Jeff Backlund created the Hydrant Buddy in 2019 and is dedicated to the innovation of his products as he strives to make them more durable, lighter and stronger

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.

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
