MtB Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Calling it a scrabbler is just a bit of fun, like calling poppadoms pompadoms, murals Murials, and scumbling scrumbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My eldest, when he was my youngest at about 3, came out with the word "Windscreepers" referring to windscreen wipers. We've used it ever since!

If I used one of them I would just have soil. Its surprising how long you can leave it between mowing with a lawn like mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Having had a goggle, it seems there are big versions e.g. https://www.landpride.com/products/55/sf25-series-scarifiers And then there are concrete scarifiers https://youtu.be/cOBGu-OjFGs I think this might be a case of terminology drift. Laymen using the term scarifier interchangeably with scabbler when they mean the needle hammer device for preparing corroded steel surfaces.

Quite possibly, but many hire shops refer to scabblers as scarifiers whether that’s correct or not. There again, a needle gun isn’t a scabbler either... it’s a needle gun.
