Hey guyz I thought I give you all some general trowel advice and I bought these trowels myself last week. Someone in the room asked that I make a thread about it because I showed them my trowel on cam and they are fascinating. These are all stainless steel and will never rust, which is a bonus, right?

This is a brick trowel, this is used to lay bricks and build stuff like walls, or a nice barbecue in the garden.

This is a general plastering trowel, this is used to slap plaster on a wall and there are also finishing trowels that give a nice smooth finish but I couldn't be arsed googling one.

This is a pointing trowel, it's not as large as a brick laying trowel, and it's used to give a nice smooth finish to the cement in the brick joints.

This is a spatula trowel and is used for finer detail in plastering, that bastard of a bit you can't quite get to with the big trowel.
Now, you could probably use a plastering trowel to lay bricks, but you probably couldn't use a brick laying trowel to smoothly plaster a wall.
If you have any more trowel questions guyz don't be afraid to ask.
