Adequate hammer

Customer Rating:
Nothing special about this. The spring that holds the chisel in broke on first use. Had to wait to use it until I could get a quick connect one on line. Not sure why the company would not include this for the price they are charging. Works adequately, not under powered but not overpowered either. Bought because reviews on this model were good. I guess I would say I do not agree wholeheartly with those folks.

GREAT HAMMER

Ingersoll Rand Air Hamme is Super Duty

Customer Rating:
I wanted to chip some granite so I bought a 20 dollar Kobalt Air Hammer. Two shifts of four hours running it non stop pretty much trashed it. No umph left. OK, maybe I should have read the directions and added some lubricant. I did that before the second stint and the oomph was back but not for long. I might rebuild it when I get the spare time.

Meanwhile paid 86 bucks for the Ingersoll Rand and am quite happy. The job I am doing is nonstop brutal hammering of rock. The Kobalt I am sure can handle the light work but this Ingersoll Rand feels like it is going to last. More heft and more power. 4 good turns at the rock and it's still quite peppy. I am oiling this one from the start so this review might not be completely fair to the Kobalt.

Chisels from both fit the new hammer. Now if someone could point me to a chisel that fits this hammer which will not wear out I would be happy. I have to grind a new edge every hour or so and they are getting short.

Great for tile removal.

Customer Rating:
I had to re-tile some bathroom floors, but ran into a problem. The ceramic tile was apparently put down with an adhesive that was meant to last 100 years. In the first bathroom I used a chisel and hammer to remove the tile by hand which took me a week to get the tile up. There had to be a better way so I bought this air hammer and gave it a try.

I was amazed how fast the tile came up with this tool. It works like a little mini hand-held jackhammer. I was able to remove the tile in just a few hours instead of a week doing it by hand. I am sure this handy little tool has many other uses that I may discover later, but for now I am very happy using it for tile removal.

There is one thing you must be aware of. This tool uses an air compressor. I only had a 1 gallon compressor which is not even close to adequate. I had to buy an 8 gallon and it worked great.
