Essential Bricklaying Tool
The Marshalltown 33 12 brick trowel is a London pattern masonry tool built for spreading mortar and grout. Its high carbon steel blade and wood handle make it a reliable hand tool for professional bricklayers and serious DIY builders. The 12 inch blade length provides ample surface for efficient work.
Suited For Mortar Work
This trowel suits masons who need a durable blade for daily bricklaying and pointing tasks. The wood handle offers a traditional grip feel preferred by many tradespeople. Workers who require a narrower blade for detailed restoration or a lighter tool for extended overhead use should consider other patterns.
Capacity And Headroom
The 12 inch blade comfortably handles standard brick courses and typical mortar volumes on residential and commercial jobs. High carbon steel maintains its edge through repeated scraping and spreading. Very large block work or continuous heavy-duty commercial projects may demand a wider or heavier blade than this model provides.

Questions about this item
What type of mortar or grout works with the high carbon steel blade?
The high carbon steel blade spreads standard mortar and grout used in bricklaying.
Can the 12 in. London pattern blade replace a narrower Philadelphia pattern trowel I already own?
The London pattern is wider at 5 1/8 in., so it carries more mortar per pass than a Philadelphia pattern.
How do I know the wood handle is seated correctly on the tang?
The 1 1/4 in. diameter handle should sit flush against the ferrule with no visible gap along the 5 3/4 in. length.
