New concrete construction equipment is coming soon from Milwaukee! The new MX FUEL Vibratory Screed Kit and M18 Concrete Pencil Vibrators make concrete leveling a breeze. These new tools are designed to outwork and outperform similar corded and gas models on the market without the hassle of extension cords or oil changes.
MX FUEL Vibratory Screed Kit and Bars
The new MX FUEL Vibratory Screed Kit from Milwaukee is super powerful and simple to operate. It has the power to pull a 16′ bar at 9,000 VPM, which is better than most gas powered screeds on the market. Since it’s battery powered, it is also much quieter and will not leave you with a gas headache after use. This tool is lightweight and easy to maneuver, which greatly reduces the strain on you compared to less powerful screeds or doing manual screeding. When you take into account the labor input, quality of work, and speed of this tool, it is the best option out there for the price.
The MX FUEL Screed is compatible with MX FUEL REDLITHIUM batteries and ONE-KEY to track your tool through Bluetooth in the ONE-KEY app. The battery power on this is super reliable, producing 130 minutes per charge with an 8′ bar, 120 minutes with a 12′ bar, and 30 minutes with a 16′ bar–just as much runtime as one tank of gas.
There are a few different screed bar options that can be used with the new screed kit as well. Milwaukee has 4-16′ triangular bar options for screeding applications of all kinds. Triangular screed bars offer more consistent vibrations across the bar and prevent the concrete from building up on the bar. Whether you’re laying a driveway, basement floor, or doing commercial flooring, the Milwaukee MX FUEL Screed will deliver perfectly level and evenly compacted concrete laying.
M18 Concrete Pencil Vibrator
Milwaukee is also adding a couple new concrete pencil vibrators to their lineup– 4′ and 8′ M18 versions. These pencil vibrators can consolidate up to 20 cubic yards of concrete per charge, saving you a lot of time and money. Pencil vibrators are great for flatwork, concrete repairs, or pouring residential/commercial walls, stairs, and footing. The POWERSTATE brushless motor used in the pencil vibrators delivers a consistent VPM for optimal consolidation so you don’t have to choose between performance and speed. The square head design delivers greater amplitude compared to round headed models so you can cover a lot more surface area in less time.
Arguably one of the best features of these pencil vibrators is that there is no extension cord needed, which eliminates set up time and tripping hazards on the jobsite. The M18 FUEL Pencil Vibrators are also 3X more powerful than competitive corded models on the market, to easily remove all air bubbles from wet concrete and prevent honeycombing. Earlier this year, Milwaukee released the powerful MX FUEL Backpack Concrete Vibrator, but now you can have a fully portable and powerful Pencil Vibrator to carry with you wherever you need even if you’re only on the M18 platform.
