A device that allows a user to spread and level concrete in a standing position includes a beam formed of a pair of beam segments, each having an inboard end that may be removably joined to the inboard end of the opposing beam member at select locations to vary the length of the beam. Pivotally mounted to the outboard end of each beam segment is a handle assembly. The handle assembly is pivotable between a plurality of angular positions allowing the beam to be manipulated within confined spaces and whereby the beam may also be used in an inverted position. A first beam segment includes an eye bolt for coupling with an external towing device to assist a user in pulling the beam across a heavy layer of concrete.

1. A device for spreading leveling concrete comprising:an elongated length adjustable beam, said beam having two opposing ends, a substantially planar lower surface and a substantially planar upper surface whereby both the upper and lower surfaces provide a smooth surface to level a pile of concrete; said length adjustable beam formed of first and second beam segments, each having an outwardly facing side, an inwardly facing side, an inboard end and an outboard end, each of said beam segments further including at least one longitudinal groove and at least one longitudinal tongue on the inwardly facing side, said tongue and groove extending along substantially the entire length of said beam section, each tongue on one of said sections slidably received within the groove on the other of said beam sections whereby the length of said beam is variable by sliding the first beam section relative to the second beam section; a clamping means for fixing said beam at a select length; a handle assembly pivotally attached to the outboard end of each beam segment, each handle assembly pivotable towards and away from the inboard ends of said beam segments allowing each outboard end of said beam segment to be manipulated within confined spaces and to allow the beam to be used in an inverted position.
