Good quality product

Good quality and price

I bought this specifically for a renovation project, taking a room back to the original brickwork by stripping off old lime plaster which a lot of had unfortunately blown. For the price, it’s a solid bit of kit, but it’s not without a minor "budget" quirk. ​The Good: The steel is surprisingly decent. It hasn't dulled yet despite several hours of pounding against masonry. It gets right behind the lime plaster and pops it off the brick in clean sections, which has saved me a lot of time and effort. ​The "Slight Issue": The rubber hand guard isn't actually fixed firmly to the shaft. While I’m working, the guard tends to slide up and down with the vibration and impact. It means every few minutes, I have to stop and knock it back into place to make sure my knuckles stay protected. ​Verdict: It’s not a dealbreaker, especially if you’re on a budget, and it does the job well once you get into a rhythm. Just be prepared for a bit of manual "re-adjustment" of the guard throughout your project. Good for DIY, but a pro might find the guard issue a bit tedious.

Good value .

Really happy with this, it helped me knock out some brickwork and then take off old tiling work, the handguard I found to be quite sturdy too. I thought it a good price and decent quality.

The item meet my expectations

Does the job, with a nice hand protector.
