The Roughneck Philadelphia Pattern Brick Trowel is drop forged from a single piece of premium-grade Chrome Vanadium (CrV) steel. Roughneck brick trowels offer increased toughness and wear resistance whilst maintaining lightness and dexterity. Alloying chromium enhances the steels’ wear resistance, extending the trowels working life, while combining vanadium imparts greater toughness whilst maintaining flexibility.Utilising this superior CrV steel, and undergoing further advanced hardening and tempering processes, the blade offers the optimal blend of strength, lightness, rigidity and flexibility. The tang angle and rise ensure a tangibly balanced feel, helping to minimise wrist fatigue whilst maximising speed and agility. A durable soft grip handle provides a secure grip whilst ensuring day-long comfort. Also featuring a replaceable end cap and a soft finger guard which can easily be trimmed off if preferred.
