Heavy but effective
Takes a 30mm hex shank, so hard to find a clay spade, which is what I wanted. Amazon do one in the US.
Comes with point and chisel steels, plus a grooving tool for embedding electric cables. You'd need the strength off superman to use the last of these.
Comes with steels, tools, oil can, wheeled case and gloves, which are all good quality. Also a face mask and goggles, which really aren't. You need to buy them elsewhere, and also some ear defenders as it is pretty loud.
No oil supplied. Any 10W40 engine oil should be ok. It recommends Shell in the instructions but I'm sure it makes no difference. You only need about 100ml and it should last for years.
When using it, you need to kind of drop it onto its tip. Otherwise when you press the on button it just vibrates. Dropping it makes the steel contact the impactor properly.Read full review

Now this is a useful to have in a spacious tool shed and everything you would need, to break up concrete, especially for those stubborn fence post holes, reduces large concrete mounds in minutes instead of hours. This hammer drill stands 41.53" (with point chisel), the weight assists in the delivery of the hammer blows, (This requires some upper body strength for a stable performance).
It comes with a powerful max 1700W input with an impact rate of 1400rpm requiring a well-designed non-slip, sweat resistant handle to smooth out low vibration and to fully adjust according to the angle required.
This hammer drill works on 230V and can be plugged into a household socket, the noise levels are kept to a moderate 50Hz, however ear protectors should be worn as a matter of course in line with personal Health and Safety. Eye protection and gloves are supplied and all are contained in a heavy-duty case, (either PVC or Metal - this particular one is of metal).
The packages include a side handle for better and more precise control, three heavy duty chisels, maintenance spanner, hex key and oil feeder.

vital demolition tool
Well made and tough!
Sometimes you may realize that a slower impact rate makes better progress on tough concrete by "blipping" the trigger which has made me consider fitting a speed control so I can tune the rate of impact.
It is necessarily quite heavy so using it horizontally into blockwork is tiring and you need to be able to get body weight behind it so that the impacts bottom out on the chisel.
The tool comes with three good chisels and the wheeled case is handy for storage.
The PPE stuff, goggles, mask and gloves are the cheapest imaginable and went straight in the bin so make sure you have decent PPE apart from these.
This in my opinion is a better breaker than the Titan from Screwfix and about £50 cheaper.
I recommend this tool.....allow a week for it to be delivered.Read full review

Fantastic piece of kit
This Jack hammer has already saved me a small fortune! It comes very well packaged and has 3 very good attachments for breaking up concrete, rock and stone I was able to break up my old concrete pond foundation with ease using this machine.
The included goggles are trash the glove are nothing special but adequate if you dont have a decent pair.
The machine is quite noisy so wear ear protection. I bought some 29db ear defenders for £3.00 from screwfix and that reduces the noise a good deal, even though my 35db ear plugs would probably be even better for this beast!
Before using this machine add oil to the oil chamber until you can see the oil level in the little transparent window, I used 15w 40 multi-grade but as others have stated any 40w oil should be fine.
The carry case is great especially as it has wheels on one side so you can pull it along instead of carrying, as this thing weighs a ton which is no bad thing when you're smashing your way through hardcore but not so good for carrying by hand.
All in all great value for money so much better than hiring.Read full review

Impressive breaker
Very happy with the purchase, heavy sturdy powerful breaker. Great value can't see how you would need anything other than this unless you are using for commercial use. I knocked up a 8m x 8m slab 150mm deep in no time at all, various pick adaptors. Make sure you add engine oil to it by removing the hexagonal sight glass on the front though as isn't that obvious in the instructions. Enjoy the tool, it's awesome!Read full review

Powerful and great value
This is a very well made breaker. It's solid and heavy and comes in a wheeled case. Very easy to use and has plenty of power and weight and makes life very easy. Noise levels are above those stated but that's a very small price to pay.
The manual is poor and could do with a rewrite but altogether a great product.Read full review

Demolition Breaker
Its very robust and the travel case with whrrls is good. The chisel point and point are good . I have used it now for 4 days with no problem it even comes with spare motor brushes.I n use it is more than capable of smashing out concrete. Using it in short bursts gets the best hammer action. It is actuall better to buy one of these than hire! Obviously it does not have the finish of say a makita or bosch but cosmetics are not the issue. This breaker does what it is supposed to nothing more or less. Reliability and life I cannot comment on aS OF NOW.Read full review

Makes a tough job easy!
I had to demolish an 8ft by 8ft by 5inch thick concrete slab. This got the job done in 30 minutes. I found the sharp pointed chisel worked best, and start from the edges of concrete slab, using 2 second bursts on the trigger. When your done you can sharpen the chisel with a grinder.Read full review

Quit heavy but then it has to be.
Got this to help with replacing my old fence posts. Wow it makes mince meat of the old concrete footings saving me a lot of sweat and time. Also came in a sturdy carry box which has also got wheels on so you can pull it along.Read full review
