Thinking about switching over to this from my gas screed. What do you think Mike? We pour 1-2 slabs a month mostly additions and the occasional whole house foundation. Also by watching your videos and your techniques using the wet pads I completely changed from doing elevation pins. My 48yard pour on a new home Im building this week went smoother than ever. Thanks again!!!
I’ve been involved in concrete in many forms over many years. This is fantastic. Excellently presented by all the team. This tool is worth it’s weight in gold.
i watched every single video you guys made , as a drywaller finisher i find concrete so fascinating and such an amazing product, i work with very sensitive and bridal product (drywall) and i love watching these when i get home.
That’s pretty cheap considering the advantage you get able to talk to each other “hey, fill that in please” or the day your gas model decided to blow the engine, or the stink of exhaust inside foundation already capped off, wonder when they will make battery powered power trowels? When I bought my adjustable blade vibrastrike power screed from Darryl at AH Harris some 12 years ago, they had it on the shelf for over a year and he sold it to me at cost with a 12’ adjustable board, meaning you could calibrate it flat or use it with a crown, so it was a huge savings and great investment for our company, had the 4 stroke Honda engine on it, thing was great, but it was heavy, when I was doing floors all the time I would’ve definitely considered buying a battery screed, hey Mike, another great job, I hope to see you guys soon on one of our projects in the spring, always a pleasure watching you guys, good luck this winter
Great show as usual man, I repair screeds for a living and I can tell you this is a great screed for all the right reasons and compared to other others it’s way quieter, no fumes, no gas, no broken pull chords. My only question is how long does it last on a single battery charge… Keep on rockin man…
We don’t pour basement floor until house is built and settled. It’s weird you guys do it first. Doesn’t it crack all to hell by the finish of the house?
It looks great. A lot of benefits. Changes the job from a 3 man operation to a 2 man operation improving productivity and also health and safety advantages saving ears and backs.
You’re super talented and such a great Teacher Mike. I stumbled across your video and I am NOT a contractor or anything close to a concrete professional, but I am fascinated about it, you’re videos rock man. Blessings. Abe
You can really WOW me, that’s the coolest, I know it’s hard, I’ve done my fair share. I was setting up to repair a set of brick stairs & I removed the loose brick, chiseled out the debris, then I leaned in brushing it off & click popped my sciatic man that tore me up real bad, but I did indeed finish the with my crews help, then it went like this 6 months at the chiropractor plus P.T. Good news back to it, but I’m sticking to my love carpentry
In NYC we need permits AND c.o.f. operator licenses (you have to pass a test lol) from FDNY for gas use above 2.5 gallons on a site (total), so been moving everything to electric and pneumatic. This looks awesome.
Where is the rebar on that concrete? Even if theres a slab or something underneath, brc? Why didn't anyone vibrate the concrete? The machine vibrates but to what depth? For how far? It What's all this about?
Great tool mike, we were using 110v screeders 20 years ago as opposed to hand screening , we all reckoned we would live 10 years longer lol🤭, we used a 2m blade which meant you could keep busy on deeper slabs....way to go 👏
I been pouring with people in MN most people still doing hand screed bend over kick go it didn't bother me when I was younger but now I mean its worth to get something like this.
I was just thinking about this last month. The fact is you can just go a little bit. Because you don’t alway want the screed to vibrate and not always balls out either and depending you can’t always get it perfect.
Great videos....... I'm looking to put up a 60' x 120' x 30' tall prefab metal building summer of 2022. I will be the GC on the job. I will most likely will sub out the concrete 6" slab work ( 134 yards ). How much should I expect to pay for the labor only to set the forms, rebar, and laying out the concrete and smoothing it to finish? I'm in Western Massachusetts area around Springfield, MA. Looking forward to getting your thoughts. Thanks
I like it!! I usually always hand screed.. people forget, after screed I ALWAYS TAmP... it does seem a little slow tho.. What Do you recommend MIKE..?? As some one who works with concrete every day..
You never have a problem using super p and calcium together? They don’t work against each other? I tried to order a mid range and calcium the other day and they wouldn’t do it for me. Said it would just waist the calcium. But I had to wet it down some to shoot it. So that has to kill the calcium some!
Not really, on a bigger floor you may need another battery or two for backup. stiffer drier concrete may screed a little better with the gas, I haven't had a chance to use it enough yet to determine that for sure yet.
It seem to look like good screed , Why don’t you check your heights with the laser every couple of meters? Or does it have fall,just curious thanks. We say check yourself before u reck yourself.lol
Mike, I've been really looking forward to this machine when it was first unveiled. Our company has learned the screed well, and we were looking for some more info on this machine. How do you think this would fare on a slope? Would you take the pitch right off of a 1/4" floor?
You could use it on a slope with the right slump and good rakers. I personally like to hand screed a slope but that's just me. I think you could use it on a slump about 4 and higher. I haven't tried a 4 yet but that's my feeling.
Hey mate, G’day from downunder!! Love your content!! Just wondering what your cleaning routine is on these things? Hand wash? Pressure washer? Thanks in advance!

