Weatherproof PVC Handle: Unlike wood, the plastic handle is immune to moisture. It won’t swell, splinter, or rot, even if left soaking in a bucket of water during a job. Precision Finishing Edge: All four sides of the blade are perfectly straight and flat (plain-edged), allowing for a streak-free application of “palitada,” gypsum putty, or cement finish. High-Carbon Steel Blade: The blade is tempered to offer the perfect balance of rigidity (for leveling) and slight flexibility (for “feathering” edges). Lightweight & Ergonomic: The use of a PVC handle and aluminum mounting reduces the overall weight, significantly cutting down on wrist and forearm fatigue during long shifts. Easy Maintenance: The non-porous surface of the PVC handle and the polished finish of the steel make it much faster to wash off wet mortar before it hardens. Secure Multi-Rivet Construction: The blade is attached to the shank with multiple heavy-duty rivets to ensure it stays “true” and flat under pressure.
