Finally - A Surface Prep Machine That Works As Hard As You Do - Meet the HAWK 17 Inch Merlin Severe Duty WD Industrial Floor Machine!

Overview:

Sick of floor machines that can't handle the tough stuff? The HAWK Merlin WD 17" is your answer to brutal surface prep jobs. This isn't your standard floor buffer - it's a concrete-crushing, stone-polishing powerhouse that turns backbreaking work into a straight-forward task. No more wrestling with the machine or watching profits disappear into endless labor hours.

Why It Stands Out:

Forget everything you know about surface prep machines. While others bounce and fight you every step of the way, the Merlin WD's floating head design locks onto the surface like it's on rails. With 1.5 HP of industrial muscle and an 80-pound weight kit standard, you'll power through concrete and stone jobs that would stall lesser machines. Best part? One person can disassemble the handle in 60 seconds flat for easy transport and storage.

What Customers Love:

Contractors who've switched to the Merlin can't shut up about two things: how much faster they're completing jobs and how much less exhausted they are at the end of the day. The forward-motion control feels natural from the first use - no more fighting that old-school side-to-side dance. Plus, the modular design means you're not killing your back loading and unloading.

Choose from three rugged variants to meet your specific needs:

  • Merlin TE (F70-17-01): Comes with a black powder-coated motor and brush cover for added protection and longevity.
  • Merlin TECP (F70-17-CP): Features a sleek chrome motor with a powder-coated brush cover for a professional appearance and extra durability.
  • Merlin TE DX (F70-17-01DX): The most versatile option, adding a 4-gallon solution tank, diamond pad driver, chrome motor and splash guard, so you’re ready for the toughest tasks out of the box.

Perfect for:

Commercial, industrial, and construction professionals who need a reliable, high-performance floor machine capable of handling the toughest tasks, while providing customizable options for maximum flexibility.
