Anyone using the " WallBrator" ?  I use the Oztec Gas Backback, have a wacker 2000 backup and just bought this new product wondering how or if it works. I like the idea of having back-ups to gas powered tools. heres a link to the product

We do have one of them and works fine around windows and lintels but use the pencil for full walls, much quicker!
If the mix is dryer than it should be it wont't do the job.

We have used them and think they are a great addition to a pencil vibrator. Take a look at the video below, new way of consolidating concrete in your footings. Just kick it!

Thanks for the video.  I believe kicking the footer was his way of testing how full it was.

The wrap around the footer should eliminate water wicking up into the footer and wall.

I really liked the way the gravel was placed in backfilling the wall.  That way sure beats using a Bob Cat.
