Finishing trowel

摘要

A finishing trowel 11 is formed with a flat blade 13 having a rib 88 affixed to a top surface which has a post 17 extending upwardly from it. A tang 21 extends laterally from the top of the post which engages with a mounting hole 39 in a handle 19. The mounting hole is surrounded by a raised deformable annular ring 45 which abuts a planar surface (101, fig 11) on the post. On mounting of the handle to the tang the annular ring is deformed to seal the proximal end of the hollow handle.
