Ingco Vibrator Poker VBP1451, 45mm Head, 6m Hose

Our review

The Ingco VBP1451 is a concrete vibrator poker built around a 45mm diameter head that is 475mm long, driven at a vibrating frequency of 200Hz with an amplitude of 1.2mm. A 6m flexible hose separates the motor end from the head, which matters on site because it decides how far you can reach into formwork without dragging the power unit along. The claw type coupling is the connection point, and Ingco notes the unit suits the GVR-1 and GVR-2, so if you already run one of those drives this is the poker to pair with it. It arrives packed in a carton box.
This suits small to mid-size pours: strip footings, columns, pad foundations, retaining walls and slab edges where a 45mm head fits between reinforcement without snagging. The 200Hz frequency and 1.2mm amplitude put it in the normal range for this class of poker, so the practical question is not whether it vibrates but whether the head size and hose length match your work. A 45mm head is a middle option: slimmer than a 60mm poker, so it enters tighter gaps, but it moves less concrete per insertion, meaning more placements.
Before buying, check three things. First, confirm your drive unit is a GVR-1 or GVR-2, since the claw coupling is designed for those. Second, measure the deepest formwork you pour and compare it with the 6m hose, remembering you need slack to work the head around. Third, think about head wear: a 475mm head is long enough to reach past a single layer of rebar, but if you routinely pour thick sections, a larger diameter poker will consolidate faster. Compare on head diameter, hose length and coupling compatibility rather than on brand name alone, and keep spare couplings in mind as a wear item. Available on Sokonia.
