A Nearly Forgotten Tool, the Indent Roller
The indent roller is used to add a waffle texture to troweled concrete, usually curbing or entire sidewalks. The purpose is to create a more slip resistant surface. It's also called an indentation roller, dot roller, imprint roller, curbing roller, spiked roller, and pavement roller. The cylinder may be cast aluminum, brass, bronze, or iron.
