thin with ease. It usually takes a second pass to get the most out of the thin edge, but the tile lifts in seconds. This was very different than trying to use a pneumatic hammer. Although the air hammer finally made it, it took some time. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because of the patented clutch. It's not universal, so you can't add anything to the bitset. The set can definitely use a wider high carbon steel chisel than the one shown here. The wide blade attachment that comes with the kit is not powerful enough to remove tile and thin soil. A narrower bit requires more passes over thin cast. Own is rather weak.
