Overview
RTC's SwitchBlade Trowel Set pairs stainless steel blades with thermoplastic rubber (TPR) handles for masonry work such as spreading and finishing mortar.
Trowels wear fast on a masonry job, and stainless steel blades resist the corrosion and buildup that carbon steel picks up from wet mortar over time. The TPR grip cuts vibration during long runs of pointing or plastering. RTC lists this as a set but does not break out how many trowels or blade shapes are included.
- Stainless steel blade material
- Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) handle
- 2.13 kg set weight
Who it's for
Masons, bricklayers and plasterers who need a durable trowel set for mortar or plaster work. Also suits DIYers doing patio, tile or stucco repair who want stainless blades over cheaper carbon steel.
Pros and cons
- Stainless steel blades resist mortar corrosion
- Rubberized TPR grip reduces hand fatigue
- Sold as a set rather than a single trowel
- Listing does not specify how many trowels or blade shapes are included
- No stated blade dimensions
Performance notes
Stainless steel blades stay flatter and resist pitting from wet mortar and cement longer than painted carbon steel, which matters most on jobs run day after day. The TPR handle cushions the grip, the point where fatigue shows up first on long pours. At 2.13 kg for the set, it has some heft, consistent with multiple full size trowels rather than one small tool.
