Best Masonry Floats of 2026

"I found this float to be extremely well made and much sturdier than the typical rubber sponge ones I've used in the past. It fits nicely in my hand, and I was surprised by how visually appealing it is, too."

"After switching to this solid urethane grout float, I’m honestly not going back to the old spongy kind. It’s done about 500 square feet with no visible wear, and I love how easy it is to clean and how the little holes prevent suction to the tile."

"This is my second purchase of this float because the first one, after over a year, still works great except the edges have dulled a bit. I find the handle much more comfortable compared to other brands, and I appreciate that the material doesn’t chip, tear, or harden like traditional floats."

"I usually don't write reviews, but I was impressed by the excellent product quality and super fast shipping. Definitely a 5-star experience!"

"I bought this for a concrete countertop and while the bottom coating wore a bit, it didn't hurt performance. Did the job well and I'm happy with the result."

"This float is a little more expensive than some, but the quality is outstanding and it works great."

"I found this tool to be reliable and sturdy, exactly what I needed for my project. The overnight shipping was a great bonus, getting it to me quickly."

"Used this for an epoxy grout job and it performed well. It really helped with smoothing grout in corners and along edges, making the process much easier and faster."

"As a DIY enthusiast, I appreciated the solid build and ease of use. Not sure how it would hold up to commercial work, but for the price, it's definitely worth trying."

"When I replaced the grout in my shower, this tool made the application process super easy and surprisingly satisfying. The tiny tiles were a challenge, but using this float made everything go smoothly. I’d absolutely use it again—though I’d prefer someone else handle grout removal next time!"

"I recently tried the QEP 4 x 9.5-inch Molded Rubber Grout Float and found it to be exceptional for both ease of use and build quality. The non-stick gum rubber made the job simple, and the handle was really comfortable. Cleanup after tiling was fast, and the float’s size allowed for precise work. I’d highly recommend it for anyone working on tiles."

"I recently used this grout float and sponge set for my kitchen floor project and was impressed by the solid, comfortable grip and firm rubber base on the float—it made spreading grout smooth and efficient. The sponges expanded fully after soaking and held up well during cleaning. Excellent value for the quality, and I'd highly recommend it for any DIY tiling."

"As someone who’s tried a few grout floats, I found this one to be of nice quality and the sponges are decent once you reinflate them by soaking in water. It takes a bit of effort to get them to full size, but overall, the set worked well for my project. If you need ready-to-use sponges, you might want to buy them separately."

"I bought this set for a tiling project and was pleased with its performance. The float is well-designed and easy to handle, spreading grout evenly and making the job faster. The sponges are soft but sturdy, though they do require a couple of rinses during use. Overall, it's a great investment for anyone tackling tiling jobs."

"I used this float for tiling beneath my woodstove, and it handled the small areas effortlessly. The tool is light, sturdy, and a great deal for the price. I’d definitely recommend it."

"I wanted a compact grout float for my kitchen backsplash, and this one was exactly what I needed. It’s a true grout float, just smaller and perfect for detail work."

"The ergonomic grip and ideal weight made it easy to maneuver while working on my kitchen tile. It was comfortable to hold and performed the job really well."

"I picked up this kit to re-grout my entryway, and it was much more budget-friendly than what I found at local stores. Everything worked as expected, and now I have all the tools I need for any future touch-ups."

"I used this set with grout I bought from Home Depot to redo my kitchen. It was way less expensive than branded tools, and the grout saw made removing old grout super easy."

"This kit made regrouting my tile floors a breeze. There were plenty of sponges, and the grout removal tool performed really well. I even found replacement blades easily online."

"I've used several different brands of floats, but the MARSHALLTOWN resin float stands out for its comfort and durability. The handle doesn't hurt my fingers, and it works equally well on both wet and hard concrete. After two years of use, it still looks like it'll last another three or four!"

"The float had a slight sway at first, but it quickly straightened out and now works perfectly. I really appreciate the quality and reliability of MARSHALLTOWN resin floats."

"It's a great tool overall, but I wish both sides weren't beveled—it makes it a little tricky to work close to walls without scratching my knuckles."

"I was skeptical because of the affordable price, but it turned out to be professional quality. The 4' head balances weight well and the reverse swivel action is very smooth. The button lock on the handles is easier to use than the old twist style."

"This float is very durable and easy to assemble. The size fits our needs perfectly, and for the price, it's a fantastic value."

"It might not be as perfect as high-end floats, but I couldn't have completed my concrete pad project without it. I'll definitely use it for future jobs."
