Traditional methods of placing and finishing freshly poured concrete can be time consuming and imperfect. By bringing vibration to the bull float, however, the process becomes more efficient. It’s this line of thinking that produced the Rattle Stick, a versatile tool that can add the power of vibration to a variety of other tools. Here is some additional information about this product that we’re excited to be able to offer our customers at Maxwell Supply in Tulsa.
The Rattle Stick uses a NIMH battery that lasts about 3-hours on a single charge. That’s enough to float between 10-thousand and 12-thousand square feet. But, the Rattle Stick can be attached easily to any walking tool you click a handle into. And with the addition of the Snake Bite Bracket, clamp it on to virtually anything that benefits from vibration.
The original use for the Rattle Stick is still a bull float or channel float. The vibration when used with these tools helps your float resist sticking to the surface of freshly poured concrete. It makes finishing more efficient by pushing coarse aggregate down while allowing cream to surface. This allows you to effortlessly level out high spots while filling in low spots.
What you’re left with is a level surface that’s in perfect condition for stamping. Using the Rattle Stick also floating in color hardener much easier.
