XtremepowerUS 61108-XP Jack Hammer w/Point & Chisel Bits Electric 2200W Demolition Construction Concrete Breaker Punch Drill

Absolutely a Bargain! I have been using this jack hammer for close to a year on various projects at home--breaking up an asphalt driveway, breaking through underground rock, etc. and have never been disappointed. Will it last forever?--probably not, but it should give me several years of dedicated service. The 45 lb. weight is heavy, but manageable. At 73, I can still handle the jack hammer with no problem, but it might not be the case for everyone. The jack hammer comes in a nice heavy-duty case. I ordered three bits for it, but have mainly used the flat 1-ich edge bit. In the fine print of some other reviews, Shell Rotella T1 SAE 40 Heavy Duty Engine Oil was recommended, which I purchased at our local auto parts store. I have yet had to add any oil though. Just keep an eye on the oil level through the small round window. Like most items, a low review is likely due to someone not reading the instructions or not caring for the jack hammer properly. An example: Putting the bit in is tricky, as one has to pull the metal piece on the side of the hammer barrel out and twist 180 degrees in order for the bit to slide in all the way, then pull the small metal piece out again and reverse to the original position. It takes a bit pf practice to master. Once the bit is in, you are good to go. Just watch the oil level. Is the hammer noisy?--Yes, but it is a jack hammer. Be sure to wear your hearing protection. I am thinking of ordering a second of these jack hammers before the prices go up due to the tariffs.

I bought the 2200 watt jack hammer to break theough the basement concrete floor to install a backwater valve to prevent any sewage from ever backing up. The price of the 2200 watt jack hammer was about the same as two days rental at the big box store's, so the price is right. I read on line to let the jack hammers weight do the work, this is almost completely correct. When starting, one must apply a slight downward pressure initially, or it will bounse all around; then let the weight do its job. Once that was figured out, it was easy to use. The case is overall a good case; however, the latches tend to get knocked off. The case definitely makes it easier to store. The bits are 1-1/8" hex, so they are more popular/readily available than the smaller jack hammers. If using it to compact dirt, the compacting bit is on the expensive side, so for what I needed, the old foot stomp method worked quite well. Be sure to add the oil prior to first use by unscrewing the site gauge. I used a purple 40 weight synthetic brand of oil, actually I think it was a 15w-40w. There a little leakage down the bit, but I think that would be expected to keep it lubricated and cool during use. When grabbing the bit after use, it will get the black dirty oil over the glove/hand, so take the necessary precautions. Some people claim it won't hold the bit in, and I also wondered how to do it ubutuakkt. Here's how, after sliding the bit in, there is a spring loaded knob which is pulled out and rotated 180 degrees to lock it in. To remove the bit, just rotate the knob 180 degrees again. In addition, like others have commented, it it doesn't start hammering when initilly pulling the switch, raise the jack and let it smack down on the concrete, and it will work just fine. Considering everything, it is a great value and you probably won't go wrong if a jack hammer is needed... . . Now what other project can I think of to use this for?

We in the process of replacing rotted 6×6 wood posts which are set in concrete. On day one I rented a big Makita jack hammer. Working and controlling that 80 lbs tool at below ground level proved to be challenging, with the biggest problem being the Makita's bits kept repeatably getting stuck, which required a lot of strength or removing the bit to get it freed up. One day's rental cost in my area was about $140. I bought this compact jack hammer based on the good reviews and I could,not be happier. For what we are doing, it is a much better tool. It is easier to control, does not get stuck as much and when it does, it is much easier to get it free. We are able to break the concrete faster with it. Mind you, we are working below ground level. The concrete starts about a foot deep and goes down about a foot or so. I also used it to break up part of a calichie (crushed limestone) RV pad. We had done this previously with a pick axe and a 6' impact bar and it was a nightmare. That compacted limestone was almost as hard a concrete. With this jack hammer, in 15 minutes I did what would take 2 or 3 hours of very hard work. I read that some people complain about oil leaks. Yes, there is some oil coming out where the bit is mounted and the top portion of the bit will be coated with oil. No big deal. Grab a paper towel and wipe the bit off once you are finished and have removed it. The case the tool comes with is nice too. The gloves are cheap but useable. The gogles are almost a throw away item, but if you don't have eye protection, they will work in a pinch. So far the tool has about 20 hours of use on it and has already more than paid for itself. Don't forget to fill it with oil before you start using it and check oil level each day you are ready to use it. November 16th 2023 update - still going strong. This tool has seen lots of use over the last 10 weeks and still working great. We always check the oil level before use. For the work that we use it for it is much better then a full size jackhammer. For the price, if it failed today, I would order another one immediately.

Muy buen precio y máquina, lo compre para usos d la casa y m funcionó de maravilla, sólo ay q saber usarlo

A cumplido bien los trabajos para lo que lo he ocupado.

Look, honestly, I've only had this thing for a couple of days so I don't know how valuable this review is. I certainly can't speak for its long term reliability. Anyway, it came a day ahead of time and I started jackhammering the concrete in my basement. I'm installing a anti backwater valve. Oil was up to the level the instructions indicated. I checked because I've heard people got these without oil sometimes. I laughed when I saw they included a face mask, gloves and safety glasses. A nice touch really but I'm covered, thanks. This thing works great. I had the usual poor "con"tractor work done when the house was built. The basement floor wasn't level and yet the concrete was 7 inches thick in places, no kidding. With that kind of stupidity this thing wasn't super speedy but I doubt a very expensive one would have done any better. I noticed it got hot pretty quickly. I didn't want to push it so I worked it for 15 minutes and then I gave it a break while I packed out the broken concrete. I think if you take it easy with this baby it will last a long time. The thing I didn't like was the spongy feel of the support handle. I would have preferred hard plastic but that's OK. I also noted that when you bared down on it, sometimes it wouldn't "jack". I'd lift it up and thrust it down hard and it would start to do it's job. Strange...it was like it wasn't able to grab the chuck. And it's not 2200 watt. I had a humidifier running on the same circuit and never blew a breaker. Theoretical limit for a 15 amp circuit is 1650 to 1800 watts. I don't care as long as it does it's job. In conclusion, if you're not a pro and aren't going to ask a lot out of it, giving it a rest occasionally, it should be fine for the occasional job. For me, at least, it's cheaper than renting and I have the convenience of using any time I want. I'd recommend it and am glad I bought it. ETA: Have been using it for months now to break up my concrete basement and it's working great. I have to buy another bull point as mine is wearing out. This little guy is WELL worth it's cost. It's taking a while to break up 10 inch thick concrete but it's doing it.

I purchased this to chip through a concrete garage floor that was accidentally poured over the septic tank. Right out of the box I noticed the weight of this tool. It was heavy. The 2 bits that came with it were very sturdy looking also. I watched a youtube video on how to use an electric jackhammer correctly & got to work. I cut a short, but deep channel on one edge of the 30" square I wanted to remove. I started there chipping the concrete out & moving away from the channel as I broke through to the ground below. The pointed bit worked best for breaking pieces out. The chisel bit worked to square up the edges & a couple times to dig out the pointed bit when I got it stuck. I had someone removing chunks as I worked, so the tool got a pretty good steady workout. After about 3, 1/2 hours I had jackhammered out a 30" square through 6" of concrete with no issues from this tool. It did warm up a bit & it needed it's own circuit when plugged in to avoid tripping the breaker. The tool performed amazingly well in my opinion & would be great for small to medium jobs like I did. Well worth the investment I think. It's also a very good idea to watch a how-to video to avoid mistakes that make the job harder. Yes I would recommend this tool to others.

Funciona bien!!!
