The Original Lute Blades and Handle Replacements
Control Hot Mix with Confidence — Built for Real-World Paving
The Slip Industries Serrated Asphalt Lute & Handles are the tool contractors reach for when precision, durability, and heat resistance matter most.
Designed for professional asphalt paving, patching, and infrared repairs, this lute gives crews consistent control over hot mix without excessive drag or fatigue.
Lightweight enough for all-day use, yet tough enough to stand up to high temperatures and hard jobsite demands, it quickly becomes the go-to lute once it’s put to work.
• Primary benefit: Serrated edge provides controlled material movement for smoother, more even asphalt finishes
• Ease of use: Lightweight, well-balanced design reduces fatigue during long paving or patching days
• USA-specific advantage: Handles high-heat summer paving and repeated use common across U.S. maintenance cycles
• Cost and time savings: Durable alloy and fully replaceable parts extend tool life and reduce replacement costs
• Professional results: Cleaner mat texture and better final appearance compared to basic lutes
How to Use the Slip Industries Serrated Asphalt Lute & Handles
Choose the correct handle length (6 ft or 7 ft) based on crew preference and working conditions.
Use the serrated edge to pull, feather, or distribute hot mix evenly across the work area.
Apply steady, controlled pressure to avoid overworking the asphalt surface.
Flip to the smooth side when needed for final leveling or touch-up passes.
Clean the blade after use to prevent material buildup and extend tool life.
Using a serrated asphalt lute is like using the right trowel for concrete — the correct edge gives you better control with less effort. The serrations help manage material flow without digging in or dragging excess mix.

FAQ
Why choose a serrated lute over a smooth-only blade?
The serrated edge helps move and level hot mix more efficiently, especially during initial spreading, while the smooth side is ideal for final finishing.
Can this lute handle high-temperature asphalt?
Yes. Slip Industries uses a proven alloy designed to withstand higher heat and harder use than standard lutes, making it ideal for summer paving and infrared repairs.
Is the 36-inch blade too large for patching work?
The 36-inch width is excellent for larger patches and paving runs. Slip Industries also offers 24-inch and 30-inch options for tighter areas.
What handle length should I choose?
Most crews prefer the 6 ft handle for general paving, while the 7 ft handle provides added reach for wider mats or larger repair areas.
How does this compare to lower-cost asphalt lutes?
Lower-cost lutes often warp, bend, or wear quickly under heat. The TLS 36 is built for longevity, with replaceable parts and reinforced bracing to handle daily professional use.
