Gator Glide™ Walking Floats

Gator Glide™ Walking Floats are a light-weight alternative to concrete hand floats and come complete with your choice of Ultra Twist Pivoting Head, Mini Adjustable Leveling Head, or Fixed Adjustable Head. Also choose from round end or square end.

These handy tools allow the concrete finisher to float the concrete at a distance where you wouldn't normally be able to reach with a simple hand float, they are useful when finishing around obstacles such as pipes, drains and poles.

The Ultra Twist Pivoting Head allows the user to adjust 360 degrees and change angle without hassle. A simple twist of the pole unlocks the head so you can adjust, then simply twist to re-lock. The Gator Glide Ultra Twist Pivoting Head accepts both 1-3/4" and 1-3/8" snap button poles(poles sold separately).

The Mini Adjustable Head is a smaller and lighter-weight version of our Gator Glide™ Adjustable Leveling Head but offers the same rigid construction and anti-backlash design which eliminates blade flop and wandering. When you turn your handle to adjust the bracket responds immediately. This head accepts 1-3/8" snap button poles only (poles sold separately).

Our Fixed Adjustable Head operates with a simple wing nut and accepts both 1-3/4" and 1-3/8" snap button poles (poles sold separately).

Concrete Tools & Accessories

The Distinction is Clear.

Not all concrete tools are made equal.

Gator Tools are unique because we give special attention to the detail, design and construction of every tool that we manufacture.

Count the ways:

1. Extra stiffening ribs that run the full length of our bull floats, channel floats, walking trowels and concrete placers.

2. The "Diamond XX" pattern which runs the full-length of our screeds giving them superior resistance to bending, twisting, and warping.

3. The "Triple R (Rivet) Technology" in our Ultra-Flex Trowels, which eliminates cross grinding marks and keeps the rivets away from the work surface as the blade wears.

4. Gator Tools is committed to producing products with the highest regard for the satisfaction of our customer's needs and requirements, while maintaining the highest level of quality and integrity.

5. Gator Tools offers an unprecedented level of innovation. With ingenious design and attention to the extreme precision that concrete finishing demands, you will find our tools truly stand apart.

Why stop at five?
There are infinite reasons why the distinction is clear.

What Is GatorLoy™, Anyway?

What is GatorLoy™,
Anyway?

Gator Tools are made from our own proprietary alloy which makes them heavier, stronger, and built to last longer. GatorLoy™ is a light-weight, non-ferrous alloy which offers superior strength and hardness.
This material takes all the qualities of the different materials used in concrete finishing tools on the market today and wraps it all into one high quality and durable material.
Harder and stronger than extruded magnesium, cast aluminum and cast bronze, it exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in a wide-variety of environments.

The properties it exhibits are:

Excellent wear resistance
Harder and stronger than many concrete tools
Recommended for air entrained concrete
Reduces surface closure and the trapping of bleed water

Why choose GatorLoy™?

A common staple in most of the Gator Tool finishing line, GatorLoy™ provides a consistent finish during each stage of concrete finishing from placing, leveling and smoothing to edging and grooving.
Our tools are non-painted, naturally finished, broken in, and ready for use. Designed for air entrained concrete means our tools work to effortlessly embed the concrete aggregates while floating the crème to the surface for a near-perfect, defect-free finish every time.

Heavier is better?

Lighter + less expensive does NOT = better.
Concrete weighs up to 150 pounds per cubic foot... does that sound like a situation best suited for a lighter tool? We certainly don't think so.

Less expensive materials means a lighter tool, so what are you really getting?
Wouldn't it be great if you spent less time replacing your tools and more time working with a dependable tool designed to last longer, ultimately saving you time and money? Our extraordinary attention to product excellence, customer satisfaction, integrity, and stringent manufacturing requirements ensure that all of our customers receive very professional and high-quality tools at a fair price. This is not too much to ask of your tool supplier.

Our tools are built heavier so they do the work for you.
Finishing concrete is no easy job, we all know this. It's strenuous, it takes precision, and it's physically demanding. Concrete finishers work hard to quickly and efficiently pour, place, and finish correctly the first time around. Unfortunately in this business there is no do-over. Every finisher needs heavy duty concrete tools that can stand up to the demanding conditions of concrete and help you get the job done right.

No job is too big or small for Gator Tools

Gator Tools is committed to American manufacturing and the American worker.

Made in the U.S.A. means something to us. It means the support of American manufacturing, the American worker, and the American economy.

When we say Made in the U.S.A., we mean it. All Gator Tools are designed, fabricated, assembled, and shipped from Fall River, Wisconsin.

Find your edge.

One tool, dual purpose. Float while you edge!

