Review: Great for Tile Demo! Well worth the Money! - Great Demo Hammer. I am a General Contractor and we use it for residential tile, light concrete demo. We used to rent this same model from the Big Box Store. Decided to finally get our own. Very strong blow power for the weight, heavy enough to break tile, light concrete, but light enough not to wear you out too quick, adjustable handle helps to switch up positions and save the back. Glad we got our own finally, it should pay for itself within a couple of jobs. Latest job was 1300 sq ft saltillo demo, no problem for this hammer with 2" tile bit. Rented thinest scraper to remove thinset, not a problem either. Includes nice box, Bull point chisel, and small tube of grease, also what looked like a shop towel that said "Makita" on it, that was a one time use and don't know why the wasted the money to put that in. We had a BOSCH, about the same size, it needed too much money to repair, I like this one much better. Bottom Line= Great for light duty demo!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tough hammer
*by T***. on August 24, 2025*

Gets job done removes tile floor with ease

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy enough for light work, light enough to manage.
*by K***R on November 20, 2024*

Using for post holes in combination with clam diggers. Hard pan goes away. Wore out a couple of these over years of crew work, ain't a 90# jack like we sometimes treated it. Very good demo hammer for intended use. I like it.
