The trowel is important because it is ironic, foreshadowing and a pretty good pun all at the same time. It is ironic in that Montresor intends to use the trowel, not to prove to Fortunato that he is a Freemason, but to build the wall that will seal Fortunato's doom in the cellar later on. It foreshadows the doom of Fortunato because it is the first sign that Montresor has things hidden that he would not normally be walking around with. This raises suspicions that Montresor has something planned for Fortunato. It is a pun because it is a play on the word mason being used in the sense of a bricklayer and as a Freemason. Montresor produces it as a sign that he is a 'mason' because Fortunato had asked Montresor for a sign that he was a 'mason' in the sense of the brotherhood of Freemasons. Even Fortunato had a laugh at that.
