What is a "float"?

A float is a flat, hand-held tool used in construction and masonry to smooth or level surfaces like concrete or plaster. It is typically made of wood, metal, or foam and has a broad, flat surface that is used to spread, smooth, and finish the material after it has been applied. Floats are commonly used to ensure an even surface during tasks like pouring concrete floors or finishing plastered walls. They help to eliminate imperfections, making the surface smooth and ready for further work or finishing.
