Peohud 2 Pieces Concrete Tool Set, 6" x 3" Stainless Steel Concrete Edger and Groover, Masonry Cement Finishing Kit for Smoothing, Cutting

A compact, stainless duo for clean edges and tidy joints

I reach for edging and grooving tools on almost every small pour—steps, walkways, and shed pads look better and last longer when the edges are broken and the control joints are laid in on time. The Peohud two-piece set pairs a 6 x 3-inch edger with a matching groover, both in 1 mm stainless steel with rubberized handles. I used the set across two projects: a set of exterior steps (three treads) and a 4 x 8-foot garden path. It’s a simple kit with a budget-friendly feel, but it surprised me with how cleanly it finished green concrete when I timed it right.

Build quality and design

Both tools are stamped from thin stainless steel with welded seams and polished, flat bottoms. The stainless choice is practical—no rust after rinsing—and the polished bottoms do help prevent dragging as long as there’s a bit of cream at the surface. The 1 mm thickness is on the light side; you can feel a bit of flex if you put pressure across coarse aggregate, especially with the groover. That’s not a deal-breaker, but it’s worth knowing: work the surface sufficiently with a float before you edge or groove and keep your pressure moderate.

The 6 x 3-inch footprint defines what these are good at—they’re small. That’s great for steps, curbs, countertops, patching, and tight forms where a larger tool would be clumsy. On a driveway or a long walk, it just means more passes. If you prefer a wider base to bridge soft spots and minimize chatter, you’ll want a larger edger (say, 8 x 4 or 10 x 3).

Welds on my set were consistent and didn’t snag the surface. Edges were crisp from the factory. I knocked down a slight burr on the outside corners of the edger with 220-grit sandpaper—worth doing to avoid incidental scratch lines when you pivot near forms.

Handles and ergonomics

The molded rubber handles are the right shape and density for wet, gritty conditions. They stayed grippy with gloved and bare hands and didn’t twist under pressure. The handle placement feels centered, so the tool rides flat without wrist strain. Compared with wooden grips, the rubber here is easier to keep clean, and unlike some foam-covered grips, it didn’t soak up grime or start peeling after rinses.

Because the bodies are thin stainless, the tools are light. That’s comfortable for prolonged use, but it also means you need to control your angle—too steep and you’ll leave a track; too flat and you’ll skate without cutting. After a couple passes, it becomes second nature.

Performance on green concrete

• Edger: On step treads, the edger produced a clean, consistent radius as soon as the bleed water had evaporated and the surface took a light fingerprint without sticking. It broke the edge without tearing the paste, and it didn’t leave a ridge on the flat if I kept a slight leading edge and a steady pace. The small footprint made it easy to work into corners and around stringers. Overworked, soupy surfaces will still tear with any edger; this one is no different. Timing and a touch of float beforehand matter more than the tool.

• Groover: On the 4 x 8 path, I laid a single joint across the short dimension. The groover tracked well along a chalk guide and left a uniform groove. With thin stainless, you can feel aggregate; if you hit a larger stone, lighten up and make a second pass rather than forcing it. If you’re used to heavier groovers with deep, stiff fins, this will feel more delicate. The fin depth and width are in the “general purpose” range—enough to establish a control joint on a 3–4-inch slab but not a deep architectural reveal. It’s not adjustable, so set expectations accordingly.

One note on chatter: on the first pass, if you’re on the early side, the tools can chatter and leave faint washboard lines. A quick float to close the surface and another light pass with the edger or groover eliminated them. As always, it’s more about sequence—screed, bull float, wait, edge/groove, trowel/brush—than force.

Finishing sequence tips

• Wait for bleed water to disappear. If the surface glistens, you’re early.
• Keep the tool’s outside edge slightly leading. Don’t flatten both edges at once.
• Rinse the groover fin every pass or two. Cement paste builds quickly and widens the cut.
• If you see a ridge beside the edger track, your angle is too steep or you’re pushing paste. Back off, float lightly, and try again.
• On hot, windy days, misting the surface before a pass helps the polished bottoms glide without biting.

Durability and maintenance

Stainless holds up. After a hose-off and quick wipe, the tools look nearly new. No rusting, no pitting. The thin stock is the primary durability consideration: if you use the groover as a pry bar or toss it into a bucket with rebar, you’ll bend edges. Treat them like finishing tools, not demo gear, and they’ll last. I’d also avoid acid washing; it’s unnecessary and can discolor the handles over time.

The welds on my set didn’t show any pinholes, and there was no telltale black streaking after rinses that would suggest corrosion starting at seams. If you do see sharpness on the outer corners on arrival, a quick pass with fine sandpaper pays off.

Where this set fits

• Best for: small pours, steps, sidewalks, garage patches, countertop edges, curbs, pavers set in mortar, and anywhere a compact tool is easier to control.
• Acceptable for: medium slabs if you don’t mind extra passes and you work methodically.
• Not ideal for: large driveways where a wider base and heavier fin maintain consistency across long pulls, or for crews that prefer sacrificial carbon steel tools they’ll abuse daily.

If you’re outfitting from scratch, remember this is a finishing pair, not a full kit. You’ll still need a float (magnesium or wood), a trowel, a screed, and a brush or broom to complete a slab.

Value and alternatives

The Peohud set sits in the “starter” price tier, and that’s the right place for a two-piece stainless kit of this size. To step up, you’d generally look for:
- Thicker blades for less flex on coarse aggregates.
- Larger footprints (8 x 4 or 10 x 3) for faster coverage and smoother tracking.
- Specific edge radii or deeper, stiffer groover fins matched to slab thickness.
- Riveted or forged constructions from brands aimed at daily trade use.

Those upgrades cost more and make sense if you’re pouring regularly or need a specific finish profile. For occasional work and tight spaces, I didn’t feel limited beyond the expected footprint constraints.

Limitations to note

• Size: 6 x 3 inches is efficient in corners but slow on long runs.
• Flex: The 1 mm stainless can transmit aggregate “feedback”; work gently and make multiple passes.
• Fixed profiles: You can’t change radius or groove depth/width. If you need a deep joint for thicker slabs, bring a saw cut or a deeper groover.
• Sharp corners out of the box: A quick deburr prevents accidental scratches near forms.

The bottom line

The Peohud edger and groover set is a straightforward, stainless, small-format duo that does what it’s supposed to do: it cleans up slab edges and lays in neat control joints without drama—provided you respect the timing and keep your angles clean. The rubber handles are comfortable and easy to clean, the polished bottoms glide well on a properly floated surface, and the stainless construction shrugs off rinse water and storage in damp garages.

I’d recommend this set to DIYers and homeowners tackling steps, walkways, pads, and repair work, and to pros who want a compact pair for tight spots or as a backup in the truck. If you’re pouring daily or covering large slabs, you’ll likely want heavier, larger tools with defined radii and deeper fins. But as an accessible, rust-resistant, easy-to-use pair for small pours, this set offers good control and tidy results at a sensible price.
