Marshalltown 13117 Pool Trowel 16x4.5 in Spring Steel

Product Description

The MARSHALLTOWN 13117 is a pool trowel designed for finish plaster work on curved and radius pool surfaces. The blade measures 16 inches by 4.5 inches and is manufactured from highest-grade hardened tempered spring steel, giving it the flex needed to follow tight radii without cracking or taking a permanent set. The Durasoft handle provides a secure, fatigue-reducing grip during extended finishing sessions. Mounting is handled by a short aluminum alloy Xtralite bracket, which keeps the tool lightweight without sacrificing blade control. Pool plasterers and masonry finishers are the primary users of this trowel.

This trowel is built specifically for pool plastering applications where the blade must conform to curved walls, floor transitions, and radius corners. It is also well-suited for general cement and plaster finishing tasks that require a flexible blade. The properly shaped blade geometry allows consistent pressure distribution across the full face, which is critical when laying up a smooth, uniform plaster coat on gunite or shotcrete pool shells. Sold in a package quantity of 6 units per case, making it a practical restock for plastering crews.

Key Features

• 16 inch by 4.5 inch blade sized for full-coverage pool finish strokes
• Highest-grade hardened tempered spring steel blade flexes to conform to almost any radius
• Durasoft handle reduces hand fatigue during extended plastering work
• Short aluminum alloy Xtralite mounting keeps overall tool weight low
• Properly shaped blade geometry promotes even plaster distribution on curved surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-issue trowel for pool plastering applications, compatible with typical pool plaster and finish coat work on gunite and shotcrete shells requiring a flexible finishing blade.

Installation Notes

This trowel is used by pool plasters and masonry finishers applying finish coats to pool interiors. Before beginning, ensure the substrate surface is properly prepared and at the correct moisture condition per the plaster mix manufacturer's requirements. Rinse and dry the blade after each use to prevent plaster buildup that can affect blade flex and surface finish quality. Blade inspection for bends, nicks, or corrosion should be performed before each use.
