Concrete Vibrator For Do-It-Yourselfers

Concrete Vibrator For Do-It-Yourselfers FARM SHOP Tools 2-3-29 Latest new labor saver for leveling and finishing freshly-poured concrete is Custom Vibe, a vibrating device that lets one man do the job without scarcely lifting a finger. Custom Vibe mounts on the leveling or screed board used to level fresh concrete. The operator simply attaches a quarter inch drill to the device, triggers the drill switch and then relaxes while the vibrator takes over to do the work. It walks or pulls itself along as it levels and smooths out the concrete, eliminating the hard work of having to seesaw a leveling board back and forth to work and level the freshly-poured concrete. "With our new vibrating devise, one man can level up to a 20 ft. span faster and easier than two men seesawing a screed board back and forth by hand," explains Dan Cronkhite, of Custom Trailers Mfg., Westville, Ill. "The unit will do any concrete job that you normally would do by hand, only it eliminates the hard work of screeding and fitter-bugging. You save money by saving time and labor," explains Cronkhite. "It also eliminates having to hammer the forms to settle the concrete, and it brings finishing paste to the surface without hand troweling. You just bull float and wait for the concrete to set up." Custom Vibe weights only 93/4 lbs. and easily attaches to any screed board in less than 3 min. Retail cost, complete with flexible drive and bracket for mounting, is $149.95.
