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掳 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.