GatorLoy™ edgers exhibit all of the qualities you would expect from a float and an edger. Not only do they provide a smooth, rounded edge as you glide your tool around the concrete slab forms, they also embed the concrete aggregates while floating the crème to the surface leaving it open and unsealed, allowing bleed water to escape.

Our ultra tough, ultra long lasting nickel satin chromium edgers are made from a corrosion resistant alloy, built tough like the people who use them!

With a wide variety of sizes and radiuses available, we’re sure to have the one necessary for your job.

If choosing a hand edger, you will experience our Ultra Grip™ rubberized tool handles, designed with user comfort in mind. Lightweight and nonslip, they offer a superior grip while reducing hand fatigue.

Let's (Ultra) Groove!

Take your concrete to the next level with the

Gator Glide™ Ultra Groove™ System

With such a wide variety of sizes and dimensions to choose from you'll be sure to find the one that's right for your job!

Visit our website for all available sizes and dimensions.

Square End with Fixed Adjustable Head

Round End with Ultra Twist Head

The Gator Glide™ Ultra Groove™ System is an innovative tool that is a less expensive alternative to saw-cutting. Each tool is designed with a tight radius to achieve that sawcut look, allowing concrete finishers to cut on wet concrete rather than coming back after the concrete has cured. The Ultra Groove™ features front and rear aiming sights for a straight line every time. This concrete jointer tool comes in a variety of blade lengths and specifically designed widths of four and six inches to achieve a perfectly balanced weight specifically designed for wet concrete cutting. The groover bit itself comes in industry standard sizes of 1/2" to 2" deep.

Because each finisher has their own preference and finishing style, your choices include either round end or square end. Made from GatorLoy™, these blades float the concrete while placing your concrete joint. They are unpainted, naturally finished, broken in and ready for use. Recommended for air-entrained concrete, these tools don't prematurely seal the concrete but keep it open allowing the bleed water to escape. This grooving system includes your choice of either the Fixed Adjustable Head or Ultra Twist Pivoting Head which fit our 1-3/4" Snap Button Poles.

The distinction is clear.
Not all concrete tools are made equal.

Gator Tools are unique because we give special attention to the detail, design and construction of every Gator Tool.

Below are a few examples of the sharp distinctions that set us apart:

1. Extra stiffening ribs that run the full length of our bull floats, channel floats, and concrete placers.

2. The "Diamond XX" pattern which runs the full-length of our screeds giving them superior resistance to bending, twisting, and warping.

3. The "Triple R (Rivet) Technology" in our Ultra-Flex Trowels, which eliminates cross grinding marks and keeps the rivets away from the work surface as the blade wears.

Gator Tools is committed to producing products with the highest regard for the satisfaction of our customer's needs and requirements, while maintaining the highest level of quality and integrity.

Protect your investment
Featuring Gator-Skin tool protector, conditioner, and lubricant!
Keep your tools like new! This is great for lubricating moving parts on hand tools, walking tools, and power tools. It also prevents concrete from sticking and protects against rust and corrosion!

A Quick Guide To Concrete Admixtures

2017-04-10T16:03:00.002-05:00

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

Think all concrete tools are the same? Here's how Gator Concrete Tools are different!

View this email in your browser

Concrete admixtures, also known as supplementary concreting materials, are manufactured chemicals or natural additives used to enhance and give special properties to wet or cured concrete.

Below will explain the difference between chemical and mineral admixtures and what each of their benefits are so that you can gain a general knowledge of which kind you might want to deal with during your next concrete project.

Not all concrete tools are the same.

Gator Tools are unique in that extra-special attention and detail are put into the design and construction of every Gator Tool.

Gator Tools are built tough and built to last longer. Whether it be (just to highlight a few)...

1. Extra stiffening ribs that run the full length of our bull floats, channel floats, and concrete placers.

2. The "Diamond XX" pattern which runs the full-length of our screeds giving them superior resistance to bending, twisting, and warping.

OR

3. The "Triple R (Rivet) Technology" in our Ultra-Flex Trowels, which eliminates cross grinding marks and keeps the rivets away from the work surface as the blade wears.

Gator Tools is committed to producing products with the highest regard to the satisfaction of our customer's needs and requirements, while maintaining the highest level of quality and integrity.

Chemical Admixtures

Air Entraining Admixtures:

These liquid chemical admixtures are added to concrete during mixing to create minuscule air bubbles within the concrete and are used for exterior jobs such as parking lots, patios, sidewalks and driveways which are exposed to patterns of freezing and thawing. The higher level of entrained air enhances the concrete's resistance to such conditions.
Wet concrete also benefits from air entraining by allowing less bleeding and segregation while improving the concrete's workability.

