I am looking to remove about 100 linear feet of 8" X 8" concrete footing for a block wall i'm knocking down in my backyard. Will this do the job?

Yes no problem. I have used mine for a pad twice that big already plus a set of stairs. I suggest lock tighting the bolts. Keep an eye on the the oil level and it should work for you for a long time

Probably not. Your footing probably has steel in it which will require something a bit heavier.

I'm not certain this is the right tool for your needs. I used it on limestone rock to dig fence posts and it worked well, but I was careful not to run too long so as not to overheat it. Not sure if it has the capacity to get through the kind of work you described. Good luck

I took out a 10x10 patio and part of a sidewalk. Slow going as it is not industrial, but it should do the job. I still have mine and it is in good shape.

I think it would. It will hold up and won't break down running hours at a time on and off, hardly even gets very hot. You may have to drill holes with the punch bit, to create cracking. I'm not sure how hard your concrete is, mine was 70 old and very hard.

That's a lot of concrete, not sure, all I know is it has served me well removing a front porch, busting concrete in a basement, and a lot of other things.Just make sure all bolts and nuts stay tight, (vibration loosens them) and keep oil in it. I'd definitely buy another but that's just me. Good luck!

I used mine to remove paint and stain from the patio around our pool. It did an awesome job and depending how much downward pressure you put, will determine how much concrete it removes.

for small anchors in brick or block walls its fine, however, if you looking to drill into a poured foundation you might want to look at a hammer drill

I don't think it's strong enough to do that, and I'd worry that it wouldn't rinse off your concrete completely. I'd call a contractor supply company for advice on that one. In Minnesota you could try companies like Brock White or Cemstone Contractor Supply, or do an internet search on construction supply companies.

If you thrust it into a concrete wall, I would say yes. If used as intended, I think you'll be fine.

Yes I can confirm this will work. Our home was being swallowed by the earth until I purchased one of these and installed it under the foundation... problem solved. Don't be fooled by the cheaper $4 ones, they might be good enough for a shed but if your main house is sinking do yourself a favor and buy this one instead.

Sure.... obviously your soil depth will be limited by the cement but I have mine sitting on a frame of cinder blocks.

Yes it can. I've seen 80 grit screen, but don't know if it will hold up against concrete. You could possible try a grinder with a dust shroud to cut down on dust.

I used it for concrete siding and it works great. I would think it would cut flooring no problem. Just keep using the stone on the blade regularly. Good luck. This is worth every cent great tool for the money

This 35 pound electric jackhammer works very well. I used it to remove about 100,000 pounds of rock and dirt aggregate from my 'coal' basement.It worked as well as the jackhammer I rented from Home Depot. It was more convenient and cheaper than the rental. Go for it.

It will but the blocks wIll do a number on the table top and the concrete dust might wreck the motor.a circular saw will work. Better.

It can do it but if you will be making frequent holes of this caliber i would suggest a Milwaukie hammer drill. But these do everything I need except drill through concrete slabs.

I used it to break up approximately 30 balls of concrete that were about half that size. Did it in a day! That hammer is cheap but gets the job done. Just makes sure it's oiled up properly.

I used this to drill through 1/2 inch slate and it worked well, so I don't think you would have any problem with concrete. Like Plumber 70 mentioned, you should mist the hole with water as you go to keep the bit cool.

I am not sure how it would work- my soil is sandy clay. However, I think if you didn't press down too hard, it would work the smaller rocks to the surface. It's not intended to work like a "big" tiller, if my ground is totally hard it just skitters around on top of it.

I used it on a 15 amp circuit without blowing the circuit. I think it would work on the concrete around fence post very well. I used it on a 14' X 22' slab and some spots it was as thick as 9 inches. One note, it doesn't come with enough of the oil so will need to get some 50W non-detergent oil. Make sure the hammer cyclinder is full before using it.

No problem. I've used it on 3/8" thick siding with great results along with heavy framing and metal connectors. I've found on the 1 1/2 - 2" nails you will need to turn your pressure down to about 50 psi and then ajust it up until you get the right penetration. I would suggest that if this is the only application you will be using this on, get a lighter gun. If you want an all purpose gun, this is the one to get.
