I make Tile demos and install them for my business all the time. This is a very good, durable and strong blade! I recommend a good jackhammer with at least 8 pounds of impact energy, like the Makita HM0870C 11 pounds. Jackhammer for small areas.
This bit is great for removing floor tiles. I love that it's 14 inches long and 6 inches wide which gives it a long workspace. I ended up turning my Bosch sds max upside down and destroying 200 square feet of floor tile in a few hours, including dumping it in the dumpster.
I used it to remove cement plaster and old roofing. The thing is quite heavy, but very durable. It's not very sharp and there is some rust right out of the box. It's great for covering a large area at once, but smaller scrapers are better for removing the most stubborn bits.
Perfect fit for Bauer Jackhammer! The standard jackhammer comes with a 3" bit, so a 6" bit will increase performance significantly. I used it to smash tile and old thin set like a hot knife through butter. Breaking out pieces worked better for transporting material to the dumpster than scooping small pieces. Highly recommended!
After removing the ceramic tile from the kitchen, we struggled to find a way to remove the large amount of flimsy mass that was left on our concrete. We tried various methods but they were all ineffective and would require several days of work. Bought this expensive jackhammer bit hoping it was worth it and it definitely is. Removes all subtleties in a couple of hours. Definitely worth it. Used with Harbor Freight's SDS Max Bauer jackhammer.
The tip of the metal rod broke in the casing after only 2 days of use. The edges where it broke have widened and now the tip is stuck in the tube and won't come out. Since I can't get the broken part it looks like it ruined my new hammer drill and now I have to buy another one to replace it. Why sell something that will soon break. I could understand if it broke on the blade or even the exposed part of the shaft. But a tip? Thank you for giving me my time and money back.
I first used this tool to remove a set of thin tiles on a concrete floor. I used a Bauer 11.5 Jackhammer from Harbor Freight. This worked very well as the tiles fitted easily. The skinny set was a different story. It took a lot of effort to knock it off and I still had to rent a concrete mixer to remove the remains. I'd say using the tool was an important part of the process, but at least in my case, it didn't do all the work like some YouTube videos would have you think.
I found it almost too wide and it had a bit of trouble if your thin set is quite solid verses with trowel groves still visible. When I used the smaller chisel to break up and then used the wide chisel to clear the floor, it worked much faster. where there were still traces of putty on the thin set (not a good setup) it worked very well! I would also recommend having a smaller corner bit, like a 2" or 3". You will need it for removing tiles anyway as it is not for removing tiles only forโฆ
