SUPERFLEX® The Professional Edge REFINA SUPERFLEX finishing trowels are produced with premium 0.4mm and 0.5mm gauge stainless steel blades. The SUPERFLEX trowels are designed with an intermediate plate, allowing for a two-step flex profile of the blade which helps to maintain a straight working edge whilst requiring less pressure than a traditional riveted trowel. They are a trade favourite due to their durability, wear profile and short break in period. SUPERFLEX-1 0.4mm 125mm | 5" Standard GAUGE: WIDTH: BRACKET: The original and best-selling SUPERFLEX is fitted with a flexible stainless steel 0.4mm blade that provides the most flexible specialist finishing trowel in our range.
