners, or along baseboards. 2. Tile installation: When setting tiles, a margin trowel is used to spread thin-set adhesive evenly on the substrate, ensuring proper adhesion and preventing tile lippage. 3. Grouting: After tiles are set in place, the margin trowel comes in handy for pushing grout into the spaces between the tiles, ensuring a clean and polished finish. 4. Repair work: When repairing cracks or damaged mortar joints, the margin trowel allows for precise application of new mortar or patching compounds. 5. Concrete patching: It is also useful for applying small amounts of concrete or cementitious repair materials to cracks or holes in concrete surfaces. 6. Cleaning excess material: The straight edge of the margin trowel can be used to scrape off excess mortar, grout, or other materials, leaving a clean and smooth surface. 7. Mixing small batches: While it might not be the primary tool for mixing large amounts of mortar, the margin trowel can be used for small batch mixing when working in confined spaces or for specific applications. Due to its small size and versatility, the margin trowel is an essential addition to any mason's or DIY enthusiast's toolkit. It allows for more control and precision in various masonry tasks, making it an invaluable tool for achieving professional-looking results in construction and renovation projects.
