What is a scabbler?
Scabbler is a compressed air powered machine with several carbide steel tips that peck at the concrete, reducing stone or concrete. It operates by pounding a number of tipped rods down onto the concrete surface in rapid succession. It takes several passes with the machine to achieve the desired depth.