Great lower back saving tool. Anything that's a fair price, is lighter, quieter and gets the job done like this is a winner.
i watched every single video you guys made , as a drywaller finisher i find concrete so fascinating and such an amazing product, i work with very sensitive and bridal product (drywall) and i love watching these when i get home.
I love the new technology, great to see it in action. we have it so easy these days! Nice work as always Mike.
Thanks 👍
That battery operated screen would come in handy on indoor jobs .
I would consider buying one especially for those indoor industrial jobs. Where we are not allowed to contaminate the air with carbon monoxide.
Yes it sure would!
Those 2 guys scraping is louder then the machine!>>>> wow what a great tool!! Back up battery? ... great video!
I already have Milwaukee battery tools so yes, I have plenty of back-ups
Two thumbs up for the ScreeDemon! Thanks, Mike.
Thank you!
سلام کارتون عالیه از این دستگاه کجا گیرم میاد ممنون
I like that and 5lbs pounds lighter i have a shockwave.Great job again Mike.Tony from New Mexico
Thanks 👍
It's amazing how much progress has been made in the battery operated tool market given it a big 👍
Absolutely
I built one 35 years ago ran it for more than 10 years

Those men behind you do a great job raking , they say they make it easy ! So very true ! Enjoy !

DIY repurpose a Ryobi weed wacker remove line, place bolt to offballance the wheel and turn to purpendicular and add screed....Works great!
Used to use this at a parking garage for a hospital 3 years ago. Went to a different company after the job finished and never seen one again

Where was this forty years ago? I might still have a back left.
We literally were debating on getting this one today!
Mike thanks for all your videos. They are always informative. Of course it's easy to screed with vibra screed than the old school way!!! Thanks again!
It is a lot easier!
You can really WOW me, that’s the coolest, I know it’s hard, I’ve done my fair share.

If it makes the job easier do it save your back thank you 😊 for the video
I agree!
And no fumes down in the basement!!! 👍🏻
Right on, no fumes!
In NYC we need permits AND c.o.f. operator licenses (you have to pass a test lol) from FDNY for gas use above 2.5 gallons on a site (total), so been moving everything to electric and pneumatic. This looks awesome.
The rake man was on point. 👍🏾👍🏾
Fantastic. No more gas to carry around. No more oil changes/fumes/noise/balky pull cords.
Where is the rebar on that concrete? Even if theres a slab or something underneath, brc? Why didn't anyone vibrate the concrete? The machine vibrates but to what depth? For how far? It What's all this about?
I’d love to have three guys that can rake that good nice job guys .
Mike they should donate this to You ! AS ALWAYS AWESOME VIDEO'S ! BE SAFE BROTHER !
No gas fumes, no motor noise. My only question is how long does the battery last. Looks like a great tool.
Hi iam a plasterer from Scotland love these videos mate
Great tool mike, we were using 110v screeders 20 years ago as opposed to hand screening , we all reckoned we would live 10 years longer lol🤭, we used a 2m blade which meant you could keep busy on deeper slabs....way to go 👏
Great review! Incredibly quiet.
Is there space in the battery compartment to run an adapter for dewalt batteries?
I been pouring with people in MN most people still doing hand screed bend over kick go it didn't bother me when I was younger but now I mean its worth to get something like this.
This helps yes.
The raking is louder than the screed
You're right, it is!
Hey Mike and crew. Like 👍 all your videos. We are getting ready for a snow storm here in Davenport Iowa
Bummer, I'm ready for summer temps already.
How much running time on a battery?
A fully charged battery will typically last as long as a tank of gas
this is really amazing machine.. it must have save alot of time concrete finishing..
It does!
Looks like it works good, nice to see new stuff to make are job easier. Always wanted to try a rattle stick on a bull float.
Get a helper to try to pull start it. Great vids, Mike. Thanks from MD
No worries about that with this one.
It went over your head Mike.😂
I was just thinking about this last month. The fact is you can just go a little bit. Because you don’t alway want the screed to vibrate and not always balls out either and depending you can’t always get it perfect.
How many batteries and what amp hour did you use
Looks really good love to give this one a go
It did work good. Both this and their gas one are excellent.
Does it for the 12ah batteries?
Is the vibration adjustable like on the gas powered ones?
Amazing tool , good luck with the battery operated screen ! Bob
is there a solid diy fix for driveway cracks
I like it how much does it cost

