Marshalltown Steel Spred-Kretes feature a heavy-duty blade constructed from 12-gauge cold-rolled steel and properly shaped to make spreading and placing concrete easy. This tool includes a sturdy steel ferrule that is securely welded to the blade to hold the contoured handle (sold separately) in place, which is superior in strength to a jam-type connector. The 20” x 4” blade is also available with or without a hook for rebar placement. Our Spread-Kretes are Made in the USA with Global Materials.
