The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Wilcox 55s is a masonry trowel built entirely from stainless steel, blade and handle alike, measuring 10 x 1.3 x 2 inches and weighing 0.16 kilograms. It is priced at $20.00 and holds a 4.7 star rating across 214 reviews.
An all stainless build, including the handle, means there is no wood or plastic to wear out or absorb moisture, which fits trowels used repeatedly in wet mortar. At 0.16 kilograms it is also one of the lighter tools in this lineup.
The listing shows 0 buyers in the last month, so while the 214 review base and 4.7 star rating clear ToolHandle's quality floor, current month over month demand looks quieter than several other trowels compared here.

Performance notes
At 10 x 1.3 x 2 inches and 0.16 kilograms, the Wilcox 55s is a compact, lightweight trowel, and its all stainless build means neither the blade nor the handle needs the rust care a carbon steel or wood combination would.