Never mind the screed, where can i get a raker like that!
lmao
Yup, that's my problem.
Mike's got a good crew.
Like it ., don’t like the rake man raking back and forth over and over if I was running screen make me crazy
I like it!! I usually always hand screed.. people forget, after screed I ALWAYS TAmP... it does seem a little slow tho.. What Do you recommend MIKE..?? As some one who works with concrete every day..
Added bonus of operator not having to breathing petrol engine fumes if you're working in enclosed spaces .
Is concrete level when you finish floor?
May be not on the market but I built a Battery powered screed 35 years ago
I want to buy one how can I get one
Sweet been in concrete for 30 years first batt one seen. Tried looking up the page would not load ?
You never have a problem using super p and calcium together? They don’t work against each other? I tried to order a mid range and calcium the other day and they wouldn’t do it for me. Said it would just waist the calcium. But I had to wet it down some to shoot it. So that has to kill the calcium some!
You have good guys. What do you pay them so you keep them.
Did you check how many bars of battery you lost? And what size Milwaukee amp hour battery did you use? Looked like a 5.
I used a 5 yes, I didn't check it was too cold.
Very good I love it how much they sell it thank you good job
Gday boss, enjoy all your videos mate, thanks for doing them wnd please keep them coming.
-Piete from down under
Glad you like them!
Hand or power screed, which is faster or more efficient for you guys?
Mike we have 2 of them mbw and Milwaukee. We're placing in Portland and also auburn Maine. How close are you to us
Is there any negatives using battery versus gas?
Not really, on a bigger floor you may need another battery or two for backup. stiffer drier concrete may screed a little better with the gas, I haven't had a chance to use it enough yet to determine that for sure yet.
Batteries are good for 3 years max, whether you use them or not and replacements are expensive $$$.
@@psidvicious Please show the data that the batteries only last 2 to 3 years.
How much truck charge ?
Cool ,the mucker makes more noise than the Screedemon.
Mike, one more thing, the link isn't working to view where to buy this screed. Just and FYI
I'm working on that, they haven't given me one yet.
I'm not sure if I missed it but I would like to know did you screed that whole slab on one battery and if so how many amp battery was it
DeWalt makes a battery power screed too works great
You guys rock another grate video
Have you tried a magic screed from Allen engineering? They are the ones who came out with the first power screeds. Been using them for 20+ years.
Yes, they're very good also.
How long do the batteries last?
A fully charged battery will last as long as a tank of gas
Is that a basement or a pool
It seem to look like good screed ,
Why don’t you check your heights with the laser every couple of meters?
Or does it have fall,just curious thanks. We say check yourself before u reck yourself.lol
What kind of sorcery is that?
Hi, where can I purchase the battery powered screedemon? Need one ASAP
fascinating !!! thanks for making this vid to show us
From the looks of it :
You’ll need a Pilots License to operate that thing?
Do you guys do heated drive way love to see a video on that..
No poker vibration needed?
No, not on a floor like this.
Mike, I've been really looking forward to this machine when it was first unveiled. Our company has learned the screed well, and we were looking for some more info on this machine. How do you think this would fare on a slope? Would you take the pitch right off of a 1/4" floor?
^^^Same question, and can it pull a stiffer mix? Let us know when you test it.
You could use it on a slope with the right slump and good rakers. I personally like to hand screed a slope but that's just me. I think you could use it on a slump about 4 and higher. I haven't tried a 4 yet but that's my feeling.
No rebar?
What tolerances can be achieved?
Depends on who's running it and who's raking behind it. Very flat with both good workers.
Just came across this video. It'd be really easy to put a mast on each end of that with a laser receiver too. Cool device.
Screeding bent over by hand is one way to F your back up over time.
18 foot wide house?
Nice job Mike
Do you prefer the gas over this battery unit?
How long is the run time?
I get about an hour on a 5AH battery.
@@MikeDayConcrete not too bad. I thought it would be much less 15 or 20 minutes.
Hey mate, G’day from downunder!! Love your content!! Just wondering what your cleaning routine is on these things? Hand wash? Pressure washer? Thanks in advance!
In your earlier videos you used the Marshalltown power screed, how did you like that compared to the gas SreedDemon?
They're both excellent, can't go wrong with either one.
That’s awesome! What’s the difference in weight between the two models?
It felt like about 5 lbs. lighter
Hay mike
How long does the battery last
Depends on the size of the battery. I use a 5ah, they have a 12ah. Mine will last for a few floors like this.
No toxic fumes if working in an enclosed area!
Where can i get 1 and how much?
I have a link in the description of the video where you can get one.
@@MikeDayConcrete i found it, im getting 1 4 sure, u pour about a 5 slump?
How much
Nice how long is the battery use
I'm not sure yet, I have to use it on a larger floor.
What Amp hour was the battery?
Wow game changer.. love it👍
