Kraft Tool 12 x 3-1/2 Inch Carbon Steel Pool Trowel Short Shank Camel Back Wood Handle Concrete Finishing Plastering

Master Curved Surfaces: The Flexible Carbon Steel Pool Trowel for Flawless Finishes

Achieve the perfect radius on swimming pools and curved concrete projects with the Kraft Tool 12" x 3-1/2" Carbon Steel Pool Trowel. Unlike standard flat trowels, this specialized tool features rounded ends designed specifically to eliminate drag lines and prevent surface gouging when working on the concave surfaces of pools and gutters. The blade is crafted from professional-quality carbon steel and cross-ground to precise dimensions, giving it a "broken-in" feel right out of the box. Its distinct short 4-3/8" aluminum shank is the secret weapon for finishers, providing enhanced blade flexibility that allows the tool to bend and conform to tight curves where rigid trowels would leave imperfections.

Built to withstand the rigors of gunite, shotcrete, and plaster work, the mounting is constructed from high-strength, lightweight cast aluminum and secured to the blade with compression-fit stainless steel rivets. This ensures the blade remains secure without adding unnecessary weight that leads to arm strain. The tool is finished with a classic Camel Back wood handle made from smooth hardwood. This contoured design fits naturally in the palm, reducing fatigue during long finishing sessions while offering the traditional grip texture that many professionals prefer. Precision balanced and guaranteed not to turn, this trowel gives you total control over your finish.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: The "Short Shank" isn't just a design preference—it's functional physics. When applying pressure to the handle, a shorter shank acts as a closer fulcrum, allowing the toe and heel of the blade to flex upward more easily. This allows the trowel to conform to the radius of a pool bottom without the edges digging in, which is much harder to achieve with a standard long-shank finishing trowel.
