Builders/remodelers often need to blast concrete. We have several electric hammers, all Bosch and Makita. We recently had a job where we needed an extra demo hammer due to the number and thickness of panels to be removed. You had to either buy another hammer for over $1200, rent it for $100 a day, or buy that unknown amount for $120 and own it for as long as it lasted. Well, we got our money's worth and then some. We used it 3 days in a row and it works just as well as our big Makita hammer. As
Incredible. My $1400 Bosch failed after 10 years. Got it until I could find parts for the old Bosch. I'm not looking for parts now. This thing is impressive. At the age of 50, I made myself a trail 8 feet wide and 100 feet 4 inches deep in 2 days. Yes, the bits are hardened. It has a 15 ampere plug, although it says 2200 watts. According to Kilowatt, it consumes 1870 watts at 120 volts. Be sure to use a 12ga extension for trails up to 100 feet. Tried it on my 14ga but the voltage drop wasโฆ

There's a fairly steep but thankfully short learning curve if you've never used anything like this before, and I'm happy to report that this product works forโฆ
I am very happy with this tool! I use it for planting trees and digging flower beds in very rocky soil. It's a rock star! I also bought an Xtremepower 1-1/8" X 5-3/8" hex blade attachment for it. I can dig a very large hole in a tree, which used to take a full day with pickaxes, shovels, sledgehammers and crowbars, and about 90 minutes with this thing. And without much effort. I've hooked it up to a 125 foot cable with no issues, but I use 12-3 gauge instead of 14 or 16 gauge to ensure it'sโฆ
