We decided to stop using our swimming pool. However, the removal cost was extraordinarily high, and the machinery required for extraction would have compromised our septic system. Therefore, we chose to convert the pool into a wildlife pond, as our family has two biologists passionate about enhancing our property's natural diversity. To make the pond look more realistic and save money, I took on the challenge of removing the pool's patio, which was made of slate mounted on a thick cement base reinforced with wire. Throughout two summers, I used this jackhammer intermittently. It was a reliable workhorse, consistently breaking up the thick concrete. To aid the project, I also used a pair of wire cutters to remove the reinforcing wire. Here is some additional information: 1. The jackhammer is heavy and requires strength to hold and use. 2. After some time, my main blade became dull. I found replacement blades on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08K2CM2PF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title 3. I used an excellent set of earmuffs that I purchased on Amazon. Over time, loud noises can significantly damage hearing by destroying the cells in the inner ear that help convert sound waves into a nerve impulse that travels to the auditory region of the brain for interpretation. I have expertise in this area, as I taught Human Anatomy and Physiology at the university level for decades. Mitigating the impact of loud noise is critical if you value your sense of hearing. 4. I used my leather gloves instead of the flimsy gloves that came with the jackhammer. I also wore my safety glasses and a dust mask. 5. Several excellent YouTube videos describe this unit and show how to use it properly. I recommend reviewing them to ensure your safety and proper usage. 6. You must add hydraulic oil to the jackhammer, as none is included with the unit. This process is straightforward. I purchased the oil on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09LQNFCPP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Finally, here are a few words about the manual. There is no excuse for a company that sells an excellent product to pair it with a low-value manual. The manual provides some safety information, but it was poorly prepared. It must offer more adequate usage directions and advice on care and maintenance.

This Hammer worked great for what I was trying to do with it. Unlike a lot of people I'm actually trying to break up boulders that I dug out for a foundation. Most of these are sandstone and break up relatively fast. If I could physically be able to handle running it longer it would go really fast. I feel the weight of the jackhammer is just right for what I'm doing. If it was a heavier hammer I would not be able to go from the side and go at an angle with it without hurting myself. I will say it gets pretty warm by the time I am too tired to keep going but this was on a 90° day in Ohio. So we both get a little rest (the hammer and I) at the right time. It's a nice tool to have and not worrying about getting it back to a rental place is worth the cost to me. I also bought the shovel attachment just in case I needed to dig some hard ground. I'm just using the backhoe instead but the shovel is nice and heavy duty and will break rock also. I would definitely buy again if it lasts through these rocks. The picture is of some of the boulders before I busted them up. I got them down to softball and volleyball size and plan on using them for fill under my floor.

These are good toolsfor the average person have alot of Vevor tools and they are standing up quite well

First - it's just cool to own a jack hammer! As far as the tool itself, I have been pleasantly surprised about how robust the jack hammer is. I used it to bust through 6.5 cubic yards of concrete slab in my basement. The slab was between 4"-6" thick and this tool did the job with ease. The spade bit (vs the pointed bit) was definitely the bit I used most, and after the job was complete it had visible signs of wear - as expected. Installation of the bits is simple, and adding oil initially was a breeze. I never had to change or add oil through the course of the project, but I did change the oil after the job so it is ready for next time. During use, the hammer would get warm near the exhaust port - again typical and expected. The tool never over-heated or required a literal break for cooling. The cord length is good and is not an issue when partnered with an extension cord. Overall weight is manageable. For me, I only wish the jack hammer was a bit longer. I am 6'-3", so I had to lean over just enough to make my back hurt during use. The lower handle likes to shift during use - only reason i gave 4* on sturdiness review. The PPE is not very good, so I would recommend using your own. Gloves are way too small for a guy my size. I prefer safety glasses over goggles... you will definitely need to use hearing protection as well.

