Notched Trowel 1/4 x 3/8 x 1/4" Square, DuraSoft

This square-notch trowel with a DuraSoft handle carries a 1/4 x 3/8 x 1/4" notch, a step up from a standard 1/4" notch for medium-format tile that needs a bit more mortar. The taller ridge leaves extra thinset under the tile for solid coverage on floors and walls. A dependable trowel for pros and DIYers.

The 1/4 x 3/8" square notch balances mortar coverage and control, and the DuraSoft handle keeps your hand comfortable over a long day of spreading. Comb the thinset in one direction, then set and beat the tile flat to collapse the ridges evenly. Works with modified and unmodified mortars.

The right notch when 1/4" isn't quite enough. Tile Outlets stocks this DuraSoft notched trowel for medium tile.
