Floats, float assemblies, float adapters and interfaces, and float vibration apparatus, and methods
A concrete float, float assembly, float adapter and interface, and float vibration apparatus and methods include a concrete float that have surfaces, and structures for controlling flow of wet concrete. An interface such as may be included in a quick attach/release configuration may be integrated on a float, and/or may be added onto a float for quick attach/release of a pivot assembly. Adapters may ease attachment or release of an assembly, and may be an interengaging element, such as a sliding dovetail as an interengaging element, or an adapter may be used to place an assembly in tension to secure the assembly. A vibration assembly may be included and configured to have a low center of mass, can have a user display, an accelerometer, and/or other components. A pivot assembly may be included for easier use by an operator, and may include a user display, quick release mechanisms.

Combined Bull Float-Roller Concrete Finishing Device
A combined bull float-roller concrete finishing device including a bull float member and a roller member. The bull float member including a handle and a blade. The bull float member is configured to smooth an underlying surface. The roller member including a pair of rotatable attachment bars which are each connected to the blade in a perpendicular orientation at a right and left side of the blade respectively. A roller is attached between the pair of attachment bars. The roller member is configured to rotate the roller downward to a position behind a rear end of the bull float member to roll the roller over an underlying surface and is configured to rotate the roller upward to a position above the bull float member to prevent the roller from rolling over an underlying surface.
Asphalt Rake Assembly
An asphalt rake assembly for enhancing ergonomics of a rake includes a rake head that has sequence of triangular teeth thereon for raking material. A handle is coupled to the rake head and the handle has a plurality of intersecting sides. Thus, the handle has a rectangular cross section taken along a longitudinal axis. In this way each of the intersecting sides can be gripped thereby facilitating the rake head to be tilted at a selected angle while maintaining preferred ergonomic positioning of a user's hands on the handle.

CONCRETE TOOL
A concrete tool for use in a transition area between garage or overhead doors includes an elongated main body extending between a first and an opposite second end, wherein the main body extends at a slope upwardly from the first end to the opposite second end. The concrete tool further includes a right angle portion extending upwardly from the first end of the elongated main body and then outwardly, the right angle portion comprising a first generally vertical portion extending generally upwardly from the elongated main body and a second generally horizontal portion extending outwardly from the first generally vertical portion. The concrete tool further includes a first handle mounted proximate the first end of the elongated main body and a second handle mounted proximate the second end of the elongated main body.
