Professional Concrete Finishing Float

The Marshalltown 145D magnesium float is built for professional concrete finishers who need a reliable tool for surface preparation before final troweling. Its lightweight magnesium blade reduces arm fatigue during extended use on large pours. The 16 inch length covers substantial area with each pass. A DuraSoft handle provides secure grip and comfort for all-day jobsite work.

Upgrade From Wood Or Worn Magnesium Floats

This float replaces basic wood floats that absorb water and warp, or older magnesium blades that have lost their true edge. The jump is worth it when daily production demands a consistently flat surface that speeds up the troweling stage. Magnesium construction resists corrosion and maintains its shape far longer than wood alternatives. The beveled ends prevent digging into fresh concrete during push-pull motions.

Magnesium Blade Limits On Air-Entrained Mixes

The 1/16 inch thick magnesium blade excels at smoothing standard mixes but can seal the surface too early on air-entrained concrete, trapping bleed water. It is not designed for initial strike-off or heavy material movement. The tool cannot replace a bull float for large slab leveling. Overworking the surface with this float may reduce slip resistance on exterior flatwork.

Questions about this item

What are the blade length and width of the Marshalltown 145D magnesium float?

The blade measures 16 inches long and 3 1/8 inches wide, with a thickness of 1/16 inch for smooth concrete finishing.

How is the DuraSoft handle attached, and what step do users often miss?

The 9-inch DuraSoft handle comes factory-mounted; users sometimes forget to wipe the magnesium blade clean before the first use to prevent drag.

When should the magnesium blade be replaced?

Replace the float when the beveled ends wear unevenly or the blade develops nicks that leave ridges in the concrete surface.
