Come-a-Long

Length - 01:56

The Come-A-Long is used to push or pull concrete into place along the screed board or formwork edge. Concrete finishers may also use a square point shovel, instead of a Come-a-long, to place the concrete before a screed is used. However, never use a shovel to lift the concrete; this is much too strenuous on your back. Rubber safety gloves and eye protection should be worn whenever you are placing concrete. Also, concrete is very caustic and will burn your skin. Use the Come-A-Long to move concrete from the high areas of the slab to the low areas to create a generally flat surface before the strike-off process begins.
