Repair Valve Boxes Quickly & Efficiently with Our Kerf Cutter

Here’s a Hydrant Buddy being tested out in a warmer climate. Lucky duck! The customer also mentioned trying it on one particular valve (48” horizontal gate) “we were able to complete 388 turns @>40psi closed then return the valve back to its open position another 388 turns all on 1 battery and it didn’t overheat as we were thinking it might have.” Thanks for the feedback Troy! Always happy to hear those stories. #valveexerciser

Did you know that we have a Patented Design?

At only 23 pounds, toque up to 400 lbs-ft, and variable speed up to 30 rpms, the Hydrant Buddy has successfully reduced common workplace injuries, including rotator cuff tears, tendonitis, lower back strain, joint pain & more.

Kerf Cutter is the latest innovation for municipal water and street departments to fix broken valve boxes. With this tool, a single operator replaces a multi-person crew with a long-lasting solution that rises and settles with the pavement, so it won’t need to be repaired year after year.

Great day in Iowa with the cities of Waterloo, Waverly, and Cedar Falls as we showcased the Kerf Cutter! We had an awesome demonstration showing how quickly and efficiently valve boxes can be repaired without digging using our Kerf Cutter tool. The Kerf Cutter makes repairs simple: - 10 minutes, one person - No heavy equipment or long closures - Sleeves that stay level and prevent future fixes

"I was skeptical at first but went ahead and purchased the Hydrant Buddy because it did look like a quality piece of equipment, it was produced locally and came with a good guarantee. Long story short, it went over so well with the crew that this year we purchased our second unit so both "flushers" now have one." — Hydrant Buddy Customer We love seeing great reviews and comments about the Hydrant Buddy!
