Concrete finishing trowels are used in finishing the surface of the concrete to the required smoothness. Troweling represents the last stage in the finishing process. This action helps compact the surface and adds to the quality and durability of the job. Finishing trowels are narrower and longer than plastering trowels and the blade is slightly convex. The standard width is 4" but the length may range from 12" to 20". The most popular sizes are 14" x 4" and 16" x 4" inches. Many finishers also use a fanning pattern for the final finishing which usually requires a narrower blade that is 3 to 3-1/2 inches wide. Ten rivets are used in the shorter trowels but as many as 16 are used in the longer sizes.
Concrete finishing trowels are available with a high carbon, blue, stainless or golden stainless steel blade. Blades on better finishing trowels are cross-ground to better hold their shape. Concrete finishing trowels are available with either a straight handle or a curved handle commonly called a California or Camel Back pattern. Each handle is machine fitted onto the milled shank. Tests prove it took 30% more torque to twist a MARSHALLTOWN handle than that of the nearest competitor because of MARSHALLTOWN'S "Diamond Shank" design. Finishing trowels are available with either wood or DuraSoft ® handles. Durasoft ® handles are resilient comfort grips which reduce fatigue.
