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:
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.
Stop letting inferior machines hold you back. The HAWK Merlin WD 17" is built for contractors who are serious about surface prep and tired of equipment that can't keep up. Whether you're resurfacing concrete or polishing stone, this beast powers through jobs that leave other machines smoking on the sidelines. Available in TE (black powder-coat) or TECP (chrome accent) finish, with an optional DX package for maximum versatility. Don't waste another day fighting with outdated equipment - get the machine that works as hard as you do.
