Marshalltown 16265 Disposable Straight Blade Trowel

Product Description

The MARSHALLTOWN 16265 is a professional-grade disposable straight blade trowel built for trade use on jobsites where cleanup and turnaround time matter. The blade measures 4.5 inches wide by 10 inches long and is made from plastic, making it a single-use solution suited for applications where solvent-based or caustic materials would destroy a reusable tool. The comfort-grip handle is angled to work for both right- and left-hand users, reducing wrist fatigue during extended finishing work. Plasterers, tile setters, drywall finishers, and general contractors reach for this trowel when the task calls for a throwaway option without sacrificing ergonomics.

The 16265 is designed for straight blade finishing and spreading tasks in residential and light commercial construction. Its angled handle geometry makes it adaptable regardless of which hand the installer favors. Typical applications include applying adhesives, mastics, patching compounds, or other materials where blade contamination makes cleanup impractical. The disposable format is especially useful when working with materials that cure on the blade or require solvent cleanup that would degrade standard tool construction.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose disposable straight trowel for spreading and finishing tasks in plastering, drywall, tile, and patching applications where a single-use blade is preferred over a reusable steel trowel.

Installation Notes

No power source or utility shutoff is required for trowel use. Follow all applicable safety data sheet guidance for the material being applied, including glove and eye protection requirements. Dispose of the trowel in accordance with local waste regulations when working with chemical-reactive or hazardous compounds. Do not attempt to clean and reuse the blade with solvents, as the plastic construction is not rated for solvent exposure.
