Owner, Tom Gabriel, has a detailed knowledge and first hand experience in the building trades. He is also an expert in the area of metal fabrication.

The TTI Screedright Pro was developed from nearly three decades of concrete work. Tom has helped his family pour concrete for over 27 years. After spending much of that time on the end of a screed bar, he figured there must be a better way! A hands-on approach was taken in creating the TTI Screedright Pro. It's one-man design and use of an ordinary 2"X4" is perfect for the concrete contractor looking to save money in his yearly budget with time left over to spend some of those savings.

The original prototype was introduced in the summer of 2003. Dean Mercil and his crew from Mercil Construction were the first to try out the new design. Tom's first concrete screed was a success on the job site. The screed was used to pour several sections for a parking lot that was just over 12 1/2 feet wide and 205 feet long. Dean's crew of five finished the job in half the time it normally would have taken.

Since then, several upgrades have been made on the screed design. Thanks to the addition of using a light weight 4 stroke powerful engine, the screed has become lighter (only weighing about 55 lbs as compared to the original at 75 lbs). Tom also added a higher quality clutch for smoother performance. The handle bar has also been adjusted to fold for easy transport and storage.
