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. UPDATE: I have been using this jackhammer for two years of heavy home use and it has been flawless. I can't recommend it enough. I almost never have had to add oil.

This jackhammer is priced well below its class. Looks sharp, feels solid. It is quite heavy and gets the job done for its size. Great for removing tile. It will break concrete slabs but I’d suggest something heavier if that’s your primary use.

So far so good, had some concrete chunks that I couldn't move easily to get rid of - less than 40 min later the job was done. Tool seems very solid and for the general use folks I think this tool is worth the money.

Great Value, a real workhorse, have busted all the ledge we intended for it (and then went on to bust alot more, 'cause it did work really, really well power-wise, so why not tackle that other ditch you weren't going to bother with?) BUT, it will not accept any other bit except those sold by Xtremepower... So, while I do very much recommend the tool, don't buy it unless the bits you need are available from Xtremepower. I've tried Bosch, DeWalt and Milwaukee bits and none of those will fit (they're all 65A spec which has a hex shank that is straight for the entire length of the head-end whereas this tool will only accept a bit that has a specific taper at the very top and while you could probably grind that in, I believe the top of the shank is hardened and you would lose the advantage of that hardening which is at least one of the reasons you're buying a more expensive bit). Also, again while I very much recommend this tool you should know that using the very simple and minimally designed power switch for more than an hour or two is detrimental to that finger. Even after a month (after about 10-15 hours of use) and my trigger finger is still numb deep into the finger. Use heavy padded gloves and maybe even some extra finger tip padding or an alternate trigger mechanism if you want to avoid a long recovery for your trigger finger. Next I'd point out the side-handle, the "D" handle, is sufficient but not much more than that. It's construction has sharp edges and cotter pins sticking out and is easily one of the cheaper components of the tool. However, as noted, it is sufficient in that you can use it effectively to control the placement of the tool, it gets the job done. Just don't expect any more than that, it is very basic and barely comfortable to use but, again, it is sufficient enough to get the job done. Other than these caveats, for the price and the power and so far, the longevity of the tool, you should feel comfortable investing the $150 or so,

---Update, July 16, 2019, Three years later--- Ok, three years later and here is the take-away… TAKE ONE AND GO! Doesn't use much oil, still on the first fill-up from when it was new (used the recommended oil) and the tank is more than half full. I now have all of the attachments available on Amazon. Each has it's place and works well. Do keep the point sharpened once it dulls out, that makes a difference. Driving fence posts / chainlink fence pipe / grounding rods is great if you can keep the thing balanced during the process. Great for digging in very hard/compact dirt. This is the tool that ends up getting loaned out to friends and neighbors time and time again! Literally, it comes home for a few weeks and then finds it's way out to another DIY project up the street or around the block. Everyone who has used it says "WOW, that was so much better than the other tool (either bigger or smaller) that I was using." Sure I give them a little coaching on where it best fits compared with a larger 60+ lb jack hammer, a plain old sledge hammer (still the right tool in lots of places, like driveway slab removal), and a hammer drill. ---Original Review--- I ordered this demolition hammer to finish off the removal or a water feature (fountain / pond) in front of my fixer upper after having rented the 60lb Bosch Brute Turbo (~$1700 to purchase, ~$80 rental) the previous weekend. Here are some comparison thoughts for others weighing the rent (a bigger tool) vs buy (a smaller tool) decision. Each option should be considered with a different perspective. For working on a flat slab, the bigger tool has more power, and its own weigh to stand behind it. The moment you start working on uneven surfaces, like the sides of a cement pond, or climbing over rocks of a small waterfall, the small tool is greatly appreciated. Any funny angle surface you start working on with the larger tool and the jack hammer wants to walk its way down, banging your knees as it goes. Practice makes perfect... and leaves bruises. The smaller tool (Xtremepower US 2200...) still has plenty of power for most around the house purposes. It's smaller size and un-even handles are not as ideal as the larger tool when everything it upright, but they are much better the moment you are working on anything that is not flat. In my experience on some sort of very tough concrete (an average slab would have been a piece of cake) the sharpness of the point was more important. The rental tool came with a point which has certainly seen a lot of use and been well beaten down. The sharp point on the end of a fresh bit which came with this hammer was excellent at pounding a small hole, and then splitting pieces apart. I also found that the sharp point changed my plan of attack. With the larger Bosch I spent more time on each location, trying to break off larger chunks to haul off, which were heavy enough that the wife an kids couldn't help toss them in the wheel barrow. With the smaller hammer I aimed at pieces a quarter the size or less and had them breaking off five times as fast. The bonus was that everyone could lend a hand in the clean up. Starting over, I would purchase the smaller tool, and skip the rental for the kind of work I had to do. (Fountain removal, some plumbing rerouting, odds and ends concrete projects.) The place I would go back to a large tool is for lots of flat slab removal. By lots I mean more than 600 square feet and no other projects insight. I do have about 350 square feet of slab removal to do in one location, and another 5-600 square feet in another and am planning to use this tool for it. I'll update this once I get through those in the coming month. I've used the tool for about 5-6 hours now and have not noticed any loose bolts or screws. The oil tank on mine came with about a 1/4 of the tank filled, more than several of the previous reviews mentioned. I do think that I will increase the gauge of the electrical cord, the 16 awg wire it comes with clearly appears under rated for the tool. The bit is designed to float around in the holder. It can get stuck tightly enough that it feels jammed in place. That also seems to hold the bit away from the internal mechanism which strikes it making the machine vibrate but not hammer away. It seemed similar to the behavior some users described. I found that I could lean on the jack hammer and the bit would pop loose and go back to working as intended. I didn't experiment, but a little more oil on the top of the bit may resolve the sticking behavior. --- Update 25 Aug 2016 --- At purchase I also ordered the "TR Industrial TR89102 Clay Spade Scoop Shovel Bit for Electric Demolition Jack Hammer, Silver". It's turned out to be a great help for loosening hard packed soil under stumps so it can be worked out. Easier and faster than using a pick and shovel. The demolition hammer is a bit heavy to use for a lot of scooping, but it's weight is an asset for pounding the shovel in, then leaning it over to loose the soil. Working along a trench or around a stump with someone to follow up scooping the loose material out works well. It's also easy to work shoulder to should since no one had to worry about getting hit by a swinging pick.

