W.Rose Philadelphia Brick Trowel

The W.Rose Philadelphia Brick Trowel is a professional masonry trowel designed for bricklaying and blockwork, featuring an 11" square-heel Philadelphia blade engineered to carry larger volumes of mortar.

The square-heel blade profile has made this pattern the preferred choice for block laying, where its straight edges allow masons to pick up and spread generous amounts of mortar efficiently. The blade and shank are forged from a single piece of uniquely formulated carbon steel — eliminating the internal voids and potential weak points associated with welded construction. Heat tempering ensures uniform blade hardness throughout, while each blade is hand polished to keep mortar centred and reduce unwanted sliding.

A tapered ground blade provides the controlled flexibility experienced bricklayers expect, and the standard shank angle is specifically balanced to reduce wrist fatigue during extended use. The rugged 5¼" translucent amber butyrate plastic handle is built to withstand tamping without mushrooming — a common failure point on lesser trowels. Every trowel is individually inspected and tested for blade hardness and dimensional consistency before leaving the factory.

Proudly made in the USA, the W.Rose range carries a long-standing reputation for quality among professional masons and bricklayers.
