Marshalltown 16 x 3-1/8 Inch Magnesium Hand Float Round Wood Handle Beveled Ends Concrete Finishing Tool Made in USA 14624

Achieve the Perfect Pre-Finish: The Marshalltown Professional Magnesium Hand Float

Prepare your concrete slabs for a flawless final troweling with the Marshalltown 14624 16-Inch Magnesium Hand Float. Manufactured in the USA from the finest lightweight magnesium, this tool is engineered to glide effortlessly over air-entrained concrete. Unlike wood floats that can drag or seal the surface unevenly, magnesium creates a smoother finish while effectively bringing the "cream" (cement paste) to the surface. The blade features precision beveled ends, which provide superior balance and weight distribution, preventing the edges from digging in and gouging your wet concrete as you work.

Designed for the professional who appreciates the feel of traditional tools, this model comes equipped with a classic round wood handle. The smooth, natural wood offers a comfortable, secure grip that reduces hand fatigue during long pours. Marshalltown ensures longevity by securing the handle with torque pad screws that will not back out or loosen over time. Whether you are floating a sidewalk, driveway, or patio, this tool delivers the durability and performance required to level ridges and fill voids before your final finish.

Specifications

Pro-Tip: Use a magnesium float immediately after screeding and bull floating, but before any steel troweling. Magnesium slightly opens the pores of the concrete, allowing trapped bleed water to evaporate. If you use a steel trowel too early, you seal the surface prematurely, trapping water underneath which can cause the top layer of concrete to blister or delaminate later.
