Gauging Trowels

Brick Trowel:
Slightly rounded, diamond-shaped blade.
Designed for laying brick, laying block, tamping and cutting bricks.
Margin Trowel:
A tool with a V-shaped back but a rectangular front.
Used to mix thinset and other material, for scooping and spreading material such as adhesives in tight spots.
Finishing Trowel:
Large, flat rectangular blade.
Used to smooth a surface after concrete has begun to set.
Gauging Trowel:
Rounded tip, v-shaped back.
Designed for gauging, or mixing in specified proportions, small amounts of quick set plaster.
Magnesium Masonry Hand Float:
Floating helps remove imperfections and produces a flatter surface.
It also compacts the slab and the mortar at the surface in preparation for later finishing operations.
Pointing Trowel:
Smaller version of brick trowel.
Used to separate concrete from the forms it is poured into, finishing joints in brick walls, and for spreading material in tight spots, filling in small cavities.
