Buying is nice b/c you'll always have it, but in this case (hindsight being 20/20 and all) renting a big dog might be the way to go. I'm looking to buy your model right now, for light duty and drilling, but I may have to rethink getting a bigger tool. Thanks
This is sort of what I am doing too! How difficult was it to move the toilet? And what is that foam you used around it and why? How’s the basement coming along?
Not too hard to move the toilet however it does take some time. The foam is just sil plate foam (foam that goes under 2x4 on concrete to provide a moisture barrier). Wrap it around the pipes a few times then pour the cement, when the cement dries you pull the foam out and it leaves a void. This void in the concrete is required for the toilet flange to fit properly. I have a another video that kind of shows this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fuwc4wMZRXE.html
Yes. Great idea. I tried that in one corner where I had to break through a thicker area. It helped and made the demo very controllable as far as material I wanted removed.
@@davindergill1888 I think it's normal to get a bit hot during use. Been a while since I used mine. I would probably give it a small break though if it's super hot. This isn't a super heavy duty tool like a construction site jack hammer nor do I expect it to be. I used Makita 194683-7 Grease Vessel from Amazon. I don't think it matters much what grease you use. This stuff seems to work fine.
Grab the handle and firmly twist it counterclockwise. It will loosen the handle, then you can slide it to different positions and re-tighten. The first time you loosen it may take some force. Mine was very tight.
That tools really best for peeling up tile and cleaning out mortar joints on rock walls. You need to go out to one of the bigger sizes of that machine to get the concrete busted out. You use it trying to bust out 3 to 4 inch+ concrete. You'll be rebuilding it at about 2/3 the cost of new every other job. Pick the right tool for the job.
@@chasl3645 On the one hand, a person should pick the right tool for the job, you're right. This isn't the proper tool for this. The issue is though, the proper tool costs 4 times what this tool costs. So, even though this tool isn't meant for this purpose.... It got the job done.
