This 7″ Gauging Trowel by MAK is a versatile and essential tool for masonry, plastering, and tiling. Specifically designed for “gauging”—the process of mixing specific proportions of materials—it excels at handling small batches of mortar, plaster, or quick-setting thin-set.
Product Overview
The MAK 7-inch gauging trowel features a rounded-tip blade and a V-shaped back, providing the perfect balance of precision and material loading. Its compact size makes it the go-to tool for working in tight or confined areas where larger trowels are too bulky.
