Rattle Stick tool now has more bite

The Rattle Stick — a vibrating tool that attaches to walking tools such as bull floats, joint cutters and edgers — can also be more firmly affixed to aluminum screeds with the company’s new “Snake Bite” screed bracket. Other improvements include variable speed control, allowing operators to dial in just the right amount of vibration depending on slump consistency or tool size.

The tool, which emits a mild vibration to cut down on finishing time, is used to place concrete and help achieve a better finish without having to add excessive water to a mix or surface water to seal it up. Less water means less shrinkage and stronger concrete. The company will debut another new attachment at World of Concrete 2016 in Las Vegas.
