Rewatching this video after a few years, I love how the wife comes out and asks me at the end "what are you doing" and I have to explain myself. real stuff here folks.
I used the older version on my brother's driveway a few years back. Not the fastest, but it did the job and I didn't worry about throwing my back out moving it around. I'm thinking of getting one for me to tear out some asphalt and getting a spade bit for the clay soil in my crawl space and around the foundation.
I just bought another brand, hope it works as well. It looks like making little rocks out of a big slab may be the easy part. I'm a little older and now worried about the bending over and picking up all those little 50# rocks.
Im looking at buying this for slate rock in our driveway. I know some it will do easy work since its going to drive down between the ridges but some is flat and solid. Would you recommend it?
Interesting... I have never heard of a slate driveway... I'm not sure how thick the slate is but I think it would probably work. If your project is a small amount of work I would recommend renting a tool. Best of luck with your project!
This or the slightly smaller hammer they call a "lower wall breaker" will probably still get the job done. Rebar is in most things you need to tear apart, or at least chicken wire, wouldn't let it concern you too much.
Seemed similar to me. I bet it would be a lot easier to get parts for a Hilti unit if you ever needed them. The Hobo Freight jackhammer felt like just as serious of a tool as the Hilti.
@@frooke2 Nice demonstration. As for Hilti parts forget about it. Hilti parts are not available.The only way you can get a Hilti repaired is through Hilti. They will not sell you just parts.
Looks like a fair unit. My question is, do you think it would work better with a badass bit from Bosch or something like that? It's like any tool, even the best saw or drill will still perform poorly with a cheap blàde or bit. So I thought that with a better bit (ie: not harbor freight) the work would be easier for both the user and the tool. By the way, has anyone ever told you that you resemble Bruce Campbell?
Maybe a badass bit would be better but we are talking about a hammer here. If the bit is reasonably sharp I think it doesn't make much of a difference. The motor and operation of the tool is more critical than the bit I would say. Thanks for watching!
I mean honestly if you need to break something up like this it’s best to just buy this tool then do it yourself. Save the money thing looks like it does a fine job.
