Professional Concrete Float for Surface Preparation
The Marshalltown 06150LRW magnesium float is built for masons and contractors who need to level concrete, plaster or similar materials before final troweling. Its 16 inch blade and square end cover broad areas quickly while the 1 1/4 inch wood handle gives a secure grip during extended use. The 9 inch handle length adds leverage for consistent pressure across the slab.
Upgrade from Smaller or Worn Floats
Switching to this 16 inch magnesium blade makes sense when a shorter float leaves ridges or when an older tool has lost its flat edge. The larger surface area reduces passes on wide pours and the rigid 1/2 inch thickness resists flex that can create low spots. Teams working on full-size slabs or walls will notice the speed gain immediately.
Limits of Magnesium on Large Pours
Magnesium floats excel at early floating but they are not designed for final burnishing or power-trowel replacement. On very large decks the fixed 16 inch width still requires multiple overlapping passes, and the wood handle can absorb moisture over time if not dried between jobs. For high-production finishing a ride-on machine remains the next step up.

Questions about this item
What are the exact blade dimensions of the 16-inch magnesium float?
The blade measures 16 inches long, 3-1/2 inches wide, and 1/2 inch thick with a square end.
How is the wood handle attached, and what is the common fitting error?
The 9-inch wood handle with a 1-1/4 inch diameter is factory-mounted; the common error is applying excessive force that cracks the magnesium blade.
How do I maintain the magnesium blade after repeated concrete work?
Scrape wet concrete off immediately, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and store flat to prevent the thin 1/2-inch blade from warping.
