VARIO - Stainless steel trowel with adjustable handle

Vario-Grip Trowels by Karl Dahm – work ergonomically and protect your wrists

The Vario-Grip trowel by Karl Dahm is the innovative solution for ergonomic, low-fatigue work in the tiling and flooring trade. As the first trowel with an adjustable joint handle, it allows a natural hand position and significantly reduces strain on the wrist and forearm – even during long periods of use.

Ergonomic soft grip for healthy working

The specially developed Vario-Grip can be adjusted quickly and easily into 5 positions thanks to the integrated joint support:
