FAQs

What are the primary functions of the Bon Tool Blue Kangaroo Combo Screed?

The tool can be used for three main concrete finishing tasks: screeding (leveling wet concrete), floating (smoothing and consolidating the surface), and checking the levelness of the concrete with its built-in bubble level.

What material is the screed base made of?

The screed base is made of aluminum.

Can I replace parts on this screed?

Yes, replacement handle (#50-249) and replacement bracket (#50-250) are available separately.

How do I clean the screed after use?

After each use, clean the aluminum base with water to remove concrete residue. Dry it thoroughly with a cloth and store it in a dry place.

Is this tool suitable for beginners?

While a beginner can use it for basic screeding and leveling, mastering all functions for optimal floating may require some practice and experience with concrete finishing techniques.

What is the benefit of the ribbed handle?

The ribbed design provides an enhanced grip and better leverage, making the tool easier and more comfortable to control during use, especially when working with wet or dusty hands.

Troubleshooting

Screed not cutting concrete effectively

Ensure the sharp edge of the aluminum base is clean and free of hardened concrete. Check for any nicks or damage on the edge that may require sharpening or replacement of the base.

Uneven floating results

Verify that the rounded edge is being used correctly for floating. Ensure consistent pressure and angle during application. Clean the tool thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup.

Bubble level inaccurate or damaged

Check if the bubble level is properly seated. If the fluid has leaked or the vial is cracked, the bubble level may need to be replaced. Contact customer support for replacement bracket information.

Handle feels loose

Inspect the bracket connecting the handle to the base. If the bracket is bent or the screws are loose, tighten them or consider replacing the bracket (#50-250) if damaged.
