At Multi-Hire Power Tools, we specialise in supplying and hiring out the best machines and tooling for concrete preparation and polishing. From small retail refurbishments to large industrial flooring projects, we’ve got the grinders and floor grinding tools to get the job done.

When it comes to tooling, Husqvarna’s Elite, Vari-Grind, and Tacti Economy ranges give you the flexibility to match performance and cost to the needs of your project. And all three are a perfect fit for the grinders we hire out.

Husqvarna Elite Grind – Premium Polishing Performance

• Bonds available for hard, medium, soft, and extra soft concrete
• Grits: 25, 50, and 100
• High diamond concentration for maximum cutting efficiency and long life
• Perfect before transitionals to ensure smooth, even scratch patterns

Pair Elite Grind with a heavy-duty machine like the Husqvarna X8 or HTC 650 and you’ll cut down on passes while getting a sharper, clearer polish.

For contractors chasing the highest level of finish, the Husqvarna Elite Grind™ range delivers outstanding results. This is the tooling of choice for top-end polishing jobs where speed, clarity, and durability matter most.

Husqvarna Vari-Grind – Mid-Range, Silver Level Tools

The Husqvarna Vari-Grind™ series is a solid mid-range choice – ideal for contractors who need dependable performance without going to the very top of the price scale.

• EZchange™ system for fast, secure swaps on site
• 11 mm high segment for long life and stable results
• Bonds engineered for soft (Mohs 2–3), medium (Mohs 3–5), and hard (Mohs 5–6) concrete
• Available in 25, 50, and 100 grit

Vari-Grind is a perfect partner for hire fleet favourites like the HTC 500 or Husqvarna T5 giving you consistent preparation on a range of concrete floors, whether you’re removing coatings, flattening slabs, or getting ready for polish.

Husqvarna Tacti Economy – Cost-Effective Entry Point

For lighter prep or budget-sensitive jobs, the Husqvarna Tacti Economy range is an excellent entry-level option.

• Medium bond for medium concrete (Mohs 3–5)
• 8 mm high segment for a lower-cost but still reliable performance
• Available in 25, 50, and 100 grit
• EZchange™ system for hassle-free tool changes

When paired with compact grinders like the Husqvarna PG 270 or HTC 420, Tacti tools provide great results on small to mid-size projects without unnecessary expense.

The Right Tooling + The Right Grinder

At Multi-Hire, we don’t just supply the tooling – we provide the full package:

• HTC 420, 500, 650 grinders
• Husqvarna PG 270, 450, T5, T6, X8 grinders
• Full support with dust control, vacuums, and edge tooling
• Guidance on selecting the right tooling sequence before transitionals

By matching the right Husqvarna tool with the right machine, you’ll improve productivity, extend tool life, and achieve a better finish in less time.

Why This Matters Before Transitionals

Transitioning from metal bonds to resins is one of the most critical steps in polishing. Poorly prepared surfaces mean more time, more cost, and more wear on pads. Using Elite, Vari-Grind, or Tacti tools ensures:

• Even, consistent scratch patterns
• Faster progress through resin stages
• Reduced pad consumption and downtime
• Higher quality final finishes

Which Range Should You Hire?

• Elite Grind – Best for premium polishing and heavy-duty work
• Vari-Grind – The mid-range workhorse for balanced cost and performance
• Tacti Economy – Great for budget jobs or lighter prep on small machines

At Multi-Hire Power Tools, we’ll help you pick the right combination of machine + tooling for your job. Whether it’s polishing a shop floor, preparing a warehouse slab, or tackling a coating removal project, we’ve got the hire fleet and expertise to back you up.

Q: What’s the difference between Elite, Vari, and Tacti ranges?

• Elite-Grind™ – Premium, long-life tooling with superior scratch pattern and performance. Best for polishing.
• Vari-Grind™ – Mid-range option offering reliable Silver level performance at a balanced cost.
• Tacti-Grind™ – Entry-level economy tools for prep and budget-sensitive jobs.

Q: What do the different bonds mean?
The bond refers to how hard or soft the metal matrix holding the diamonds is:

• Soft bond – Best for hard concrete (diamonds are released more easily).
• Medium bond – General-purpose option for medium floors.
• Hard bond – Best for soft/abrasive concrete (holds diamonds longer).

Q: How do I know which bond to use on my floor?
It depends on the Mohs hardness of the concrete:

• Soft concrete (Mohs 2–3) → Hard bond tools
• Medium concrete (Mohs 3–5) → Medium bond tools
• Hard concrete (Mohs 5–6+) → Soft bond tools

Q: Which grit should I start with?

• 25 grit – Aggressive removal of coatings/stock.
• 50 grit – Intermediate grinding and scratch refinement.
• 100 grit – Final metal stage before moving to resin polishing pads.

Q: What’s the advantage of the EZchange™ system?
The EZchange™ system allows for fast, secure tool swaps without bolts or complex fittings – keeping downtime to a minimum on site.

Q: Can I use these shoes on non-Husqvarna grinders?
They are designed for Husqvarna & HTC grinders. However, we can advise on adaptors or alternative tooling for other machines.

Q: How does tooling choice affect resin pads?
Good metal bond tooling = clean, even scratch pattern, which makes resin pads last longer, cut faster, and produce a better finish. Poor metal prep will slow down polishing and wear pads prematurely.
