Overview
The M-D 49116 is a stainless steel masonry trowel with a Thermoplastic Rubber, or TPR, handle. At 0.08 pounds, it is one of the lightest tools in this batch, and the stainless blade resists rust better than the carbon steel trowels elsewhere in this group.
Priced at 15.53 dollars, it carries a 4.7-star rating across 245 reviews, tying it for the top rating in this batch, with 50 units bought in the last month showing steady, if modest, ongoing demand.
The combination of a stainless blade and a TPR rubber handle points to a low-maintenance trowel designed for grip comfort, and its very light weight suggests it is built for detail or pointing work rather than heavy slab finishing.
