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