We wanted to make our patio area large with a slab of concrete. The rain makes that area really muddy. After pouring the concrete, this float made leveling it out so much faster. In the past, we have used 2x4, which were not that efficient at the job. This large float makes even and level areas on wet-poured concrete. The tool washes off easily with a garden hose if you did not allow the concrete to dry. This tool also comes apart into pieces for easier storage. Must have a tool for larger areas of fresh-poured concrete.
