Ancora Gauging Trowel

The Ancora Gauging Trowel is made in Italy from hardened carbon steel, with a pointed rounded-end blade for measuring, mixing and applying mortar with control. It is a favourite for roof pointing and bricklaying because the blade lets you gauge out precise amounts of mortar and place them in tight areas. It is available in 6, 7 and 8 inch sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which size should I choose?

The 6 inch is best for fine detail work, the 7 inch is a balanced all-rounder, and the 8 inch gives more coverage for larger gauging jobs. Pick the size that matches the scale of your pointing and repair work.

What makes the Ancora trowel different?

It is made in Italy from hardened carbon steel with a polished finish and a soft grip handle. The combination of a hard, well-finished blade and a comfortable handle is what makes it popular with tilers and bricklayers.

Is the blade hard wearing?

Yes. The hardened carbon steel blade resists wear and distortion under repeated professional use, and the polished finish keeps the surface smooth for applying and cleaning the trowel.

Can it be used for roof pointing?

Yes. Roof pointing is one of the main uses. The pointed blade tip gauges out the pointing mortar and places it accurately under ridge and hip tiles.