Water Reducers & Superplasticizers (High Range Water Reducers):

Water reducers serve two means, one being to lessen the water content and enhance the durability and strength, the second being to increase slump by means other than adding additional water to the mixture.
Off-setting the use of water during hot weather concreting makes them very useful.
Superplasticizers can reduce the water content of your concrete by 12-40% while still retaining slump.
These admixtures yield a significantly higher durability and resilience for jobs with more strict specifications

Retardants and Accelerators:

Concrete retardants are typically an ingredient of water reducers and are used during high temperatures to slow the setting of the concrete so that more time is allowed to finish before setting.
Accelerators decrease the setting time while still yielding an enhanced strength early on in the setting of the concrete, usually during colder temperatures.
They are also used when the job demands faster finishing such as on road work that needs to be opened to traffic quickly or jobs that entail rapid form removal.

Mineral Admixtures

To better understand mineral admixtures it helps to understand what a pozzolan is:

a pozzolan is a hard, nonreactive, colorless chemical compound which is the principal make-up of sandstone and other rocks.
natural pozzolans are typically of volcanic origin while artificial pozzolans, for example, can be produced as a byproduct of coal-fired electricity production
Alone they do not possess the ability to become cement but when introduced to water, calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) and the correct temperature, can attain the ability to form cement.

Fly Ash:

Fly ash is a by-product of coal production and is an environmentally safe option with a long list of benefits when used as an admixture in concrete finishing
It is of pozzolan properties and if used correctly can replace up to 50% of the cement being used
These benefits include but are not limited to:
- higher strength and lowered permeability
- more durability and ease of workability while minimizing water usage and leaving a refined finish
- minimizes bleeding and lessens slump while decreasing segregation
- fly ash is very economical, it is low in cost while still greatly improving the finished product

Other Natural Pozzolans:

The use of natural pozzolans dates back to 2000 B.C., they were introduced to North America in the beginning stages of the 1900s
Commonly used today are materials that are processed and heat treated and then processed again to a fine sand-like powder. These include metakaolin (smaller than cement particles but larger than silica fume), calcined shale, and calcined clay, silica fume and fly ash
one benefit of using natural pozzolans is that they enhance durability and control heat rise in large concrete masses
They increase opposition to sulfate attack while being among the only material known to diminish the reaction that causes concrete cancer (alkali–silica reaction). Concrete Cancer is a reaction that happens among the alkaline cement and the reactive silica that are found in most aggregates. This reaction causes swelling in the concrete which leads to spalling and loss of strength in the concrete which eventually leads to the concrete failing
They can replace up to 40% of cement when mixed properly and used correctly which makes them a very economic and environmentally safe option
All pozzolans are environmentally friendly because they can reduce the amount of cement needed. Producing one ton of cement creates roughly one ton of carbon dioxide compared with no carbon dioxide in the production of fly ash, for example.

IN CONCLUSION:
By implementing the use of admixtures in your next project you can reap all the benefits that will positively affect the quality of your concrete work, your pocketbook, and the environment.

By using these admixtures correctly not only will it yield a more durable and longer lasting finished product but it will allow the job to be done more efficiently because of the heightened ease of work-ability that admixtures offer.

Your budget will benefit because admixtures are less costly and can not only replace up to 50% of concrete but they can also save a batch that may have been ruined due to any number of factors, such as extreme temperatures.

Lastly, we all want to help the environment and by using admixtures in your next project you can take your part in helping to keep concreting GREEN.

Hot Weather Concreting

2017-03-22T15:34:00.001-05:00

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

View this email in your browser

Chill out!

Hot weather doesn't have to leave you cold!

Do you face the the same problems every summer when the sun shines and the heat rises? Hot weather can cause concrete to be weaker, it can heighten the potential for uncontrolled cracking and it's durability will be compromised if you don't handle the situation correctly.

Why is hot weather a problem in the first place?

Concrete hydrates as it sets, this is an exothermic reaction and generates heat. When the concrete is already a higher temperature than the ideal temp of less than 80 degrees and is exposed to elements like hot sun, humidity and wind this process is accelerated. The real issue here is the temperature of the concrete, not the temperature of the air.

Crystals grow around the aggregate particles when cement hydrates and absorbs water. When the concrete temperature is too high those crystals form too rapidly without a chance for them to grow strong.

The strength will seem to be sufficient for the first 28 days but then it declines markedly. For example, concrete that is 18 degrees higher than the ideal when poured will have a 10% decrease in compressive strength after the initial 28 days.

Slump diminishes rapidly as cement sets in hot weather, and adding more water when mixing is necessary however, by doing so causes the concrete's strength to diminish. In colored concrete it can even lead to variations in color when the amount of water added to one batch is significantly more than the next batch.

No job too big or small for Gator Tools

What steps can I take to ensure properly finished concrete in extreme temperatures?

If temperatures are over 90 degrees precautions need to be taken to ensure your concrete sets correctly.

