A line of QLT finishing trowels features a blade made from high-grade blue spring steel that is properly shaped and tempered. The blades are securely attached to a cast-aluminum mounting, which has a square shank to prevent the handle from turning. The tool's control and comfort are further

enhanced by a natural-finish wood handle curved for a better ergonomic fit and more knuckle room.