I bought this back in March and it did a wonderful job. It's not as heavy as many rentals are but I feel that was a plus. I used it all day for several weeks and if it had been heavier then I would not have been able to use it all day. I used it to break up rock and hard-packed soil to dig footings for the house I'm building. Another good point was that it is 120 volts but didn't draw too many amps so I could power it with my solar panel system. I bought a bit to drive ground rods with and I'm looking forward to what is usually a very difficult job made easier. I've got other projects in the works and I'm looking forward to those as well. Overall it's a good investment that has already more than paid for itself. Update: I've had this now for nearly four years and have used it for so many projects and it keeps on working. It tends to leak a little oil around the bit, but not so much that it runs. I've had rentals that did the same. If you live in rock country like I do this is a must if you need to dig footings or ditches. I bought a shovel bit that works well on hard-packed soil and also a tamper to tamp soil with. I like this so much that I bought another one which has come in handy with two of use working on a project.

I live in the Missouri Ozarks where our dirt is at least 50% rocks. You can’t even drive a stake in the ground without drilling a hole first. Forget digging with a shovel! The clay spade caught my attention because right under what little dirt we have is a thick layer of red clay mixed with rocks. Last year my wife wanted to plant two plants next to our front walk. The only way to dig the holes for them was with an air chisel and a small hand spade. I got it done finally but it took me over an hour. Sorry dear, no more holes! This year I needed to dig a trench to bury a gas line. No problem I thought, I’ll just rent a trencher. The only problem with that was that a trencher with enough power to dig through this dirt and rocks was over 8 feet long and would only dig a straight line. I only needed to go 40 feet but there needed to be two radius bends in it. Forget the trencher. Then I found this demolition hammer with the clay spade. It did the job! It was still a lot of work because this thing is heavy but I was cutting through 2 inch thick limestone rocks the size of dinner plates. It never faltered and broke through whatever was under it. I still had to shovel out the hole afterward but at least it was possible, unlike before. Yes, it is made in China and would probably not last under daily use by a construction company, but at this price it is cheaper than renting one and then you have it whenever you need it. With the clay spade I can now dig holes for her plants in minutes and there are several not quite buried “lawn mower hazards” that I will be getting rid of as well. I wish their electrical specifications made sense (they do NOT) but I ran on 100 feet of 12-3 cable and had no problems with voltage drop or cable overheating so whatever they are, don’t worry about it. This is probably the one tool I never dreamed I would own or even have a need for but now that I have it I am so glad I made the purchase. Consider me a VERY satisfied customer!

Bought the Bauer Harbor Freight Jack Hammer for $400-$450 and within about 1 hour of use the motor seized. Returned it with/for an $80 restocking fee :(. Bought this (VEVOR brand) one on Amazon for $160 and filled the hydraulic oil reservoir with SAE 20W-50 and is running like a champ!!! Not only is this more powerful than the Bauer Harbor Freight jack hammer but is also lighter and cheaper. Helped me do an interior french drain in my basement with 3-6 inches thick concrete. Works really well and is still going strong. A big thankful thumbs up!!!!!!!

Bought this for a renovation my wife and I are doing. I was wary of the low price and for good reason. - The instructions are terrible. - There is NO mention of the fact that you must fill it with oil prior to use in the instructions nor does it include the oil. They do however include a cheap pair of gloves and goggles. I knew it needed oil but had to look up the type to go and get. I wonder how many DIY'ers read the instructions but have never used this type of equipment and didn't know to go get oil and fill it up before using it. I did a lot of construction in the past but I don't do enough now to warrant buying a top of the line tool. I figured if this could get me thru just this one job it would pay for itself but it petered out on the second day. It worked good on the brick fire pit we demo'ed on the first day. One the 2nd day we needed to chip out a section of our 4" slab for plumbing. We saw cut the slab and then proceeded to jack hammer out portions a couple of feet at a time. About 15 minutes in it just quit. The trigger was loose and moving around in the housing and could no longer be pressed in. I took the handle apart and noticed the plastic pieces/screw holes holding the switch in position had broken. I attempted to rig it back up but it failed again after 5 minutes so I finished the job with my MUCH smaller Bosch chipping hammer and a large rock bar. Going to see if I can return it. Cost me time and $. Should've trusted my gut and went with a more moderately priced tool. Definately would not recommend.
