A concrete vibrator must be suitable for the job on which it is being used, an expert has stated.

According to construction sector commentator Sean Withers, the right concrete vibrator depends on the actual task that is being undertaken.

However, he advised that the name of the manufacturer could be a good guide as to whether or not the tool will be useful.

"The brand of vibrator that you choose will help give you the comfort in the vibrator's reliability," he told Health and Fitness Report.

Mr Withers suggested that builders go with a company that is reputed for providing good quality products.

He added that concrete vibrators are an "essential part" of having a successful concrete pour.

The Multivibe Hummer Lightweight Concrete Vibrator could be one good product to consider, as it is suitable for working on foundations, slabs and stem walls.

Builders can also pick from different flex lengths and head sizes, allowing them to tailor it to individual concreting jobs.
