The Big Blue Float MBW BBG72 1800mm is a high-performance concrete finishing float engineered for large-scale industrial and commercial applications. With a blade length of 1800mm (72 inches), it is specifically designed for maximum coverage, improving efficiency and finish quality across expansive concrete surfaces.
Manufactured from premium blue carbon steel, the BBG72 provides the perfect balance between flexibility and strength. The blade's rounded edges prevent gouging, while its 300mm width ensures consistent surface contact. A heavy-duty magnesium knucklehead bracket allows for quick and precise pitch adjustments, optimising usability across various angles and concrete curing stages.

Q: Can the blade be replaced?
A: Yes, replacement blades are available separately. Ensure compatibility with MBW mounting standards.
Q: How do I adjust the pitch mid-use?
A: The magnesium bracket includes a knucklehead control system, which allows for quick on-the-fly angle adjustments without tools.
