World of Concrete 2016 Highlights

Whenever we go to a trade show or media event we often post in realtime to our Facebook page and Twitter feed. Many of you are not able to follow along during the work day so we like to do aggregate posts that catch you up to speed of the new developments we find interesting (like these past events 2015 WOC, 2015 KEEN Utility, and 2015 Milwaukee). We attended the World of Concrete 2016 show again this year and covered as much of the show as possible in two days but the show was massive. It was the largest one in 7 years. We tried to hit as many manufacturers as we could but it was impossible to hit everything. Below are some of the highlights that caught our eye this year.

The @WorldofConcrete show was so big this year we needed a week to catchup with all of the content. #WOC2016

Worlds smallest ride on trowel. 2 guys can carry it and it fits through a doorway. #WOC2016 pic.twitter.com/YDu89YYTft

The @HiltiNAmerica vampire chisel is now available for the big breaker. We've waited a year for this thing. #WOC2016 pic.twitter.com/ot8YIA0Jet

The @HiltiNAmerica chisel fits other brands too. Wave design helps it to break more and get stuck less. #WOC2016 pic.twitter.com/1kOEtpHwKs

With the biggest show in 7 years, @HiltiNAmerica couldn't be contained to just one booth. Try before buy. #WOC2016 pic.twitter.com/Coqc3Ht2kI

One of @HiltiNAmerica new tools this year was the TE-800 AVR. Welcomed update to the venerable 805. #WOC2016 pic.twitter.com/0WrC4jZX7X

Last year @HiltiNAmerica equidist was new with the core bits. Now they have made it to partner saw blades. #WOC2016 pic.twitter.com/hmdPVhcde9

Last year the @HiltiNAmerica SF 10W-A18 was the fastest we've ever used. Now with active torque control. #WOC2016 pic.twitter.com/zcwIAEYgBv

Have a handful of partner saws in the crib including 2 900-x. @HiltiNAmerica is making recoil repair easier #WOC2016 pic.twitter.com/w85oEvx8xm

Tried the new @HiltiNAmerica 12V line. The screwdriver was a real joy to use. $299 for 3 tools, 2 batts #WOC2016 pic.twitter.com/dAhU6qjJmx

With a wave of the @HiltiNAmerica scanner the whole job box is checked back into the crib. Sweet! #WOC2016 pic.twitter.com/mtWjVKN91K

See @HiltiNAmerica cup grinder in the foreground? Has been out roughly 10 years and it's still the best. #WOC2016 pic.twitter.com/qAVKq44jUz

The #WOC2016 show takes an army of forklifts to move the mountains of crates for the different vendors. pic.twitter.com/VTu7po1Prx

There's more than just tools at #WOC2016. Plenty of heavy iron for the kid in all of us. pic.twitter.com/O5UdEwayZd

We love that there are more entries into the 12V realm. It's the sweet spot for MRO. #WOC2016 @MakitaTools pic.twitter.com/pjrYVtwJnq
