Hope it lasts a long time. No real complaints. Its only been used on one job to tear out tile and it worked great.
No packing cushion on bottom of box, so by time it got to me had a cracked case from some hard landings on trucks. Kind of a cheap jack hammer for the little guy. Now have to find grease and tool on my own. They advertise that this tool comes with case, tool, case, hex wrench, and grease.
Bought this demo hammer 11/21/07. Major hassle to get returned, so will keep and fix and buy stuff myself. Amazon as usual did a poor job shipping the tool. As expected, all Hitachi tools are true quality tools.
As shipped, no grease or hex wrench enclosed. Come on Amazon, do a better job of packing for shipment. Am goign to demo an entire driveway, which will be a good test of the tool's durability. Not too happy with Amazon though.
Hammer is easy to use and control. He put a window where we needed a door. Used two inch scale chisel on tile three inch scale chisel on thin set. We scored the sides first with a diamond blade.
This hammer was perfect for my needs. My first demo hammer. I had to hammer out concrete around a tub drain. I consider myself a good handyman.
It took up floor tile like a hot knife through butter. I couldn't be more pleased. I am helping my wife's cousin build a 5K sq ft house. The hammer went through six inches of reinforced concrete with 7/8 inch chisel.
My only small compalaint is about the case. Overall a minor complaint. After a full week of research I have decided on this demo drill and I am completely happy with my purchase. It feels a little flimsy and the tabs that close it are made of rubber. This is my first Hitachi product and if they make their other tools like this then this one won't be my last one from them. It goes through concrete with ease and the included chisel they give you is a nice touch. I am currently starting to demo a basement floor in a early 1900's house and so far it hasn't even broken a sweat.
