Speed Hawk

ECOLE
McFarland, Wis.

Speed Hawk
Faster and easier than any other Hawk on the market, ECOLE introduces the Speed Hawk. One side allows for tuck-pointing, stucco, plaster and etc. Then, simply spin around to the other side, which allows you to fit in those hard-to-get areas. With rounded edges and narrower base, this hawk can get in and out of areas that took two or four tools before. With an angled, round-edged front, running around stones into gaps is easy. With its long, flat back, spin it around, and long walls go fast, too.
