demolition hammer or rotary

[plasterjfe]

looking at tools for hacking off and wondered is it worth buying a dedicated hammer or is a rotary hammer drill enough for render

Definately a chipping hammer. Rotary would be impossible when your using a wide ended chisel. Plus chipping hammers have the bit of extra weight that helps so your not havin to constantly push hard. Got a Bosch one off fleabay and it's payed for itself 10 times over. Awesome piece of kit! Really fast!

I would definately go for a dedicated power scraper.They are light enough to use all day and seem to go on forever. The rotary SDS drill/chisels will burn out in no time and the demolition hammers, while very powerfull, will have your arms droppin off after 20 mins. I use the Makita HK1800

Bruce you been on the forum too long mate its finally got to you

 

[plasterjfe]

I read that the hammers have a longer bore stroke and more power cos the rotary drills have more bits inside em so are less efficiant at hacking off

Used a 5 kilo cheapo rotary today and a 7 kilo Bosch proper breaker, no comparison the Bosch all day long, the cheap rotarys are worth having for small jobs but anything big hire the right tool and price it in the job.

so you guys think a normal makita sds or a ryobi breaker is no good for taking off tuff render? adn that this Makita HK1800 is better than a standered breaker?
