A bull float is a vital concrete finishing tool used to smooth and level freshly poured concrete before it begins to set. It consists of a large, flat, rectangular blade—usually made of magnesium, aluminum, or wood—attached to a long handle. The bull float is pushed or pulled across the concrete surface to eliminate high spots, fill low areas, and embed aggregate just below the surface, creating a uniform and level finish. It is typically used after screeding and before final finishing with a trowel or broom. The long handle allows workers to reach across wide slabs without stepping onto the wet concrete. Bull floats are essential in the early stages of concrete finishing, helping reduce surface imperfections and preparing the slab for further treatment. Available in various lengths and styles, they are a must-have tool for concrete contractors aiming for smooth, durable, and professionally finished surfaces in large flooring projects.
