6 Husqvarna Tools Every Concrete Contractor Should Know

Are you still figuring out which Husqvarna tools can make your concrete jobs faster, cleaner, and more profitable? With so many saws, drills, grinders, and finishing machines out there, it’s easy to wonder: Which ones are truly essential for my crew—and what parts keep them running when the pressure’s on?

In this guide, we’ll break down six must-know Husqvarna tools for concrete contractors, show you where they fit into real-world job site challenges, and point you to the exact models and parts that save time when deadlines are tight.

1. Early-entry joint cutting — Soff-Cut systems

When you pour a new slab, cracks don’t wait for you to come back days later with a saw. That’s where Husqvarna’s Soff-Cut system comes in. It’s designed for “early-entry” joint cutting, meaning you can cut control joints just a couple of hours after finishing, while the concrete is still green. The result? Cleaner joints, less random cracking, and schedules that actually stay on track.

Husqvarna has a range of Soff-Cut saws to fit different job sizes:

• Soff-Cut 150D — a lightweight, walk-behind saw perfect for smaller pours like driveways or sidewalks. Runs a 4.5–6" blade, easy to manoeuvre, and doesn’t need a big crew to operate.

• Soff-Cut 2000 — a mid-size option built for commercial pours. Think warehouse floors and large slabs where you need depth and durability without stepping up to a ride-on.

• Soff-Cut 4000 — the heavy hitter. Hydraulic drive, higher horsepower, and the ability to handle long, continuous cuts on massive slabs and industrial floors.

Each saw is matched with proprietary Soff-Cut blades and skid plates, that is the combo that makes the “early-entry” possible. The skid plate keeps the saw from tearing at the green concrete surface while the blade scores the joint cleanly.

Before ordering, please verify your exact model and serial number. Even small differences (like a Soff-Cut 150 vs. 150E) can change which belts, guards, or skids you’ll need. It saves a lot of headaches on-site.

Common spares to keep on hand

• Skid plates and blade block hardware (these wear faster on big jobs).

• Drive V-belts and clutch assemblies (critical if you’re cutting long joints).

• Air and fuel filters (easy-to-replace components that keep engines running smoothly).

• Pointer assemblies (so your joints stay laser-straight).

Keeping a small kit of these parts means you don’t get stuck mid-pour when the clock is ticking.

2. Walk-behind floor saws — deep & consistent cuts for slabs and roadwork

When you’re cutting expansion joints, chasing cracks, or opening trenches, a Husqvarna concrete saw gives you the depth and consistency handheld cutters can’t. Walk-behind floor saws are designed to run longer, cut deeper, and stay straight on the line without wearing out your crew.

Husqvarna’s walk-behind lineup covers everything from light-duty cuts to heavy roadwork:

• FS 400 LV — a compact, belt-driven saw that’s easy to transport and perfect for patchwork or smaller commercial jobs. Cuts up to 6.5" deep with a 14–18" blade.

• FS 5000 D — a diesel-powered workhorse with a cutting depth of up to 15". Ideal for highway projects, airport runways, or any job where productivity per hour really matters.

• FS 7000 D — Husqvarna’s flagship concrete saw, with high-output diesel power, hydraulic blade control, and the ability to handle blades up to 36". Built for serious production cutting.

Why contractors choose them

• Straight, accurate cuts even on thick slabs.

• Less fatigue for the operator compared to handheld options.

• Faster progress on long runs — critical when lane closures or pour schedules are tight.

Always check blade guard sizing before you order parts. A 14" setup vs. a 20" setup uses different guards, covers, and drive components. Mixing them up is one of the most common order mistakes.

Common spares to keep on hand

• Drive belts and clutch assemblies are among the most common walk-behind saw parts that contractors keep ready.

• Blade guards and flanges (wear items that often get damaged in the field).

• Depth control cables and linkage kits (small parts that, if they fail, can stop the entire saw).

• Air and fuel filters (prevent downtime from clogged systems).

3. Handheld power cutters — the K-series for fast demo & on-the-fly cuts

Every contractor has at least one handheld saw in the truck. They’re the quickest way to cut rebar, trim pipe, open a doorway, or make adjustments mid-pour. Husqvarna’s handheld lineup is popular because it strikes a balance between power, portability, and durability — tools you can trust when time is tight.

