Review on πŸ’₯ Dexpan: The Ultimate Demolition Excavating Alternative to Jackhammers by Charles Barney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This stuff really works!

So about a year ago it occurred to me that I really want to clean that boulder in my yard, I go to Home Depot, I rent a giant jackhammer and I spent 10 hours hitting it almost like me I do not go anywhere. It turned out to be very hard granite and unfortunately I was defeated and sort of gave up altogether. I did some research recently and came across Dexpan and I have to say I was skeptical. So I ordered a $39 bucket and luckily my old job allowed me to borrow their 1 3/8 bit combo jackhammer. I read they recommended 1 1/2 but figured it was no big deal. I spent about 7-10 minutes drilling 18" deep holes in the boulders spaced about 9" apart before realizing I had pretty much covered everything and then watched the Dexpan video one last time At times. It was very easy to use three water bottles for an 11 pound sack. I mixed it all up in a 5 gallon bucket and started watering. I probably filled in about 16 of the 21 holes I drilled and felt like an idiot for about to order 2 buckets, but I thought let's see if this works first. I order another. I come back in about 5 hours and see nothing no cracks and now I think it was a complete scam but I still had to go to work so let's see how it is in another 8 hours. I can't describe how excited I was when I got home from work, the whole boulder was covered in huge cracks from the holes I patched and I had to stop myself from looking because it means to wait 24 hours. . When the time finally came, I went there with the San Angelo Bar and this rock was just starting to burst at the seams. I've since ordered a second bucket, and as I type this one I have fresh Dexpan in the remaining holes, waiting to shatter what remains of the once impenetrable rock.
