​Spend five minutes hanging your bucket opposed to an hour waiting for a core to drop!

My name is Edward Schalek,

I've been in the plumbing and pipefitting industry for over thirty years. My inspiration for this patented core catching ring was About a year ago when I was catching a core on a train platform not more than ten feet away from the train tracks. The concrete was thicker than we anticipated, so it took a lot longer to core the holes. the platform was very busy so we barricaded off the area where we going to core. As I was waiting for the core to drop in my bucket while I was holding it over my head for about a half hour my arms started to get tired. When the core finally dropped, I wasn't ready and it hit the bucket, knocking it and the core out of my hands almost hitting the people walking to their trains. I thought if it was to fall onto the tracks we would have a disaster on our hands. It was then i thought "There's gotta be an easier way"! That's why I invented The Core Catcher!
