BRICKLAYERS' TOOLS
W. Rose Leather Handled Pointing and Margin Trowels
Kraft Tool Co.
Shawnee, Kan.
W. Rose Masonry Tools, a Kraft Tool Co. brand, has introduced leather gripped pointing and margin trowels. Like the W. Rose brick trowels, the blade and tang is forged as one piece, before going through a special heat-tempered process to create a strong and durable blade. The unique tapered grind produces excellent flexibility in every blade. Each blade is hand polished to keep mortar and other materials centered on blade and resists sliding. The leather handle absorbs sweat and moisture, while retaining a consistent grip. This all-purpose tool is ideal for new construction, repair, preservation work and archaeology. Features include: a blade and tang forged in one piece for strength and flexibility; a hand-polished blade centers material and resists sliding; a smaller version of the legendary W. Rose brick trowel; a leather handle that absorbs moisture on hand; six sizes, from five to seven inches; a handle also available in wood; and an available protective leather pouch (#AR100). These products are made in the United States.
