Schwan plastering trowel 280 x 130 x 0.7 mm with SOFT GRIP PRO, stainless steel

On this page you can read what to look for when choosing a plastering trowel, so you can tell whether this size and version suit your work.

Why a stainless steel spreader?

Stainless steel is a material often chosen for hand tools because the blade does not corrode easily and is simple to clean. For a spreader this is useful, as traces of adhesive or sealant are less likely to stick and the blade stays flat. The thickness of 0.7 mm gives a blade that still flexes slightly, which can make spreading over a flat surface easier.

The comfort of a soft grip handle

If you work with a trowel all day, you notice the difference between a hard and a softer grip. A soft grip handle is designed to sit more comfortably in the hand and to slip less easily, even when your hands are a bit damp or material gets on them. This helps especially during longer jobs on site.

Choosing the right size

With a blade of 280 x 130 mm you can work a fairly large surface in one stroke, while the trowel remains easy to handle. For larger areas a wider blade is practical, for small or hard-to-reach spots a smaller model. So look at the space you work in and the amount of material you need to process.

Maintenance and storage

Clean the trowel after use while the material has not yet hardened. This keeps the blade smooth and the result even. Store the tool dry and make sure the blade is not bent by other items in the toolbox.
