Albion Engineering Company Albion Engineering 640-5 Standard Model Backer Rod Insertion Tool

Worth its weight in gold

Worked well and saved me time getting hundreds of feet of backer rod into my large driveway when I was filling my expansion joints. My only compliant is I don't think it should cost $40+. If you're laying down more than 200-300 feet of backer rod, I'd say it's worth it.

this tool works OK had about 30 thousand LF of joint crack filling half the time the tool did not do its intended job. Maybe for someone else they would have success but not for us no. I am a commercial contractor since 1989.

I purchased the Standard Model, but it did not come with the long stick attachment, even though the product video on Amazon shows someone using it while standing and holding the long stick. It would be a good idea to include this information in the product description.
