Very Cool Video of Concrete Screed

A few months back, you may have seen a review in the Tools & Materials (if not, you can read it here) section of FHB that talked about a product called "Spin Screed". Don Mathis (a frequent contributor to Chuck's "Tips" department) did an EXCELLENT job writing up the product, but by the time I finished cutting it to fit in the half-page of space that we had available, I felt some of the nuances of the system were left on the cutting room floor. Turns out it's pretty hard to describe such a funky little tool in only 250 words!

But that's why I love Tool Hound - I can post videos that supplement the reviews that run in the printed magazine.

Even if you never work with concrete at what I consider to be this "advanced" level (advanced for me, anyway) all fans of cool tools will love this video, trust me...
