Diablo Tools new Cutting technology coming in 2020

What happens here

This final demonstration addresses the challenges of drilling reinforced concrete, a rapidly growing construction segment. The presenter highlights how traditional carbide-tipped bits often 'walk,' break, or shatter when encountering rebar, leading to frustration and wasted time. Diablo's solution is a full carbide head drill bit with four cutters, specifically designed to withstand the heat and impact of drilling through rebar. To simulate real-world conditions, the bits are pre-heated with torches before drilling. The demonstration clearly shows the Diablo bit effortlessly drilling through concrete and cutting through embedded rebar, while a competitor's bit struggles and breaks.

Goal: Showcase Diablo's full carbide head drill bits for superior performance in reinforced concrete.

typically what you have is carbide tips are infused in here and so when they hit the lead line it's exploding and pulling out now if you think about it rebar reinforced concrete is the fastest-growing segment in both commercial and residential one by the for the economy but also through regulation and that's happening through natural disasters etc so this is a big opportunity that we're hearing and labor remains the number one issue in the job sites not material it's not tools it's it's a labor rate and so it's all about us getting our customers or users to get the job done faster smarter and better and so you're going to see a radical difference for the existing designs on the market today what we're gonna be introducing this is the first full line carbide head with a fork cutter bits on the marketplace will have 27 different profiles going from 5 in 30 seconds to one one eight full carbide head and you'll see this here designed to build it withstand the rebar take the heat and perform a whole dr. hole so it's gonna be a challenge but we're gonna attempt to prove this out to you but it's gonna be over there why are you heating them up because I couldn't hear or see anything in the lab what we were doing is simulating what we're really good as soon as you hit that rebar it's going to generate extreme heat and we could see that but this is the bit that I just drilled with you can see how hot that is and that was heating and cooling it off and then drilling through the Reeboks so we simply used the torch to heat it up to simulate what happened [Music] so I'll let I'll give you a head start so they can see let me get this down the way don't even mean to come over [Music] there's a test humor to go all the way through you for me to go all way down the rebar all right you guys I got a question for you what is your favorite kind of video do you like the tool videos the best the job site videos the best or the in-depth interviews where I go out and I talk to Annie and entrepreneur and find out what makes them tick what's worked and what hasn't worked you tell me because that's kind of the three things that I like to focus on the most and if there's something else that you guys want to see let me know that because I would love to start to bring you guys some content that you guys are hungry for and with that being said comment down below tell me what you think of this one I did the best I could to try to get as close to
