Overview

The Bull 1128-SNMZ is an aluminum magnesium masonry float built as a 48 inch by 8 inch aluminum board with a matching 48 inch handle. At 18.61 pounds, it is one of the heavier tools in this group, reflecting its large-format design for concrete finishing rather than hand-trowel detail work.

It carries a 4.6-star rating across 46 reviews, with 100 units bought in the last month. Priced at 125.99 dollars, it is the most expensive item in this batch, positioning it as a purpose-built contractor tool rather than a budget hand trowel.

The aluminum magnesium construction is chosen for bull floats because it resists sticking to fresh concrete better than steel, and the long handle lets a finisher work a slab while standing. No blade thickness or handle diameter spec is listed beyond the board and handle dimensions given.
