Hi-Tech Slant Cabber 8 Inch

Overview

Hi-Tech Slant Cabber - a specialty tool.

Cabber-style tools are used in concrete finishing trades to shape and smooth curb and gutter edges, and the slant designation in this name points to an angled head suited to that edge work. Running at 3400 RPM off a 115 volt, 1.6 amp corded motor, it sits in the power range of handheld finishing tools rather than a stationary shop machine. At 15 pounds and roughly 11 by 15 by 11 inches, it is sized to be carried and maneuvered on a job site.

• 115 volt, 1.6 amp corded motor
• 3400 RPM operating speed
• Weighs 15 pounds, sized 11 by 15 by 11 inches

Who it's for

Aimed at concrete finishers and masonry contractors who need a corded specialty tool for curb, gutter or edge shaping work. Not a fit for general woodworking or metalworking shops, since the tool's purpose is specific to concrete edge finishing.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 1.6 amp, 115 volt motor spins the head at 3400 RPM, a speed suited to shaping and smoothing rather than heavy material removal. Corded power avoids the runtime limits of a battery tool on longer finishing passes, at the cost of needing an outlet or extension cord on site. The listing gives no head diameter, so exact cutting reach is not specified here.
