JACKHAMMER EXPERIENCE ?

Posted by justme on March 22, 2009, 3:21 pm

Has anyone ever used a H.F. LARGE jackhammer AND a Bosch Brute jackhammer?

I need to break up some limestone and harder rocks underground.

I already bought a H.F. unit but haven't gotten it yet.

Has anyone every made one self-supporting on a 3 or four-wheeled cart
whereby one didn't have to hold the unit?

Thanks

You may could rent a bobcat with a jack hammer mounted on it instead of the
bucket, that may be more then you need though

Craig M. Has the best advice.......A small track backhoe....with hammer
attached.
I have used the gas powered jack hammer and really like it.
It is about a 70# or so unit, and no hose........Off you go.
the work is not that bad, but gloves, and earplugs, a necessary item.
