This was purchased for the purpose of digging trenches for landscape irrigation. I was able to reduce a five-day, back-breaking job with pickaxes to a six-hour job. Given that this demonstration hammer did not come with any bits, I purchased a spade for digging, a bull nose and 2-inch concrete chipper, as well as a scraper. It’s great that it makes use of SDS-Max bits.
“All right” for a small, light concrete demolition. Alternatively, if you have a limited amount of space. However, it is not powerful enough for thick reinforced concrete or for large jobs of any magnitude. I tried it on a reinforced concrete pad that was 10″ thick and felt like it had 5000 psi of pressure on it, and it took 45 minutes to make half a dozen small holes. Small equipment pads or light concrete, on the other hand, are not a problem, and they work well in tight spaces. It was necessary to remove some excess foundation that had leaked out of the forms in order to run irrigation lines through the construction site. Because of the limited space, it worked perfectly.
Especially useful for trenching and digging holes for planting trees, among other things. Used to chop up roots, some of which were 3-4 inches in diameter, and this cut right through them with no problem.
Overall, this is a very useful tool that will save your back while also speeding up the completion of certain tasks. Just be aware that it has its limitations.
Please remember to keep it greased, Makita – A90582. The MAKITA HAMMER GREASE, A-90582, performs flawlessly.
