This machine is a beast. It chewed through 25 foot of 6" thick concrete like it was nothing. Made a difficult job for an old guy like me a piece of cake. Can't recommend this unit highly enough, if destruction is your game ;) Cheers Rob
I know what you mean about noise level. Used one for one day back in the early 1970's, here we are in the 2020's and my ears are still ringing. They didn't worry about hearing protection back then.
Totally agree I bought a Chinese 240V jackhammer like that 10 years ago, looks identical other than mine is all grey. I had the same logic it was cheaper than a couple of days hire. So much easier than an SDS drill. Only repair I have had to make was the power cable, but that's just wear and tear.
Yes, I started off trying my SDS drill and it did the job, but too slow and heaps of kickback because of the low mass. The big VEVOR one is a whole new ball game and just eats this concrete. Cheers Rob
That's an awesome tool Rob. Not something I would have a use for, but would love to have a go with it. Making short work of your old concrete. Cheers Nobby
Hi Nobby. Not something I would normally buy, but for a specific purpose, breaking up concrete, it can't be beat. I'm half way through removing thick concrete from the 25 foot wide workshop front. Easy as. It would have been a nightmare without this. Great power tool. Cheers Rob
the instructions talk about grease and also oil. is that interchangable? i noticed that there's grease where you insert the bits so I'm wondering if you're supposed to add grease there also??
The reservoir only takes oil You can grease the blade/attachment end where it connects as well (same as for smaller rotary hammer drills). In use some oil works down into that area and I haven't found it necessary. The reservoir appears to feed oil using a wick system. The trouble with grease is that it makes a mess when handling the attachments and collects dirt. Cheers Rob.
I guess the PPE included is to cover those that have nothing - one time use and absolute minimum. (They are selling a jack hammer after all). I think the idea is get get yourself some proper gear if you don't already have it.

Yes, they can mess with your hearing. Some sound like a machine gun. This one's not too bad. Quite OK with decent muffs on. Cheers Rob

solid review thanks m8
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Rob
That tool's a real banger.

Great for opal mining. Careful rob on all day use shoulders are unsupported. Great utube voice & presentation.
Thanks. It's a fair bit of weight to heft about. Opal mining ? Hmmmm hadn't thought of that one. Cheers Rob
A very impressive bit of kit for the price Rob 👍👍
Hi Alan. It's invaluable for breaking up concrete flooring on the workshop ATM. Well worth the money. Cheers Rob
Cool toy!!!
It's a beast. I ripped up another 10 feet of reinforced concrete with it this morning. Way to go. Cheers Rob
I predict a future video when you strike oil in the back yard🤣
eyup Rob
wow, thats a beast!!!!! Hope i never need one though🤔🤔🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Looks good, and at that price it's a bargain! Fortunately I don't need one.😄

@@Xynudu all right. thanks for the info!
I could one of these to help me dig in my solid clay soil.
What kind of oil?
I put in some air tool oil. I don't think it matters provided it's anti foaming and SAE 10 - 20. I've seen ATF and engine oil used.
It's good you like it, but with all the ppe it came with, ear plugs are something of an oversight.
I'm a muffs person, but I was expecting some ear plugs in the kit.
I guess the PPE included is to cover those that have nothing - one time use and absolute minimum. (They are selling a jack hammer after all). I think the idea is get get yourself some proper gear if you don't already have it.
Certainly looks the business
Works very well. Chews through concrete. I'm half done ripping up the old cement. Would have been a nightmare without this.
Do you still like it after almost a year?
Absolutely. It's fantastic. I've chopped out a lot of cement flooring with it using the chisel point and it's been no effort. Great unit.
@@Xynudu thank you Sir, I'll get one too.
