World of Concrete 2016 Highlights
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 @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

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