MARSHALLTOWN Pointing Trowel 102 x 51 mm, Assembled in USA, Masonry

An expensive but good quaility trowel that is standing up well to daily use by an archaeologist. Far outlasting many cheapere options that have worn out making it vary good value for the price.

Bought as an archaeology excavation trowel. Very easy on the wrist (very light) and have worked perfectly on heavy dense clay sites. Much preferable to other similar size trowels due to its lightness and thinness, you can easily peel of the clay in layers and end up with smooth and nice edges. Might take a while to get used to if you're not used to lightweight trowels to begin with. A must have in my tool roll.

Very good, easy to use and a comfortable handle, overall a solid product

Good sturdy little pointing trowel. Great for pointing in tight places like a small recess.

Ok, like many people looking for a 4-inch pointing trowel, this was purchased for an archaeologist....in this case an American. I'll get onto that. Firstly, this product arrived quickly, well packaged, good service. It's welded, not rivetted (most importantly), it has a soft grip which is great for prolonged use. However... It's going to sound puerile to non-archaeologists (because it is), but there has always been a friendly rivalry on which is the better - the British Spear & Jackson WHS 4-inch pointing trowel, or those used in other countries. Obviously, the Americans choose an American brand - the Marshalltown. My problem is that the blade is considerably thinner than the British made one, to the point of being 'springy' (something you can't say about the WHS). Because of this, I suspect it wouldn't cope well with the type of 'work-horse' use a normal trowel gets on a dig (where it can be used both for delicate work and as a mini mattock!). Any WHS trowel that has done the rounds eventually gets worn down, this one will naturally wear down much more quickly. So, in effect, I'm going to continue boring people with why the WHS is superior. After all that, having pointed a few walls in my time, I suspect this lighter weight, soft grip trowel would be absolutely ideal for actually pointing mortar!!!

highly recommended , very good professional small pointing trowel

Trowel arrived in great condition,also on time, what more can i say? I have bought many brands of trowels in My young days in the building trade, and without doubt Marshalltown Is the leader by miles.

Nice add the the tool kit .

Verarbeitung ist in Ordnung, für meinen Zweck etwas zu dünn und wabnelig. Da gibt es stabilere Alternativen.

Ottima, mi sono trovata bene da subito

Acquistato come regalo per un amico. Prodotto che quando è arrivato ha dato subito l'impressione di essere professionale e di buona qualità, resistente e con buoni materiali costruttivi. Grip ed ergonomia dell'impugnatura molto buoni.

Bei einer Blattstärke von 0,65-0,8mm (gemessen!) federt das Blatt, auch wenn es geschmiedet ist. Leider ungenügend!

Un prodotto ottimo sopratutto per la pulizia di sezioni e lavori di fino in archeologia. Ad un prezzo spaventoso poi. Non si può che dare 5 stelle
