Our tools are created for everyday use by the professional cement finisher, brick mason, asphalt laborer. While concrete finishing tools don’t vary significantly in design from manufacturer to manufacturer, they can vary in quality. The finishing tools you choose will also depend on the type of decorative concrete you’re placing (such as stamped concrete versus an overlay) as well as the characteristics of the concrete.
Despite all the high-tech power trowels, screeds, vibrators, and other super-charged equipment available today to facilitate placement and finishing of concrete, simple no-frills hand tools for finishing are far from obsolete. To smooth and level small residential slabs, perform delicate detail work, blend in surface color, or maneuver in tight areas, such as step surfaces or next to walls, there is no substitute for a trusty handheld float or trowel.
