The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Hanroy D1147 is an all plastic masonry trowel, with a plastic blade and plastic handle, priced at $7.99. It holds a 4.3 star rating across 192 reviews.
At this price, the D1147 is aimed at occasional or light duty use rather than daily jobsite work. The listed item weight of 1 gram is almost certainly a data entry error rather than the trowel's real weight, so buyers shouldn't rely on that figure for anything.
192 reviews at a 4.3 star average is enough to clear ToolHandle's quality floor, but the listing shows 0 buyers in the last month, so recent demand looks quieter than several other trowels in this lineup.

Performance notes
An all plastic trowel like the D1147 is built for light patching or occasional use, not for the daily grinding, cutting, and scraping a steel blade takes on a real jobsite.
What buyers say
192 reviews at 4.3 stars shows a solid track record for a budget tool, though the lack of buyers in the last month suggests it's less of an active seller right now than some alternatives.
