Types of Masonry Trowels
- Margin Trowels: Perfect for working in tight spaces and corners, margin trowels are versatile tools that feature a narrow rectangular blade ideal for detailed mortar work and touch-ups. Available in 2-inch to 5-inch widths, margin trowels excel at cleaning excess mortar from joints and applying material in confined areas.

Our selection of pointing trowels includes both Philadelphia-style and London-style options, each offering unique advantages for different masonry tasks. Philadelphia pointing trowels feature a wider blade for greater coverage, while London-style tools offer enhanced maneuverability.

Available at Ace in multiple sizes to match your project needs, these essential tools feature carefully engineered blade angles for optimal material contact and consistent finishing.
