COMPARE OUR INNOVATIVE MANHOLE CUTTERS
While all our machines perform the same function, each variant offers distinct advantages for specific settings and workflows. Take a moment to compare our B-52, Gold Series Six Shooter, and Platinum Series Six Shooter models to find the setup best fit for your needs.
We purchased the Mr. Manhole Platinum Six-shooter a few weeks ago. Since that time we have cut 16+ box outs through concrete with no issues. Over the past few years our city, Cedar Falls, IA, has implemented a road sharing program for bicycles. For this to be achieved the street has been adjusted making some of our manholes in the wheel path of vehicles. The Mr. Manhole Markrite tool allows the riser tube to perfectly match the road height providing a near-seamless transition while driving over manholes. The Mr. Mister water spray system is also a must-have in my opinion. It greatly reduces the concrete silica in the air protecting the ground crew without the use of protective masks. I would recommend this product to any municipality or contractor that is looking to take the next step in manhole repairs.

LEARN MORE ABOUT B-52
Aptly named after one of America’s most robust and reliable strategic bombers, the B-52 from Mr. Manhole is the world’s most economical concrete and asphalt manhole cutter, making it ideal for contractors with periodic needs or smaller workloads.
With four arms and four cutting blades, each featuring four carbide teeth (for a total of 16), the B-52 is capable of slashing through concrete and asphalt with unparalleled ease. What’s even better, the teeth are easily changeable during operation – once they’re worn out, simply replace them in seconds and get back to the job.
Frequently Asked
Questions
How fast can the B-52 cut through asphalt or concrete?
The B-52 is a high-performance asphalt manhole cutter engineered for speed and precision. Featuring four sets of four carbide teeth, it can cleanly and effortlessly slice through both asphalt and concrete, creating a perfectly round cut in just 10 to 15 minutes. Paired with superior reliability and ease of operation, it’s easy to see why the B-52 has become the first choice of manhole installers and paving contractors in the U.S.
Can I switch between different cutting drum sizes on the B-52?
While the B-52 is manufactured with a 52” cutting diameter as a standard for continuous, repeatable circular cutting, it can be adjusted to accommodate 34” and 64” diameters with easy-to-install add-ons.
How does the B-52 help reduce labor costs compared to traditional methods?
Using perfectly round cuts and mechanized removal, the B-52 manhole cutter for skid steer shifts the majority of heavy work to the machine. This effectively allows the operator to perform the work that previously took around 5 hours in just one hour. In addition, the circular cutting method reduces the excavation and replacement material by up to 20%, lowers traffic control and crew time, and minimizes safety exposure – all of which amounts to dramatic cost savings.
Can the B-52 be rented instead of purchased?
Absolutely! We offer weekly and monthly rental packages on all manhole cutting machines, tools, and attachments, enabling you to finish the work in record time without committing to an upfront investment. Be sure to contact Mr. Manhole today to confirm full-unit availability and delivery.
