Description

Concrete Construction Overview

     Concrete tools and equipment provide the interface between the craftworker and the concrete. They are the instruments of the craft, just as a doctor requires tongue depressors and a stethoscope to get the job done. Due to the many stages involved in the concrete process, there are many special tools required. Many may seem to be virtually identical to the casual observer, but a craft professional sees each of them as the unique instrument that it is, with a unique purpose. Most of the tools presented herein are used exclusively for concrete construction. Some of the hand tools have not changed much since Roman times, while others make use of the latest technology and materials. As a trainee, it is very important to be able to identify, use, and properly care for the tools of your craft.
