Abstract

A specialized tool for utilization within the chute of a concrete truck enabling efficient direction of liquid concrete via an elongated handle and strategically shaped, replaceable head, wherein a generally semi-circular shaped head facilitates compatibility with the discharge chute of a cement truck for assisting in the direction and placement of concrete, an elongated handle facilitates an extended reach into the discharge chute of a cement truck for shoveling, pulling, plugging or otherwise controlling the flow of concrete and a replaceable blade head provides long-term efficient usage thereof, thereby enabling a user to efficiently deposit, apply and manage fresh liquid concrete from a concrete truck's chute as the concrete is being discharged.
