KRAFT TOOL CF259 Tapered Hand Darby

The KRAFT TOOL CF259 is a tapered hand darby designed for concrete finishing tasks. Its 45 in overall length and square mahogany blade suit professionals smoothing large flat surfaces. The 32 in wooden handle provides reach and leverage for standing operation. This tool is not for users needing a bull float or a smaller edging tool for detail work.

Mahogany Blade Capacity and Concrete Finish

The 3 1/2 in overall width tapers to 2 1/2 in at the tip, giving broad coverage that narrows for corners. A 0.75 in blade thickness adds stiffness to resist flexing across wet concrete. The broken-in feature means the mahogany surface is ready to produce a smooth finish immediately. It runs out on vertical formed surfaces where a hand trowel is required.

Wood Handle Build and Daily Handling

The mahogany blade and wooden handle are joined with included hardware for a solid connection. Mahogany resists moisture absorption and warping better than many softwoods used for darbies. The 32 in handle length lets a finisher work upright on slabs without excessive bending. The square blade shape prevents the tool from rolling when set down on the slab between passes.

Questions about this item

Will the 45 in darby reach across forms that my 32 in bull float already covers?

The 45 in overall length extends further than a 32 in handle, giving extra reach for wider slabs while the 32 in handle still provides comfortable two-handed control.

How do I know the mahogany blade is properly broken-in after the first few pours?

A properly broken-in blade shows a smooth, slightly darkened surface that glides over fresh concrete without dragging or leaving drag marks on the finish.

Does the box include the wood handle or must I supply my own 32 in handle?

The handle is included hardware; the darby ships with the 32 in wood handle already attached to the mahogany blade.