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.

Unbeliveable. My $1,400 Bosch tanked after 10 years. Got this until I could find parts for old Bosch. Not looking for repair parts now. This thing is impressive. Busted up an 8ft wide by 100ft 4in deep drive in 2 days by myself at the age of 50. Yes bits are hardened. It has a 15 amp plug even though it says 2200 watts. According to kil-o-watt it pulls 1870 watts@120 volts. Make sure you use a 12ga extension cord for runs up to 100ft. Tried it on my 14ga but voltage drop was severe and strained tool. What it nice is this design has time out of patent so anyone can build it now. It is the same design my grandfather used in the 1960s. Yes it's old school but buy a set of welder gloves to "soften" the blows. Really $159? Remember also to add oil it comes only with a drop of test oil you will burn it out if you don't. Manual says shell rotella which is Diesel engine oil 40w. Came with retightning wrench, oil sight glass removal tool for oil. Very sharp blunt tip bit and 1 1/2 wide spade bit. Sorry for long review but these were answers I looked for before buying. The only drawback is the case it is very cheap plastic and arrived cracked but I don't need it. Blow force is actually 37 to 41 pounds quite impressive. Becareful when using it is very easy especially after you tire to rest tool against leg blocking air cool intake heating motor up fast. Anyway for you Union guys that will bark at me for getting this (I have spent thousands over the years buying american when possible) this hammer does what the $900 hammers do. Laughing all the way to the bank.

There are definitely some problems - mostly ergonomic. Let me start though by saying it works well for the price. Cheaper than renting after a couple of uses. Why the 3 stars then? The first star is lost because it's sold as a 2200 watt tool. It's not even close. I measured it with a Kill-A-Watt meter and though I can't remember exactly, I think it was around 1700 watts. That's a huge difference! People buy things based on power so technically that is a word that starts with "F" and rhymes with broad (I can't type it here because Amazon won't let you do say that even though it's a clear case, legally and by any other sense). This is a recurring problem with tools made in this country. The other star is lost because it is not ergonomically correct. What the "designers" (copiers?) have done is take the design for a small horizontal hammer and scaled it up, thinking that will be OK. But this will be used 99% of the time in the vertical mode. The trigger handle is not shaped well for this, nor is the helper handle in the right placed for this. Also, there are lots of sharp edges that just lign up with your knees - lots of bruises to prove this. Another problem is the helper handle in the position where this fits in the nice case that's provided, is in the exactly wrong place to use it. And it is not simple to move it. So if you use it a lot, you end up not putting it back in the case. The chisel did have a corner chip off too right away. One more thing on the ergonomics - the cooling air inlet sits right where you naturally want to rest your leg against, which of course then blocks the cooling air. Again - poor design. Just making the cooling slots curve around the edge to let in air even if you rest against that part would have been a simple design improvement. But the "engineers" who work over there don't understand how things actually work.... After saying all that, would I buy it again? Probably. It has worked well and busted up a lot of 5-6 inch concrete for me (though it was admittedly somewhat green). No leaks yet. No screws falling out. As long as you know the ergonomics are rough, and the wattage is not as advertised, you can decide from there.

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.

Estéticamente se ve bien, No la hemos usado por lo que la opinión la daremos después.

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.

This may not be the prettiest girl at the dance, and there may be girls with shorter skirts, but if you need something to get the job done, this'll do just fine. I used this to open up my basement for a sewer line replacement, chopped through the floor with no problems, and for only a little bit more than it would have cost me to rent one for the same time period. Both bits, the chisel and the point, are heavy duty and stood up to the job, kit even came with a pair of work gloves to help out. This is not a light tool, it is big and heavy so you'll need a bit of muscle to operate it, and it's not great in tight spaces, however these are things that are to be expected to get the right tool for the job. A set of earplugs would be highly recommended as well, but again, thats part of the job. I don't know how well it would stand up to long term usage, for construction work for example, but as a weekend warrior just trying to get a job done, this is a great option.
