Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gauging trowel used for?
A gauging trowel is used for mixing, loading, and applying mortar, plaster, and similar materials, helping you work cleanly and efficiently from a bucket or mixing tub.
Why choose a 7" (180mm) gauging trowel?
The 180mm size offers a practical balance between capacity and control, making it ideal for scooping and spreading without the bulk of a larger laying trowel.
What does an FSC wooden handle mean?
An FSC wooden handle is a handle made from timber that has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This certification acts as a "seal of approval" that the wood was sourced and manufactured in a way that protects the environment, supports local communities, and ensures workers are treated fairly.
What makes a handle "FSC" certified?
To be sold as FSC certified, a wooden handle must follow a strict Chain of Custody (CoC). This means every company that handled the wood—from the forest manager to the sawmill to the handle manufacturer—must be certified to track and separate FSC timber from non-certified wood.
Is this gauging trowel suitable for mortar and plaster work?
Yes. The steel blade profile suits mortar, plaster, and similar materials, supporting controlled application for repairs, finishing, and general site tasks.
Is this tool suitable for daily trade use?
Yes. It’s designed for regular site and maintenance work, making it a reliable choice for builders, bricklayers, and plasterers.
