Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Pick the 8 ft. featheredge for slab and sidewalk strike-off where longer spans speed the work, and the 6 ft. bar for narrow pours and wall plaster. Keep the working edge clean; dried mortar will dull the straightedge and ruin your flatness check. Magnesium bars dent more readily than steel, so avoid dropping them on form edges.
Lift long bars with a helper or with proper technique to avoid back strain, and keep fingers clear when striking off near form edges.
Choose a Marshalltown magnesium featheredge in 6 ft. or 8 ft. for true straightedge leveling.
