Got this to remove ceramic tile, its way better than i ever imagined! I got it to do large areas but its actually light enough that i use it even in small bathrooms. I have a small bosch sds plus demo hammer that i use to use and still planned to use in small areas but this is surprisingly so much quieter and so so much faster that i pretty much use it exclusively.

I can do about a ten by ten area in about fifteen min (thats removing the tiles from the floor thats not including putting them in dumpster, sweeping the area etc). I cant say what this thing will do for other things but in the 18 yrs i have installed tile i have never seen or imagined anything close to how fast this removes tile and mortar.

Already owner of a MAKITA router for 43 years (EH YES) who has worked a lot (installer of fitted kitchens and restoration of an old rig), I FINALLY find real material; what happiness. If this device could last as long, it will make my little children happy. Xavier MANSART

Good jackhammer, but compared to the previous model without the AVT system at equivalent power, I find it less striking power. But to demolish a concrete slab it does the job no problem, however in a horizontal position it is difficult to maintain it for a long time.
