Professional quality golden stainless steel plaster trowel is precision balanced and ready-to-use. The heat-treated golden stainless steel is made of a special alloy that will not rust, pit, or stain. The hardened steel holds its edge even after extended use. Each blade is cross ground to just the right dimension for that perfect feel. The square blade finishes all the way to the corners to complete projects large and small. A high-strength, lightweight cast aluminum mounting stands up to the rigors or plaster, stucco, and concrete work. The 11-5/8" long shank creates a stiffer blade for precision. Compression fit stainless steel rivets attach the mounting to the 13" x 5" blade. An oversized toe rivet provides extra strength when applying pressure during finish work. Guaranteed No-Turn handle design locks the handle to mounting. Kraft Tool's signature flat trowel with patented ProForm® soft grip handle (US Patent #6,247,204 B1) provides a comfortable grip. The contoured shape and enhanced texture ribbing of the handle reduces fatigue and provides a great grip even when wet. The bright orange handle is easy to spot on a jobsite even after use.
