Tried a 4 foot magnesium bull float on a big garage slab after using a 3 foot aluminum one for years.

The extra foot of reach meant I could stay on the forms longer and the weight helped close the surface way better. I'm thinking of switching for all my big pours now, but my partner says the aluminum is faster to handle. Which one do you guys prefer for a 40 by 60 slab?

Magnesium is lighter than aluminum, actually.

Yeah it's wild how many common things are lighter than they seem. Like I always thought my old laptop was heavy until I picked up a new one lol.
