PLASTERING TROWEL INGCO (HPT28138)
The INGCO HPT28138 is a professional-grade plastering trowel from INGCO Tools (a leading budget brand for hand tools in construction and DIY markets). It's designed for smoothing, spreading, and finishing plaster, cement, stucco, or mortar on walls, ceilings, and surfaces during renovations, plastering jobs, or masonry work. The "HPT28138" code indicates the Hand Plastering Tool series, 280x130mm size. This rectangular flat trowel features a durable blade for even application and an ergonomic handle to reduce fatigue—ideal for both pros and homeowners. Based on 2025 data, it's praised for its rust-resistant construction and value, often bundled in sets or sold singly. Note: Variants like HPT28138S (stainless steel) or HPTT28138S (toothed) exist for specialized tasks, but HPT28138 is the standard smooth blade model.
It's not a powered tool but complements electric sanders (like your prior YKing drywall sander) for finishing. If this is a specific regional variant, it matches global INGCO specs.
