Power Trowel Replacement Blades

DRP Tools

​Power trowels are essential in concrete finishing, ensuring smooth and durable surfaces. The efficiency of these machines heavily relies on the quality and suitability of their blades. DRP Tools offers a comprehensive selection of replacement blades compatible with various power trowel brands, Allen, Bartell, MBW, Orange Thunder, Stow, Superior, Wacker, Wagman, and Whiteman/ MultiQuip, each tailored to specific tasks and machine sizes.​

Blade Types and Their Applications

  1. Finish Blades: Designed to produce a smooth, polished surface, finish blades are typically used after the concrete has partially set.​
  2. Combination Blades: Versatile in function, combination blades can perform both floating and finishing tasks, making them suitable for various stages of the concrete-setting process.​
  3. Float Blades (Float Shoes): These are used during the initial stages of concrete finishing to level and compact the surface, preparing it for subsequent finishing.​
