MorningRo 6pcs Concrete Hand Tools Set Masonry Tools Includes Stainless Steel Concrete Hand Edger, Groover, Rubber Grout Float, Finishing Trowel, Pool Trowel and Tool Bag for Cement Beginner Kit

A compact concrete kit that covers the essentials

I put the MorningRo concrete starter set to work on a handful of small projects: edging and finishing a 4x8 walkway slab, patching a garage floor crack, and doing some grout-like repair around a paver border. For a six-piece bundle aimed at beginners and DIYers, it hits the right notes: the tools are sized smartly, the stainless surfaces are easy to clean, and the set balances price with capability in a way that makes sense for occasional use.

What’s in the bag

The kit includes:
- Hand edger (about 6 x 3.5 inches) with curved ends
- Groover (about 6 x 3 inches) with a 1/2 inch wide by 1/2 inch deep bit
- Rubber grout float (about 9.5 x 4 inches)
- Finishing trowel (about 11.4 inches long)
- Pool trowel (about 11.4 inches long) with rounded ends
- Lightweight carry bag (about 13.7 x 7.1 x 7.5 inches)

It’s a sensible spread. The edger and groover let you define slab edges and control joints; the finishing and pool trowels give you square and rounded profiles for smoothing; and the rubber float excels at tight spaces and non-scratch clean-ups. There’s no margin trowel or pointing trowel, so you’ll still want those for mixing in buckets or packing tight cracks, but for finishing work the bases are covered.

Build quality and ergonomics

The metal components are mirror-polished stainless steel. That’s a good match for concrete work: they resist rust, shed paste better than brushed steel, and wipe down easily. After rinsing and a quick towel dry, none of my tools showed staining or flash rust, even after a couple of hours in damp conditions. The polished finish also reduces drag on cream, which you feel most on the pool trowel.

Handles are comfortable, with a slight palm swell and enough clearance for gloved hands. The balance is neutral on both trowels, which keeps wrist fatigue down on longer passes. The attachments are solid out of the box—no wiggle or creak—and I didn’t notice flex in the shanks during normal use. That said, this is clearly a light- to medium-duty set. The handles aren’t as overbuilt as those on my pro-grade trowels, and the arm-to-plate junctions, while tidy, don’t give the same “forever” confidence. For weekend pours and repairs, that tradeoff is acceptable.

The rubber float uses a dual-corner pad: rounded corners on one end and square corners on the other. That’s handy for avoiding gouges while still letting you reach into corners. One nit: the hollow underside of the float’s handle tends to trap slurry, which adds a minute to cleanup if you don’t hose it promptly.

Performance in the pour

• Hand edger: The curved ends and polished blade glide well once the concrete has set up to the right stiffness. I edged a 3.5-inch slab with consistent radius and minimal sticking. The profile is a comfortable all-purpose radius—enough to prevent chipping without looking oversized. A few light passes produced a clean, repeatable edge.

• Groover: The 1/2 x 1/2 inch bit produced crisp control joints on a 3.5–4 inch slab, which is appropriate for small sidewalks and pads. The rounded leading edge helps prevent tearing. The groove depth stayed consistent across the slab and the tool didn’t chatter unless I got ahead of the set time. If you’re pouring thicker sections or want a deeper joint, you’ll need a different bit size, but for most home slabs this works.

• Finishing trowel: This is the workhorse for flattening and closing. The plate is flat, the edges true, and it doesn’t telegraph lines unless you put down too much pressure too early. On my walkway, I used it to bring up cream after a mag float and then to close up after edging and grooving. It left a smooth, even surface ready for a light broom finish.

• Pool trowel: For rounded profiles, the pool trowel shines—literally, thanks to the polish. It’s forgiving at transitions, along edges, and on patches where feathering matters. I used it to finish a patch that blended across new and old concrete; the rounded ends prevented edge marks and made it easier to feather in multiple passes.

• Rubber grout float: This is a utility piece. I used it to press repair mortar into a floor crack and to clean up around paver joints without scratching. The pad is firm enough to compact material but soft enough to conform. The dual-corner design helps you choose between more forgiving contact or precise edge reach.

Across all tools, the stainless surfaces reduced sticking compared to painted or raw steel budget tools I’ve used. That means fewer accidental pulls and a bit less paste buildup on edges.

The bag

The included carry bag is a convenience item. It keeps the set together in the garage and has just enough structure to hold shape. The fabric and stitching are light-duty; I wouldn’t load it with extra heavy tools or toss it into the truck with rebar and expect it to last long. Treat it as a dust cover and caddy rather than a jobsite bag and it’s fine.

Durability expectations

After several uses, there’s no warping or pitting on the plates, and the mirror finish cleans up well. I wouldn’t expect these to withstand daily commercial work or aggressive prying, but for occasional projects the construction is appropriate. The key is proper cleanup: rinse before the paste cures, knock out any material lodged under handles, and dry the tools before storage. Stainless resists corrosion, but concrete residue can still etch if neglected.

Who this set suits best

• DIYers tackling patios, walkways, small pads, and slab repairs
• Homeowners needing a compact kit for occasional concrete and mortar projects
• Beginners who want correctly sized tools that are forgiving to learn on

If you already own pro-grade trowels or need to pour multiple slabs a week, you’ll miss heavier handles, thicker plates, and a wider selection of sizes. But for a first kit that covers common tasks, this set offers a practical mix.

Limitations to note

• Light-duty bag; plan on gentle use or a different tote
• Handle castings and shanks are adequate, not heavy-duty
• No margin or pointing trowel included for mixing and tight packing
• Float handle cavity collects slurry if you’re not diligent about washing it out

None of these are deal-breakers for the target user, but they’re worth knowing upfront.

Tips for best results with this kit

• Time your passes: Let the bleed water evaporate before troweling; use the edger and groover when the surface supports the tool without tearing.
• Use both trowels strategically: Square-edge for flattening and corners; pool trowel for feathering and final passes to avoid edge lines.
• Keep a brush and bucket handy: Rinse tools between passes to reduce drag and prevent grit from scratching the finish.
• Guide your grooves: Snap chalk lines on forms or lightly score with a straightedge before running the groover for dead-straight joints.
• Don’t skip surface prep: On repairs, clean and dampen the substrate per your repair mortar’s instructions; the rubber float can help compact material into voids.

Value and alternatives

Given the stainless steel plates and the breadth of pieces included, the value is solid for occasional users. Buying these tools individually at higher-spec levels would cost several times more. If you foresee frequent use, you might upgrade the finishing and pool trowels to heavier models and keep the edger and groover from this kit—they perform well and are easy to clean. For transport, consider a sturdier bucket organizer or a contractor tote.

Verdict

The MorningRo concrete starter set does exactly what a beginner-focused bundle should: it covers the finishing essentials with sensible sizes, cleans up easily thanks to stainless construction, and keeps the learning curve gentle. The tools aren’t built for daily commercial abuse, and the bag is strictly light-duty, but the performance on small pours and repairs is reliable. I was able to edge, groove, trowel, and feather surfaces to a clean, consistent finish with minimal fuss.

Recommendation: I recommend this set for DIYers and homeowners who want an affordable, capable kit for small slabs, walkways, and repair work. It offers a practical selection of tools that perform well for occasional use, with materials that clean up and resist rust. If you need pro-grade durability or plan to pour frequently, invest in heavier trowels and a burlier bag—but for most weekend concrete tasks, this kit is a smart, budget-friendly starting point.
