Switched from hand troweling to power trowels for big slabs last spring...

I used to do everything by hand, even on 400 square foot garage floors in Denver. My knees and back were killing me after every pour. Then I rented a power trowel from Sunbelt in May for a 600 square foot job and finished in 2 hours instead of 6. The finish came out way flatter with no trowel marks... have any of you made the switch on smaller residential work or do you still stick to hand tools?

Get on that power trowel life even for the small stuff @gavin80, your body will thank you and the finish is way more consistent in the end.

Stick with hand tools for anything under 500 feet myself.
