Kraft Tool Company, PLE461K, Elite Series Five Star Golden Stainless Steel Plaster Trowel with Cork Handle on a Short Shank, 13" x 5"Broken-in and ready for use! Designed and engineered for the professional finisher. Heat-treated golden stainless steel blade is made of a special alloy that will not rust, pit, or stain. The hardened steel holds its edge even after extended use. Each trowel is made with state-of-the-art machinery that grinds the blade to just the right dimension for that perfect feel. Greater flexibility and durability of the blade reduces fatigue when finishing plaster or concrete. 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 of plaster and cement work. The short 7-7/8" shank provides additional flexibility to the blade. Compression fit stainless steel power pin 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 premium flat trowel with cork handle (U.S. Des. Patent #D853,821 S) features natural moisture repellent properties for a firm grip even when wet. The cork resists vibrations to minimize fatigue. The cork handle won't absorb dust making clean-up easy. An ergonomic, fatigue reducing design provides for a secure grip for long hours on the job.
