Image
Concrete finishing is an art that separates the amateurs from the true craftsmen. Every professional finisher knows the difference between a smooth, glass-tight slab and a wavy, uneven mess often comes down to one thing — the tools in your hands . From the legendary Marshalltown finishing trowels and hand mags to Kraft Tool edgers , jointers , and floats , the right setup determines how efficient, clean, and consistent your finish turns out.
