Primo Slant-Notch Trowel – 1/2 x 5/32 x 1/2 in. Notch, 4 x 11 in.
The Primo Slant-Notch Trowel is a tile and stone setting trowel used to comb adhesive to an even bed, with a Slant Notch measuring 1/2 x 5/32 x 1/2 in., on a 4 x 11 in. carbon steel blade. BOE builds it with a weld riveted shank and a soft grip handle, in the P2 Better Quality tier. A slant notch lays the ridge over at an angle so it collapses in one direction under the tile, rather than folding on itself.
The notch dimensions, not the handle, are what you are choosing here — a trowel with a different notch size lays a different amount of adhesive and is a different tool. Check the notch against the tile and the adhesive manufacturer's coverage requirement before ordering.
