English Trowels
Goldblatt Tool Co. has announced that English made Brades-Tyzack Trowels have been added to their increasing line of trowel trade tools. Goldblatt is now the exclusive U.S. distributor for the trowels and many other speciality items forged in Britain's famed Sheffield Steel Center. After several years of absence from the American market, Brades-Tyzack and Goldblatt officials agreed to reintroduce the tools because of the growing demand for the trowels by many professionals. The reason for the preference is the trowel's construction of Britain's finest steel and the tools' design. Cleanly forged and heat treated, the smooth handling trowels have the short post and low English hang many skilled masons prefer. The trowels are available in the 11" Wide Heel (approximately 5%") London design for $5.50 and 11", 12 and 13" Narrow London styles for $5.50, $5.65, and $5.80 respectively. Also available is an 11" Philadelphia Pattern trowel selling for $5.50.
