13228 14 x 4 Steel Finish Trowel

Overview

The Marshalltown 13228 14 x 4 Steel Finish Trowel (MXS64) is designed for professional concrete and plaster finishing applications requiring precise surface control and long-term blade integrity.

Technical Features

• Cross-ground steel blade: Blade is ground across its face to maintain dimensional stability and shape retention over extended use, reducing the need for frequent re-truing.
• Heat-treated aluminium alloy mountings: Fully heat-treated for structural strength, then polished and machine-finished to ensure a precise handle-to-post fit with no play or wobble.
• Exclusive Diamond Shank design: The square-profile Diamond Shank seats exactly into the corresponding square hole of the basswood handle, mechanically eliminating handle rotation during use.
• Computer-fitted hardened steel rivets: Blade-to-mounting attachment uses rivets that are properly sized and computer-fitted, providing consistent clamping force and long-term joint strength.
• Non-welded construction: Because no welding is used in assembly, there is no heat-affected zone or embrittlement in the blade or mounting, reducing the risk of premature fracture.
• Extra-large toe rivet: An oversized rivet at the toe of the blade adds reinforcement at the point of highest stress concentration during finishing strokes.
• Curved basswood handle: Ergonomically curved wooden handle provides a natural grip angle suited to extended finishing work.

Applications

• Concrete slab finishing — the 14 x 4 in blade dimension suits smooth finishing passes on flat horizontal surfaces.
• Plaster wall finishing — blade geometry and cross-ground surface control material spread uniformly across vertical and overhead substrates.
• Professional masonry and rendering work requiring a consistent, dimensionally stable trowel blade.
