Made in the USA with global materials, this trowel is trusted by both DIY enthusiasts and professionals for superior results and long-lasting performance. ## Description Product Description This Marshalltown Finishing Trowel is crafted from the highest quality hardened and tempered golden stainless steel. The blade on this trowel is designed with pre worn edges to give a broken-in shape to eliminate line and ripple marks right from the start. The aluminium alloy mountings are fully heat treated for strength, it is polished and machine finished to ensure an ideal handle-to-post-fit, and are lightweight but extremely strong. The hardened steel rivets, holding the mounting to the blade, are properly sized and computed fitted for added strength. Since Marshalltown trowels are not welded, there is no embrittlement problem to cause premature breaking. This trowel is fitted with a resilient DuraSoft handle which offers a soft feel, reduces fatigue and offers excellent robustness. Safety Warning Use eye protection, be aware of underground utilities, and use gloves to prevent blisters. Review: Worth every penny ! - UPDATE AFTER ANOTHER YEAR - it's still in great shape and with fantastic results! Yes, it was worth every penny. First I tried cheap 11" trowel thinking that expensive ones are for semi professionals. Cheap trowel made a horrible mess and lots and lots of marks made by sharp edges. It also warped during flattering so I decided to try another one. I could not believe previous reviews of this trowel but decided to give it a go. It's not cheap, but I am very, very surprised with quality and finish. Wall finish is now much better even though this is longer trowel. No marks, no rust (Stainless Steel) and much less sticky than cheap trowel so easier to work with. I could not believe how good the handle is compared to cheap products. I would say that if you are a DIYer, don't try to save money on a trowel as these only create a mess and puts people off plastering. Review: Good tool, even for an amateur - I've tried plastering (DIY at home) a few times over the years with acceptable results, using a cheap float. A few months I bought a house that needed many walls and ceilings plastering, so I decided to take the time to practice and get better at DIY plastering. As part of this process I found most articles and reviews saying that the one important tool was a good float -- and the one most agreed as the best is this Marshalltown. Spending ten times the price of the cheap float on this product did not come easily, but I believed the reviewers and took the plunge. Now I cannot say if the big improvement in my plastering is all down to the Marshalltown float, or to extra practice making my technique better (probably both), but the results now are far more professional. The float is a pleasure to use, and even after a few months (several rooms -- a lot for me but just a days work for a real plasterer) the float is as good as new. It did not need "wearing in". Conclusion. Expensive (for an amateur) but I am happy I bought it. ## Features - PermaShape Guarantee: This premium plasterer’s finishing trowel is guaranteed to maintain its original shape, helping you achieve consistent, professional results across plaster, concrete, EIFS, and drywall applications. - Golden Stainless Steel: Enhanced stainless construction for added durability and smooth finishing performance on plaster and concrete surfaces - Broken-In: Pre-bevelled blade edges reduce lines from the first pass and eliminate the need for a break-in period, ideal for both DIY and professional plasterers - DuraSoft: Ergonomic soft-grip handle designed for comfort and reduced fatigue during extended plastering sessions - Lightweight Strength: Durable aluminium alloy Xtralite mounting keeps this plasterer’s finishing trowel lightweight yet strong for reliable daily use.