Getting concrete that is as cool as possible is a priority, preferably less than 80 degrees. Being the main ingredient in concrete, aggregate should be kept in a cool place and out of the sun. Lowering the concrete temperature can be as easy as using cold water or even ice in place of water.

There are a few other simple steps to take when concreting in hot weather:

cooling down concrete materials before mixing
using cold water and even ice for mixing concrete
set-retarding admixtures can be used if done correctly
putting up shelter from the wind and sun
misting and fogging
placing and finishing as quickly as possible
having extra hands to help finish more quickly
placing after dark when the heat has gone down or in the morning before the sun rises

Floating Concrete? Your Guide to Choosing the Right Tool.

Floating concrete: The guide to help you choose the right tool.

View this email in your browser

FLOATING CONCRETE?

Channel Float or Bull Float,
Round vs Square

How do you choose?

Use this guide to help you choose your next Gator Channel Float or Bull Float and when to choose round or square ends.

Channel Float or Bull Float?

Bull floats and Channel floats appear similar, so what's the difference? When would you choose one over the other?

Basically it comes down to the type of application and the amount of concrete being finished.

First lets identify the similarities and differences between the two:

Gator Bull Floats and Channel Floats both have four stiffening ribs which run the full-length of the blade keeping it straight and rigid, exhibiting excellent stability.

Floats of all kinds are used to cut high spots, fill low spots and voids, while leveling and smoothing the concrete. The floating process also embeds the concrete aggregates while bringing the concrete mortar or paste to the surface.

Floating should be done immediately after screeding.

Visit Gator Floats

Bull Floats

Bull floats are available in blade lengths of 24" to 60" and come in handy when the area is too large to use a darby but not large enough for a channel float. The ideal application for bull floats is for finishing areas of concrete such as driveways, patios, walkways and sidewalks.

Shop Bull Floats

Channel Floats

Channel floats come in blade lengths of 4 ft - 10 ft and are best suited for larger areas of concrete such as large driveways, warehouse floors and roads. Channel floats have higher side channels compared to bull floats which create stability and can handle the excess concrete being pushed. These types of applications generally require extremely flat and level surfaces which are judged by "F" numbers, often referred to as FF/FL. The higher the "F" number the more flat and level the floor. Gator Channel Floats are an excellent tool to achieve these strict "F" number requirements and are equipped with two extra stiffening ribs within the channel resulting in a straight and stable float.

Shop Channel Floats

Round vs Square

What is ultimately comes down to is user preference. Round end finishing tools are less likely to leave finishing lines or lap marks in the concrete and are generally easier to use. They also are known to be easier to use in tight spaces.

Getting your tools to the work site has never been easier

Channel Floats and Bull Floats are only one part of the equation. Their use requires an Adjustable Leveling Head Bracket and poles. With so many finishing tools to transport to and from the job site, make transporting your floating tools a little bit easier with the Gator Glide Float and Trowel Kit.

Each kit includes

Bull Float, Channel Float, or Walking (Fresno) Trowel in the length and shape of your choice
Four 1-3/4" x 6'(ft) Snap Button Extension Poles
Gator Glide Adjustable Leveling Head Float and Trowel Bracket
Heavy Duty PVC Carrying Case

This tool really is the fastest most economical way to get tools to the work site not to mention, items sold separately simply cannot beat the price of our kits which are sold as one item.

The Gator Tool Difference

When you pick up a Gator Tool there's no denying the quality and workmanship that goes into each and every one of these tools

Gator Tools consistently provides the same great tools produced only from the very best high-quality materials you expect from a manufacturer dedicated to products proudly and only made in the USA!

Stand out from the rest and stand up for American Manufacturing and American Made Concrete Tools

Gator Concrete Tools ARE Heavier, and that's a great thing. Our tools are built heavier, built stronger, and built to last longer.
Finishing concrete is no easy job, we know this, you know this. It's strenuous, it takes precision, and it's physically demanding. Concrete finishers are hard workers who must work quickly and efficiently to pour, place, and finish correctly the first time around, unfortunately in this business there is no "do-over". Every finisher needs heavy duty concrete tools that can stand up to the demanding conditions of concrete and help you get the job done right.

Lighter + less-expensive does NOT = better.
Concrete weighs up to 150 pounds per cubic foot... doesn't sound like a situation best suited for a lighter tool, does it? We certainly don't think so.

Built Stronger, built to last longer

Gator Tools very own 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. View our comparison charts here.

Wouldn't it be great if you spent less time replacing your tools and more time working with a dependable tool designed to last longer, ultimately saving you time and money? Our extraordinary attention to product excellence, customer satisfaction, integrity, and stringent manufacturing requirements ensure that all of our customers receive the very professional and high-quality tools at a great and fair price. This is not too much to ask of your tool supplier.