• K 770 Power Cutter — the contractor's favourite. Lightweight, easy to start, and cuts up to 5" deep with a 14" blade. Perfect for asphalt, concrete, and steel.

• K 970 — a bigger gas cutter with a 6" depth, built for heavier construction and demolition jobs.

Always match your blade size with your guard and drive system. A 12" setup on a K 770 uses different guards and covers than the 14" version. Checking your serial number before ordering saves wasted time.

Common spares to keep on hand

• Recoil starters and starter assemblies (the most common failure point on site).

• Air filters and spark plugs are everyday handheld saw parts that prevent downtime.

• Belt kits (critical for torque transfer).

• Blade guards and covers (safety essentials that wear fast).

4. Core drilling systems — precise holes, anchors and penetrations

When you need openings for pipes, conduit, or anchor bolts, nothing beats a core drill. Instead of jackhammering or overcutting with a saw, a Husqvarna core drill gives you a clean, round hole that saves time on patching and keeps the structure intact.

• DM 200 — a reliable, handheld drill for smaller diameter holes. Great for electricians and plumbers working on-site.

• DM 540i — Husqvarna’s cordless option, giving you flexibility without sacrificing torque. Perfect for tight spots and indoor work.

• DM 650 — a high-output drill motor designed for heavy-duty applications. Pairs with Husqvarna stand for stability on large-diameter holes.

Always double-check your bit diameter and drill stand compatibility. Using the wrong stand or guard can throw off accuracy and wear parts prematurely.

Common spares to keep on hand

• Drill stand gaskets and seals (keep the drill stable and leak-free).

• Switches and power cords (high-use parts that take a beating).

• Bearings and spindle assemblies (essential for smooth, accurate drilling).

• Water swivel parts (to keep bits cool and extend life).

5. Floor grinders & surface preparation machines — prep, remove coatings, level slabs

Before coatings, overlays, or polishing, the slab needs prep. That’s where Husqvarna’s floor grinders and surface prep machines come in. They’re built to handle tough surfaces, remove imperfections, and leave a smooth base that’s ready for whatever comes next.

• BMG555 P — a robust planetary grinder ideal for medium-to-large projects. It delivers consistent pressure across the floor, which is perfect for coating removal and uniform polishing.

• HTC 800 XP — a heavy-duty planetary grinder with high horsepower, built for industrial-scale jobs where coverage and efficiency matter most.

• BG 250 P — a compact single-disc grinder that shines in edge work and tight spots. Great as a companion to bigger machines.

• PG 400 — a versatile single-disc grinder with a wider path, making it a solid choice for small to mid-size projects where speed and manoeuvrability are key.

Always match your grinding plates and tooling to the job material. Concrete hardness, coating type, and finish goals all change which diamond segments you’ll need. Having the wrong set wastes both time and diamonds.

Common spares to keep on hand

• Belts and drive components (to keep the heads spinning consistently).

• Dust shrouds and skirt kits (for clean, OSHA-compliant grinding).

• Bearings and couplings (critical for planetary models).

• Power switches and control boards (common wear parts under heavy use).

6. Power trowels & finishing tools — get a clean, durable final surface

No concrete job feels complete until the slab is smooth, hard, and professional-looking. Whether you’re tackling a warehouse floor or a parking deck, these power trowels deliver flatness, durability, and finish quality that hand tools can’t match.

• Walk-behind trowels — great for smaller pours, tight spaces, or when you need manoeuvrability without losing finish quality.

• Ride-on trowels — built for large-scale projects where speed and uniformity matter. They cover wide areas quickly while giving the operator precision control.

When choosing between walk-behind and ride-on, consider the scale. If you’re often working on driveways, walkways, or small pads, a walk-behind will handle it. For commercial flooring or industrial projects, a ride-on machine pays for itself in time saved.

Common spares to keep on hand

• Blades and pans are the most frequently swapped parts of the Husqvarna power trowel.

• Belts and clutches — critical for smooth operation and power transfer.

• Gearboxes and bearings — the backbone of the drive system, ensuring long-term reliability.
