Have Hammer, will Demo, January 25, 2008
By superduper from Walnut Creek, CA

"Like
the Bosch Brute. this hammer will tear up concrete slabs, block wall,
old foundations, etc with ease. Like the Brute, it is also a bear to
lug around and you'll soon find yourself fatigued in short order,
unless you are built like Arnold Schwartzenneger. When driving the bits
in deep, I recommend that you do a little bit at a time or else you'll
drive it in too deep and find that you can't retract the bit from the
material being worked easily. The weight is bad enough but when the bit
is wedged into the material, all I can say is that you'll wished you
didn't try to go too deep in one shot. I"ve had no problems with this
unit but then again, how many patios and driveways do most people do in
a year? Unless your job is specifically tearing out concrete, I can't
imagine this tool to ever wear out in occassional use. It is impossible
to use this tool in any position other than in a standing position.
Side wall demo is out of the question due to the weight but also
because there is no handle to hold it in any horizontal position, even
if you were strong enough to attempt that. But then again, these tools
are not designed for such functions. For those jobs, you'll want to
consider some of the lighter demo hammers.
As a side note, I highly recommend that you consider instead the newer
1810 model, which is slightly heavier but hits harder and employs
AVS,(anti-vibration-system or something like that) which appears to be
a counter balancing system which Makita claims reduces the vibration to
a much more acceptable number. I've used and rented the Bosch Brute as
well as this makita but the one I eventually purchased for my own
personal use is the Makita HM1810 entirely because of the
Anti-Vibration feature. You'll find that it hits slightly harder than
the brute, will run off of standard 15 amp 120v circuit and you can use
it for long extended periods of time without your arms and wrists
wanting to fall off. I was especially concerned with the Brute because
after extended use, I felt like my hands/arms/wrists were still
vibrating days after. The newer makita HM1810 is much better at
isolating you from those vibrations."
