Product Information
Full details
This 6-inch Bon Tool Concrete Edger is designed for masons and concrete finishers needing to create clean, defined edges on freshly poured concrete surfaces. Its primary benefit is its ability to produce a professional-looking radius along slabs, walkways, or steps. A key consideration is its fixed 45° angle, which may not suit all edge profiling needs.

FAQs
What is the primary function of this concrete edger?
The primary function is to create a clean, defined, 45° chamfered edge on freshly poured concrete surfaces, typically with a 3/4" lip.
What size concrete projects is this edger best suited for?
The 6" width makes it suitable for a wide range of projects, from small pathways to larger slabs, patios, and driveways where a defined edge is desired.
How do I maintain the stainless steel blade?
Clean the blade thoroughly with water immediately after each use to remove all concrete residue. Wipe it dry to prevent any potential spotting, although stainless steel is corrosion-resistant.
Can I use this edger for rounded edges?
No, this edger is designed specifically for a 45° angle (chamfered) edge. For rounded edges, a different type of edger tool would be required.
What does '16 gauge stainless steel' mean for durability?
16 gauge indicates the thickness of the steel. A lower gauge number means thicker steel. 16 gauge is a standard, durable thickness for this type of tool, offering good resistance to bending and wear.
Is this tool suitable for beginners?
Yes, with proper concrete finishing technique, this tool is effective for both experienced professionals and beginners looking to add a professional finish to their concrete work.
Troubleshooting
Concrete edge is uneven or inconsistent.
Ensure the concrete is at the correct stage of set (wet but firming). Maintain consistent pressure and speed while moving the edger along the form. Check that the 3/4" lip is making even contact with the formwork.
Edger seems to be dragging or sticking.
The concrete may be too wet or too stiff. Adjust your pouring or waiting time accordingly. Ensure the blade is clean of any hardened concrete residue.
Wood handle feels rough or splintered.
Lightly sand the handle with fine-grit sandpaper. Apply a coat of wood oil or sealant to protect and smooth the surface.
