It made short work of my 40+ year old basement slab and I could not be happier with my choice. This is a great demo hammer for light duty to breaking up basement slab for plumbing installations. I considered renting a similar hammer but decided to invest in this one as it was lightweight, compact and had a variable speed setting for more delicate demo work.
The video is worth checking out. It may even eliminate the need for a rental, because it seems to be very capable. Priced way less than 35-42lb hammers from Makita and Hatachi, it has similar power output. Also, check Tool King for reconditioned options. I could have done the job with my smaller Bosch rotary hammer but might have ended up having to replace the tool afterwards. Just used this to break up 4-6" thick 30 year old concrete in my basement.
While not as powerful as the Bosch Brute, it is less than half the price and weight. The video of this tool on the DeWalt website sold me, not to mention giving me some ideas about uses I had not thought of myself. Started the job with a rental Bosch Brute, but needed something smaller to get into some tight spaces. This DeWalt will fill in nicely between the abilities of the Bosch rotary and a larger rental unit. Save some $$$. I decided to buy rather than rent this time and I'm glad I did.
I am very pleased.
The first job was on some very old 4000PSI conrete. For the smaller demo especialy inside structures it is perfect.
Great productivity. Unit did not wear me out.
I have been in heavy construction for over 30 years and have used many pavement breakers,jack hammers and demo tools. The handle can be a small problem for left handers.
Completely satisfied with the product. This is just the right size for good control, great variable power and reduced vibration.
No problem.
WOULD BE NICE IF UNIT WAS 6 INCHES TALLER THATS MY ONLY BEEF WITH THIS HAMMER DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY THE 18 INCH BITS UNLESS YOUR REALLY SHORT. EXCELLENT FOR BASEMENT DEWATERING CAN BREAK 5 TO 6 INCH THICK CONCRETE. BEST WORKING RANGE WOULD BE LESS THAN 4 INCH THICK.
