KRAFT TOOL CF257 3-1/2 x 18 in Redwood Concrete Float

Concrete Float for Smoothing

The Kraft Tool CF257 is a redwood hand float designed to smooth and finish fresh concrete surfaces. Its 3-1/2 by 18 inch blade covers broad areas quickly while the beveled end reaches into corners and tight spots. The 5/8 inch thickness provides rigidity for consistent pressure across the slab. It suits both professional masons and DIY renovators working on patios, paths or floors.

Check Handle Comfort and Workspace

Verify that the 18 inch length suits the scale of your pour and that you have room to manoeuvre the float without obstruction. Ensure you are comfortable gripping a plain wood handle for extended periods because the tool has no padded or ergonomic grip. Confirm the concrete mix and slump match hand-floating methods before starting the job.

Redwood Build and Daily Use

The redwood construction resists water absorption and warping, so the blade stays flat through repeated wetting and drying cycles. A beveled trailing edge reduces drag marks when you pull the float toward you. The simple one-piece design has no fasteners to loosen, making cleanup a matter of rinsing the wood and storing it dry.
