RTC Comfort Grip Stainless Steel Tile Trowel — Built for Long Days and Big Tile

Spreading adhesive all day is where a cheap trowel punishes you — a blade that flexes and loses its notch profile means uneven coverage, and a hard handle means a sore hand by noon. RTC's best-selling Comfort Grip fixes both. A premium stainless-steel blade stays flat and holds its notch profile longer, while a cushioned, ergonomic handle fights fatigue through long spreads. Expanded handle-to-spine clearance gives you room for different grips, edge work, and tight corners.

It comes in multiple notch profiles — square, U-notch, V-notch, and Euro — to match the coverage the job calls for. Keep the notches clean and precise with the RTC Trowel Cleaning Brush, and add the Stumpy Joe Mini Trowel for the corners a full-size blade can't reach.

Why Tile Pros Choose It

• Holds its profile: Premium stainless blade stays flat and keeps its notch
• Rust-resistant: Stainless steel survives wet, daily use
• All-day comfort: Cushioned ergonomic grip reduces fatigue
• Better access: Expanded clearance for grips, edges, and corners
• Notch options: Square, U, V, and Euro to match your coverage
• Big-tile ready: Built for high-volume, large-format adhesives
• The one you'll reach for: There's a reason it's the best-seller

Pro tip: Match the notch to the tile — larger tile and uneven substrates want a deeper notch for full coverage. Clean the blade before the thinset flashes; dried buildup in the notches is the fastest way to ruin your coverage on the next spread.
