I invented the Vibe-All because I needed a concrete vibrator for a small-scale pour I was doing. I didn't want to rent a big industrial-grade tool for $200 a day and I wondered how I could convey the vibrating force of my SawzAll into the 1/3rd of a yard of concrete I was pouring that day to reinforce a basement wall.
I have a long history with home building and tool reviewing. For years I edited the Journal of Light Construction (I started there when it was still called New England Builder). Among the many topics I covered were tools and tool inventors. I also was on the editorial team that launched Tools of the Trade magazine and I worked there as a contributing editor at the same time I wrote for JLC appraising tool samples that manufacturers sent to us and monitoring tool news. I saw lots of ideas come across my desk some of which were brilliant like a reset-able digital level and Extend-a-Level...and some that flubbed like the triangular hammer head. I applied these "lessons learned" to my invention and I added a measure or two of what I'd learned years earlier when - as a teenager - I worked as a laborer pouring pool slabs and footers in northern New Jersey. Even then as we whacked the forms to get the concrete to settle I knew there had to be a better way. I think I have found that "better way" with Vibe-All.
