MARSHALLTOWN Beveled End Magnesium Hand Float
Stop fighting a float that digs in, drags or wears out your wrists before the slab is done. The MARSHALLTOWN Beveled End Magnesium Hand Float has beveled ends that improve balance and weight distribution, so the blade rides smoothly on the surface instead of catching and gouging. The lightweight magnesium blade reduces fatigue over long pours and gives you more knuckle clearance. It also works well with air-entrained concrete, helping you prepare a flat, even surface before troweling. With six blade lengths from 12" to 24" and four handle materials, you can match the float to the job and to your grip.
Best For
- Concrete finishers preparing slabs, sidewalks and patios before troweling
- Air-entrained concrete, where wood floats tend to drag and tear the surface
- Contractors and crews who float all day and need a lighter, better-balanced tool
- Finishers who want more knuckle clearance and less hand strain
- Experienced DIYers who want pro-grade results on driveways, pads and walkways
Magnesium vs. Other Hand Float Materials
| Material | Weight | Durability | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magnesium | Light | High; resists wear | Air-entrained concrete; general floating before troweling |
| Wood | Moderate; heavier when wet | Lower; can warp, split and absorb water | Non-air-entrained concrete; early floating and rough texture |
| Aluminum | Light | High; corrosion resistant | General finishing with a balance of weight and strength |
| Polymer/Resin | Light | High; moisture-resistant, won’t rot | Specific applications; easy cleanup |
