Master Mason Richard Kreh Endorses Stainless Steel Trowel
Richard Kreh, Sr., master mason, retired masonry instructor and esteemed author of several widely used textbooks for the masonry trade, has endorsed Bon Tool Co's new stainless steel trowel. The trowel is the first ever all stainless steel brick trowel.
Kreh put his stamp of approval on the new trowel after testing it in the field. "I really like the feel and balance of Bon's new stainless steel trowels. The handles are comfortable and the blades flex well on the job," says Kreh.
Richard Kreh has distinguished himself as a talented professional. He is well-known and highly regarded among masons throughout the country.
According to Michele Bender, marketing manager at Bon Tool Co., Richard Kreh's endorsement will be helpful in promoting the trowels. "From a manufacturing standpoint we're confident we've developed an exceptional trowel. With Kreh's strong endorsement, masons will be confident trying this new product," says Bender.
Richard Kreh is the author of Masonry Skills, Advanced Masonry Skills, and Masonry Techniques. He is a member of various professional organizations including the National Education Association; the Masonry Instructors of Maryland (past president); and The American Vocational Association. Mr. Kreh has published various material including Bricklaying and Stone Masonry for Popular Science Book Club and articles in Fine Homebuilding Magazine.
