Marshalltown BI142D 12" x 3-1/8" Broken-In Extruded Magnesium Hand Float - DuraSoft® Handle
The Marshalltown BI142D is a compact 12" x 3-1/8" extruded magnesium hand float featuring a factory pre-shaped, broken-in blade surface. Packing a highly agile weight of just 1.0 lb, this flatwork tool smooths ridges and opens concrete pores in tight spaces without gouging. Outfitted with an ergonomic curved DuraSoft® handle.
Bring immediate flatwork precision to confined layouts without the hassle of a tool break-in phase. The Marshalltown BI142D Extruded Magnesium Hand Float delivers professional leveling control in a highly agile, shortened profile.
Measuring 12 inches by 3-1/8 inches, this hand float is specifically scaled for small concrete pads, step treads, and restrictive form layouts where a standard 16-inch tool feels cumbersome. Instead of requiring weeks of daily use to naturally wear down sharp factory margins, the BI142D features a factory-ground, pre-shaped blade surface. The subtle radius on the front and back edges ensures the float slides effortlessly across fresh cream rather than digging into or tracking the mud. Extruded from a high-tensile magnesium alloy, this compact tool carries an operational footprint of only 1.0 lb, keeping hand fatigue to an absolute minimum while giving you sharp tactile feedback from the slab matrix.
Factory Broken-In Blade Surface: Pre-worn and ground along both margins to prevent sharp edges from tearing or tracking fresh concrete.
Agile 12-Inch Length: Compact footprint navigates small concrete slabs, step risers, utility pads, and restricted formwork effortlessly.
Ultra-Lightweight Extruded Magnesium: Durable magnesium alloy body weighs only 1.0 lb, providing crisp feedback from the concrete matrix without arm strain.
Pore Opening Control: Smoothly opens surface pores to release bleed water and prep fresh concrete prior to final troweling passes.
Ergonomic DuraSoft® Cushion Grip: Fitted with Marshalltown's signature soft DuraSoft handle to dampen vibration and prevent slippage in wet finishing conditions.
Small Concrete Pads & Footings: The ideal float size for equipment pads, HVAC slabs, sidewalk patches, and tight utility pours.
Stair Treads & Step Work: Perfectly proportioned to level and float concrete step surfaces and narrow form landings.
Restricted Form Cavities: Easily reaches into tight corners and narrow bays where 16-inch floats catch or bind.
