Gator: Takes a Bite out of Magnesium, Why you should be using Gator Concrete Tools

Are you one of the many Gator Concrete Tools users that say our tools are heavier?

Well that's because they ARE! 

And that's precisely why YOU should be using Gator Concrete Tools!


Gator Concrete Tools are Built Heavier, Built Stronger, and Built to Last Longer!

Built Heavier...

Finishing concrete is no easy feat as any concrete finisher will tell you: it's strenuous, it takes precision, and it's physically demanding.  Finishers must work quickly and effectively to pour, place, and finish correctly the first time around, there is no do-over.  Gator Concrete Tools are built heavier, and contrary to what you might believe a lighter tool isn't better, heavier is better.  Gator Tools has consistently delivered to our customers the same great product over and over again and you won't see our tools getting any lighter!  When working with a mix that can weigh up to 150 pounds per cubic foot or over 4000 pounds per cubic yard, of course you want a tool that is heavier and can withstand the demanding job of concrete finishing - simply put: let your concrete tool do the work!  Gator Tools are heavier because they are made from a high- strength, quality alloy, where there is definitely no skimping in tool material. Lighter and Cheaper is NOT better.

Built Stronger...

Gator Tools proprietary alloy GatorLoy, is a non-ferrous alloy, which offers superior strength and hardness, and exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in a wide-variety of environments

  • Excellent wear resistance
  • Reduces the trapping of bleed water
  • Harder and stronger than many common concrete tools
  • Recommended for air entrained concrete
  • Reduces surface closure
Take a look at the charts below and see how Gator Tools alloy GatorLoy, compares to the material used in some of the tools you may be used to using, you'll be surprised by the results!

Built to Last Longer...

Remember when we told you lighter and cheaper were NOT better? Well wouldn't it be great if you spent more time getting the job done and less time replacing your tools? More time getting the job done, and less time replacing tools means more money in your pocket! What if we told you that every Gator Tool has such excellent wear resistance that you need to replace them less often.  Sounds great doesn't it? Well it's true, Gator Tools are built heavier, built stronger, and built to last longer! Gator Tools extraordinary attention to product excellence, customer satisfaction, and stringent manufacturing requirements ensure that all of our customers receive professional and quality tools at a great price, which we know you expect.
