The Plasterer’s Small Tool is a double-ended, narrow-bladed hand tool designed for fine finishing, pointing, and detailed work in lime plastering, traditional rendering, and conservation repair. With a small, flexible blade at each end—it allows the plasterer or mason to access tight angles, corners, reveals, and small voids, making it indispensable for decorative plastering, cornice repair, and localised patching in heritage or bespoke interior work.
Lightweight and easy to control, the small tool is a staple in the plasterer’s toolkit, particularly when working on restoration projects where attention to detail and material sensitivity are critical.
