Kraft Tool Co.® CFE292BK 18" x 5" Elite Series Five Star™ Blue Steel Pool Trowel with Cork Handle 6 per Case, Short Shank. Broken-in and ready for use! Designed and engineered for the professional finisher. High quality blue spring steel has the perfect amount of "give" when finishing. The top-of-the-line trowel features a precision ground edge that is "broken-in" and ready for immediate use. Made with state-of-the-art machinery that grinds the blade to just the right dimension for that perfect feel. Greater flexibility and durability of the blade reduces fatigue when finishing concrete. Rounded edges prevent surface gouging while finishing the cement. A high-strength, lightweight cast aluminum mounting stands up to the rigors of cement work. The short 9-5/8" shank provides additional flexibility to the blade. Compression fit stainless steel power pin rivets attach the mounting to the 18" x 5" 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 premium flat trowel with cork handle (U.S. Des. Patent #D853,821 S) features natural moisture repellent properties for a firm grip even when wet. The cork resists vibrations to minimize fatigue. The cork handle won't absorb dust making clean-up easy. An ergonomic, fatigue reducing design provides for a secure grip for long hours on the job. A similar contour and grip as our soft grip ProForm® handle design.
