Masonry Float for Concrete Finishing

The Marshalltown 144 is a 16 in. redwood concrete float built for smoothing and leveling fresh concrete. Its square end design helps achieve a flat, even surface on larger pours. The tool is made from redwood with an 11/16 in. thickness for rigidity during use. It arrives new and ready for the job site.

Suited for Flatwork, Not Edging

This float suits masons and contractors who need a straight, wide blade for striking off and floating slabs. The 9 in. handle with a 1 1/4 in. diameter gives a secure two-handed grip. Buyers who need a rounded end for curved work or a magnesium blade for lighter weight should look at a different style. It is a dedicated flatwork tool, not a finishing trowel.

16 Inch Redwood Blade Decides Fit

The single specification that decides fit is the 16 in. blade length combined with the redwood material. That size covers ground efficiently on driveways, patios and floors. The .97 weight reflects the dense wood construction. If the project calls for a shorter float or a different blade material, this model will not match the requirement.

Questions about this item

What surface-preparation tools do I need before using the 16 in. redwood float?

A screed or straightedge to level the wet concrete and a bull float for initial flattening are the usual companions before the 144 float finishes the surface.

Can I keep using my magnesium float for the first pass and switch to the 144 for the final finish?

Yes, the magnesium float works well for early floating while bleed water is present, and the 16 in. redwood float follows cleanly for the smoother, denser finish pass.

How do I confirm the 144 float is performing correctly after the first few strokes?

The surface should show a uniform, close-textured paste with no visible aggregate drag marks, and the 11/16 in. thick blade should glide without gouging the slab.
