Thank you

Yes, I was using the same tool to brake many stones on my property. I am planning to post some videos soon, showing its capabilities.

Thanks ❤❤❤

Thank you very mach :)

Yes we will :)

You are very welcome, it drove me crazy too

You are welcome, glad I was able to help. Cheers

I was in your shoes, you are very welcome.

You are welcome.

Great question! I actually tried using wedges to split larger pieces, but it didn’t quite work out. In one of my videos, I’m working on a rock that’s about 4-4.5 feet tall. Eager for quick results, I started with wedges, but they just couldn’t handle that size. Heftier wedges might have done the trick, but they’d require larger diameter drill bits, which would mean a more powerful hammer drill. I actually rented a heavy-duty hammer drill and rented one from Home Depot with a 1.5-inch drill bit. And even then, it took about 30 minutes to drill a 5-inch-deep hole. That’s when I decided to give Dexpan a try. When I drill a 12-inch hole and fill it with Dexpan, it works like a 12-inch “wedge” that applies pressure evenly along the entire length of the hole, not just the top. This makes it much easier to split large pieces and gives better control over the split direction. For smaller rocks, I still use my feathers and wedges, and they work perfectly! Cheers!

you are welcome

Sure. More details in the description to the video and links to Amazon store. But here is a drill I used - BOSCH GBH2-28L 1-1/8" SDS-plus Bulldog Xtreme Max Rotary Hammer . And I used 2 drill bits - I started with BOSCH HC2107 5/8 In. x 16 In. x 18 In. Bulldog SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer Bit and enlarged the hole with BOSCH HC2127 3/4 in. x 16 in. x 18 in. Bulldog SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer Bit. Wishing you luck with your project. I am planning soon to post new video about new project.

@@privateprivate5928 it looks like a flake, but it’s very heavy, and I can handle it.

Je vous en prie.

Thank you. I used 3/4 right away and did not use water to cool bits. I did not show in this video, but I have 3 or 4 bits and I used them sequentially. I used the first one for about a minute, and then place it on a rock to cool and used the second one. Then the third, forth, and then the first one again, the second and so on. This way you don't overheat drills and prolong their usefulness. Also, I did not push too hard, just very slightly. Hopefully, it helps. Cheers

Thanks for the info. I tried drilling a similar looking boulder with a dewalt cordless dch293b. Ate 2 batteries in 2 8in 3/4" holes. Milwaukee 4 point bit. So trying to get more mileage out of the drill and bits. Will try multiple bits and/or look at a water cooling setup. How long did it take per hole on yours? Thanks.

@@MrBoatside, you are welcome. With a used bit, it took me about 6 minutes per hole 3/4 bit. By the way here is a link to another video where I use bits in chain (ua-cam.com/video/8Ha-PpC90V4/v-deo.html) I am not sure if water cooling system won't make your bits rusty or weak. Cheers

Thank you. I did not use anything to plug holes, you wouldn't need it. Just fill holes with the material. Only in case if you are expecting a rain, you can cover all holes with a plastic bag, making sure your mixture will not get diluted. Cheers

Thank you very much. Since childhood, I've learned this method to watch solar eclipses. Cheers

Hey, I hope that did not bring bad memories. Nowadays, there is practically nothing left out of the factory. Now it is the best dive site in the north-east, albeit it is getting more and more baring. Cheers

@@todivetodayoh no you didn’t she tells me story’s of how the fish factory was haunted and if you looked in the door you would see a workers helmet so I believed her but anyways it’s a eye sore from the wacko and Quartey bay to it was kinda cool that they were going to try to turn it in to a “five star Hotel” and just a question can u see it from Rosies? Been awhile sense I’ve been in Eastport don’t go over there much only Pembroke and Calais

No,@@Hubs-d3f, you can't see it standing at Rosie's hot dog stand, the street serves. I must say that I love going to Eastport, I even contemplate the idea of getting a small place there. It is my favorite place to visit, even during the winter, and to dive. By the way, this winter (2024) for the first time I saw such big waves, that it may have been a record. I'll send you a note when I post it, it was quite a spectacle, you wouldn't recognize the place. Cheers

@@todivetoday ok can’t wait to see it!

What does “promo sm” mean? Thanks

Yes, it is a good technique if it air temperature drops below 32F or 0C. Water can expend 9% of its volume, which is plenty to crack a rock. Cheers

Type 1. Sorry for the delayed response.

thank you. Sorry for getting back so late. But I never got any notifications about left comments. It is most likely my mistake, I'll check why I do not get 'em. Cheers My understanding, the difference between the three types of materials is the outside temperatures that aforementioned material can be applied. some can be used when it's very hot outside, and some when it's colder. Cheers

I beg to disagree. Он а1:27 it is out from the sunlight, but it's still confused.

​@todivetoday docking location needs improvement, move it further away from the wall and let it clean with no direct sunlight on floors and it will do well

I would not pour water on a hot tip. My technique to minimize the heat of the tip and prolong its service life - is to change bits often. I do not push too hard, when I drill, giving a chance to a drill to do its work. A minute later I remove the drill, place it on the rock, and in the meantime, I insert the second drill. A minute later, I repeat the process and inserted a third drill. Then I return to the first one and so on. I would not recommend using water on a hot drill bit tip. Cheers

You need to keep the drill tip cool by drizzling water in.

Sorry for getting back so late. I never got any notifications about left comments. It is most likely my mistake, I'll check how to get them in time. The unit I used is BOSCH GBH2-28L 1-1/8" SDS-plus Variable-speed Bulldog Xtreme Max Rotary Hammer. I do not know what time of a rock I worked with, but I think it is a granite.

Buy a high quality drill bit and don't do a pilot hole. Just do the 5/8 straightaway. Don't push the drill any more than necessary, let the drill do the hammering

@@leeknivek Since my original post I got a Bosch rotary hammer drill similar to yours. Also I bought some wedge and feathers 1" and of course a 1" rock bit. I am unstoppable now and spend my days finding rocks to crack. Just get the right tools and the job is easy.

For all these holes I used about a pound of the material and I was adding some water until I got homogeneous mixture. Sorry for the late response.

All I could think about as the video started was “nice place to start the project right there.” If it wasn’t a time sensitive project and was in a zone that regularly freezes in winter, I would have just worked with water and makeshift wedges to make that crack do the work for me

I was going to comment on the Red plate myself.

Milford. Cheers
