How Does an Electric Concrete Poker Work? 

Vibrating is a critical step on the majority of construction sites and, when poured, it's easy to form a substantial amount of air bubbles that can damage the strength of the concrete. Used to remove air bubbles from small sections of newly laid concrete in a swift and effective manner, the machine forces air bubbles, settling the concrete as you observe.

Effective use of an electric concrete poker takes skill and experience. In order to maximise its effect, it’s recommended that you insert the tool at a vertical angle. Also, be sure to penetrate previous layers of concrete already placed to prevent cold joints. These can occur when the newer layer of concrete is poured over an old layer that has set enough to prevent the two layers from properly bonding.
