"While on a job, my Black Beauty was run over. The screed bar was driven over by an F-250 while one side was resting on a 6-inch curb. The bar is still in excellent condition. I couldn’t believe that I didn’t have to replace it. The only thing that needed to be replaced was the saddle clamps, which were very reasonably priced. The claims you make about your equilateral triangle bar being the strongest on the market, seems to hold quite true. I can’t imagine any of the competitors’ equipment surviving an encounter with a 5000+ pound truck!! Thank you for providing an exceptional product that holds up in an unforgiving work environment."

Your very satisfied customer,

"I bought my first Black Beauty screed at WOC over ten years ago and have been pleased that I made this choice. I now have two machines that I make my living with. I wouldn’t think of using a competitor. I do all my flatwork with these tools both residential and commercial. I like the T-handle design for maneuverability, reduced low back strain, and doubling my productivity compared to manual screeding. We went from 20yds per hour to 40yds per hr maxing out around 250 yds per day with much less fatigue. I mix my own fuel for the Tanaka engines. They are great and just keep performing. For a few hundred dollars ACT rebuilt my two machines and I could not be happier with my choice over this 10-year period." Scott Akins,
