Description This square-heel Philadelphia blade allows the trowel to hold more mortar. It has become the most popular pattern choice for use with block because of its square edges ability to hold large amounts of mortar. The blade and shank are forged from a single piece of uniquely formulated carbon steel for extra toughness and consistency. Blades are heat tempered with a special time-tested process to ensure uniform blade hardness. Each W. Rose™ masonry trowel features a tapered ground blade for flexibility. The forged steel blade and shank offer strength and integrity with no internal voids that could form from welding. Forged steel will not weaken or crack. Each blade is carefully hand polished to keep mortar centered on the blade and to resist sliding. The standard shank angle is balanced to reduce wrist fatigue. Every trowel is inspected, keeping in mind the high quality standards of the W. Rose legacy. They also undergo testing for blade hardness and consistent size. The handle is designed for a comfortable hold by the bricklayer. An ergonomic, fatigue reducing design provides for a secure grip for long hours on the job. Proudly made in the USA.
