billkater Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I just ordered this from Amazon. Anyone ever use one. I am filling 5 1/2" foundation walls 2' tall and needed a vibrator. Sounds like it will do the job as long as I have plenty of fully charged packs.What do you all think?http://www.dewalt.com/products/power-tools/rotary-and-demolition-hammers/concrete-vibrators/18v-cordless-pencil-vibrator-tool-only/dc530bSent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Is at least one side of the form exposed? If so you can take the blade out of a sawzall and run the shoe over the forms since it's only a 5-1/2" think pour. With that 1-1/8" vibrator head I'd be worried about it redistributing or getting stuck on aggregate in such a thin, tall pour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkater Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Both side exposed. With rebar in the forms it don't leave much room for a bigger head. 1/2" uprights every 2 foot. Crossed 8" up and 6" downSent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yeah you'll need a smaller head vibrator. Running it down the side can cause breaks in the aggregate trying to avoid the rebar. I'd definitely go with something on the outside of the form. A random orbit sander can work too.

billkater Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I have access to a 3" head vibrator. I thought of using it and laying it against the outside of the formsSent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
