Professional quality blue steel pool trowel is precision balanced and ready to use. High-quality blue spring steel has the perfect amount of "give" which allows for a more flexible blade when finishing. Each blade is cross-ground to just the right dimension for that perfect feel. Rounded edges prevent surface gouging while finishing the cement. A high-strength, lightweight cast aluminum mounting matches the rigors of concrete work. The 11-5/8 In. long shank creates a stiffer blade for precision. Compression-fit stainless steel rivets attach the mounting to the 14 In. x 4 In. 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 signature flat trowel with a smooth wood handle provides a comfortable grip. The contoured shape of the handle reduces fatigue.
