CS Unitec
The END 1521 P wet diamond core drill from CS Unitec is capable of drilling 3/8-inch to 1¼-inch diameter holes in concrete and natural stone faster and cleaner than rotary hammer drills, according to the manufacturer. The hand-held, lightweight drill has a patented quick-change diamond bit system, to facilitate core removal. The rotary action of the END 1521 P allows drilling without the “blow out” and micro fractures that commonly occur with the percussion action of rotary hammers, the maker says. The unit features a 13.6-amp, high-speed motor with 6,000 rpm and drills without shock or vibration.

Multiquip
Multiquip's steel-built WSH-Series vibratory truss screed resists rough handling and allows operators to strike off slabs up to 11 inches deep. The screed is designed for applications such as slab, bridge and highway applications and lets contractors complete the job with minimal manpower. The truss screed expands up to 65 feet in width and is available in air-powered or engine-driven configurations. The 8- and 13-hp Honda gasoline engine-driven models sport an eccentric shaft design that produces 8,000 vibration cycle modes per minute. For more demanding applications requiring low-slump concrete or deep lifts, the air-powered models are designed to produce up to 9,500 vpm. The screed's vibrators are spaced at 30-inch intervals for uniform consolidation.

Hitachi Power Tools
Hitachi's 20-pound SDS Max demo hammer, the H60MRV, features the company's IDI technology to withstand tough conditions and extend tool life. The design of the tool absorbs vibration so it has less impact on the user and reduces noise levels. The H60MRV is engineered to power through concrete and stone materials quickly and illustrates Hitachi's new ergonomic design. The demolition hammer features a 12.4-amp motor that delivers 19.2 foot-pounds of impact energy to force its way through materials quickly and easily. It offers constant speed control with a variable speed control dial allowing the user to set the impact rate according to the operation and material.

Metabo
Metabo's D-handle rotary hammer is designed to reduce operator reaching and fatigue in both down-drilling and overhead drilling applications. The KHE D24 SDS keeps the operator's hand and arm in line with the hole being drilled, minimizing fatigue while maximizing drilling pressure and provides extra control over the tool. The new hammer is designed for hammer drilling, chiseling or rotary drilling and features a rotation stop, which allows for chiseling or chipping, or for setting self-drilling anchors. Up to 1-inch diameter holes can be drilled into concrete, block, brick or stone using SDS-Plus carbide-tipped drill bits.

Bobcat
The Bobcat concrete pump attachment is designed for contractors who routinely work in residential areas within confined yards. Bobcat representatives say the attachment avoids the need for contractors to hire a concrete pumper truck to deliver concrete to hard-to-reach areas. And by limiting the need for a pumper truck on the jobsite, contractors can protect underground utilities and prevent damage to driveways, sidewalks and finished landscaping. Either side of the concrete pump attaches to the Bobcat loader for better positioning. The hoses are then connected, and the concrete mix is fed into the hopper and pumped to the jobsite. The pumping hoses can be routed through small openings, under decks, through bushes, across rivers, and around trees and buildings.

Ingersoll-Rand
Ingersoll-Rand's hand-held concrete screed, the Rapid Screed, features adjustable, offset handlebars that provide easy operation and balance maneuverability while integrating a “set it and forget it” throttle system. The enclosed bearing and power transfer systems, coupled with a no-lube shaft and bearings, makes this new IR screed virtually maintenance-free. The RS-15H is available with a 1.5-hp, 4-cycle Honda engine. The wide, offset handlebar design of the screed provides the operator with a better line of vision, as well as increased operator comfort. The handle design also helps to balance the torque from the eccentric weight for better control.

MBW
MBW's ScreeDemon wet screed features several mechanical improvements. The link between engine and eccentric is a low-cost, durable, flex coupler. High maintenance flex-cables or rigid shafting is eliminated. The ScreeDemon also couples to its screed bar via a compression lock. There are no holes in the screed bar to compromise integrity and no hardware passing through the bar. Because the ScreeDemon assembles to and is removed from the bar in seconds, cleaning and transport are facilitated. The magnesium screed bar is designed to work within the natural frequency of the screed/bar combination. The back-to-back double triangular design is rigid and offers comparatively uniform vibration along the full length of the bar. The result is a more uniformly vibrated slab complete with uniform fine depth at the surface.

Wacker
Wacker's new CT line of walk-behind trowels features a system to protect the operator from an out-of-control spinning handle. When the operator is using a Wacker trowel and lets go of the handle, a gyroscopic safety sensor detects the motion of the handle and stops the engine before the handle reaches a 45-degree rotation. This engages the gearbox brake, which will stop the handle rotation within a 270-degree rotation. This system protects the operator from being struck by a runaway handle. An engine rev-limiter senses rapid engine acceleration during starting procedures and will not allow the operator to start the machine at full throttle, eliminating runaway handle rotation during restarts. The trowel handle design is a combination of Wacker's curved handle design and the traditional bike handle, and offers maximum control and comfort for the operator.
