Overview
The MARSHALLTOWN 145D is a 16 inch magnesium masonry finishing tool with a brushed finish and a cushioned DuraSoft handle, weighing 1.5 pounds. Magnesium blades are typically chosen over steel because they glide more easily across curing concrete.
Marshalltown has built concrete and masonry hand tools for decades, and the 145D fits that lineage: a 16 inch magnesium blade paired with a DuraSoft grip meant to reduce hand fatigue during finishing work. At 1.5 pounds it stays light enough for extended use on a job site.
- 16 inch magnesium blade
- DuraSoft cushioned handle
- Brushed finish
- 1.5 pound weight
Who it's for
Suits concrete and masonry finishers who want a light, magnesium tool for smoothing surfaces before they set. Less relevant to anyone needing a heavier steel blade for more aggressive floating work.
Pros and cons
- Magnesium blade glides easily on wet concrete
- DuraSoft handle reduces hand fatigue
- Light at 1.5 pounds for extended use
- Magnesium wears faster than steel over time
Performance notes
Magnesium resists sticking to wet concrete better than steel, which is why finishers reach for it during early smoothing passes. The DuraSoft handle and brushed finish round out a tool built for repeated use rather than occasional jobs.
