6-inch margin trowel for masonry
The Marshalltown 56D is a margin trowel built for masonry work. Its high-carbon steel blade measures six inches long and two inches wide with a square profile. A five-inch tapered DuraSoft handle provides a secure grip during extended use.
Suited for tight joints and detail work
Masons and tile setters working in corners, narrow channels or around fixtures will find the narrow blade manoeuvrable. Builders who need to move large volumes of mortar or cover broad wall areas should look at a wider brick trowel instead.
High-carbon steel blade resists wear
The blade is forged from high-carbon steel that holds its shape and resists bending under load. This material choice determines how long the edge stays true when spreading and shaping stiff mortar mixes day after day.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 56D margin trowel correctly and avoid the common mistake?
The 56D margin trowel is a hand tool requiring no installation. The common mistake is using it for prying, which can bend the high carbon steel blade.
What maintenance or replacement will the 56D margin trowel need over time?
Clean the carbon steel blade after each use and dry it thoroughly to prevent rust. Replace the tool if the blade edge becomes chipped or the DuraSoft handle shows deep cuts.
What limit appears first when using the 56D margin trowel continuously for masonry work?
The .3 kg weight reduces fatigue, but the tapered handle can become slippery with wet mortar, limiting grip security during sustained use.
