I always clean my own tools after use and think it's only fair to do the same when hiring them. I think some hire firms also charge for cleaning- I don't blame them at all. Thanks for the comment 👍
If you rent keeping equipment and don't lean it before returning it then there's a cleaning fee. The choice is save money and clean it or spend money to have it cleaned. GREED 101
I always clean rental tools before returning them. I don't even care if there's a cleaning fee, I do it because it's right. It's how I like others to return my tools to me.
I don't know about the place they rented the tool from but I know here in the US if you return a rental tool without cleaning it the company will charge you a high cleaning fee.
Me and my mate (Josh) been helping out my wonderful neighbours, remove a concrete conservatory base. It’s great doing work like this in good weather 😉 I everyone has a great Sunday
Very enjoyable to watch. Love these kind of work helping out others. Your dedication to overall correctness is wonderful. Your were doing right to emphasize the use of safety protection and cleaning up the tool at the end.
Great video, for anyone looking at renting a breaker it can be just as cheap to buy. I bought a £99 breaker brand new from screw fix, then sold it after I had finished with it for £65. Yes, it's not quite as good as the Hilti, but it did the job and I could take as long as I wanted to do it as I wasn't paying per day.
Great video, thank you...Just bought an Aldi 1900w/60Joules/22kg breaker...hope it's going to be ok...Great video...and great to see you clean the tool before going back to the shop...proper order!
@@ultimatehandyman Thanks for the reply! They are indeed. This Ferrex breaker is identical to a Scheppach AB1900, in fact it is the very same one, made by Scheppach & rebadged for Aldi/Ferrex. It retails for 250stg on Amazon yet I bought the Ferrex version for 99 euro (90stg). Of course these tools are not for daily use like the excellent Hilti but for an occasional job & with a 3 year warranty they are amazing.
Been wanting to remove the ramp to my house from the drive since we moved in over 2 yrs ago but haven't got round to it....accidently reversed in2 it this morning and took up a tile, so came running 2 U tube and ur video come up 1st, BRILLIANT just wot I needed thank U, Im feel motivated now 🙆♀️😅💪💃
Best way to keep the dust down, is have a hose with a fine spray & keep the area damp. A good point about covering up the glass doors, I knew someone years ago who was mowing their lawn & the blade flicked a stone up & shattered the glass back door!
A very easy thing to do that speeds up the break is to make a grid. Say for a 2 by 8 slab you go and put lines ever 25 cm in a grid. Then, on those lines you drill (with a thin drill, so fast) every 8 cm. A sledge hammer and a splitting chisel will do the rest. I think that the best part about doing things this way (outside the therapeutic nature of hitting things with a sledge hammer, i mean, people pay for this kind of stuff) is the fact that the concrete comes out as manageable slabs. If there's one thing i hate about chipping concrete, it's the cleanup. Just my 2 cents, not really "the way" to do it. :)
I ran a 90 lb pneumatic hammer for an entire summer. It took 6 months before I got feeling back in my hands. Hats off to the guys who do this every day for a living.
Screwfix sells a massive breaker about the same size for £150. No doubt it wont be anything like the Hilti in terms of quality but worth bearing in mind. I got one and it knocks concrete apart pretty well.
And I have that Titan one from Screwfix. It’s excellent. So to say no doubt it won’t be anything like the Hilti is a fair point in terms of relative costs, but the Titan has never let me down.
you are very responsible user. you clean up this power tool after work done. really appreciate it! question: if I use this tool to demolish 1mx1m brick-wall of my kitchen, will my downstair and upstair neighboor disturbed with the noise and vibration? what I can do to reduce the disturbances? thank you..
I would not use this to demolish a wall, you need a different model for that. It's best to warn your neighbours first and speak to a structural engineer before demolishing walls 😉 Thanks for the comment 👍
Chez, sorry, I couldn't resist. In Hereford, Hereford and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly ever happen. ruclips.net/video/-gA7qq7Ja4U/видео.html Those Lancastrians don't talk propper like wot we do, tha nos!
If I were to break up a concrete base like in this video, could I run a wacker over the top of the bigger pieces of concrete to break them down smaller so I could compact them down to make a sub base for laying a patio on top?
No, the pieces would be too large. They have massive crushers for crushing old concrete to a size that will make it suitable for use as crush and run. Thanks for the comment
So I need to I need to remove from existing concreate patio but leave the rest. As I have an old wooden learn to sitting on it. This means I need a clean edge/cut. I also don't want to disturb the foundation for the lean to. I have a Silverline breaker already I'm worried if I use that it will disturb the lean to concrete foundation any tips?
I've just hired this from hss to do imprinted concrete in our back garden. I can't find the other video you said about removing it to the skip..... How long did that part take? Did uoi use a wheel Barrow etc?
Thanks I need to remove a concrete base underneath my green-house which i was dreading. Will definately hire a breaker instead of using my SDS 4kg drill.
Very expensive. My neighbour got a 8 ton skip, which cost about £240. We filled it this Saturday and there was still another half a skip load, but luckily a local farmer is taking it. The hard part was getting it to the skip! Thanks for the comment
I think it's about 16 amps (110v) In the UK we normally use 230v but most sites require you to use 110v power tools, so most hired equipment is 110v (hence the transformer). Thanks for the comment 👍
Hi Sir, Have you ever installed a lintel above a door? What is your take on these concrete cutting chainsaws. To me they seem the most suitable for such a job. Or should I consider other tools as well?
Yes, I have but it was years ago. I used Acrow props and strong boy attachments above where the lintel was to be placed. I then used a 9 inch angle grinder and diamond disc to remove the mortar, but you could consider a reciprocating saw and TCT blade, like this- fave.co/3bqTz2S Or, you might consider hiring one of these- ruclips.net/video/2dYgYl0dxOo/видео.html (I've never used one) Thanks for the comment 👍
"It needs to be transported to a skip, which is not as easy as you might think" half the job! one 2000'er can feed four guys running pales 50m. 8 men if you're bucketing trough a building still in use, down four flights of stairs cause the service elevator isn't rated to carry anything other than supermarket sushi and loo rolls
You’ve got to be the first tradesman I’ve ever seen clean a hire tool, good on you! Their normally in a right state when I pick them up

I like your thoughtfulness of cleaning the machine before returning it, not many people are that considerate and it's very refreshing to see...
If I borrow, or hire something, I always return it in the condition that I received it in.

Aldi tools are often great for the money. Obviously they are nowhere near as good as Hilti, but for occasional use, it should be fine 👍

At first I thought you were going to do it all with your SDS..... 🤣
I would still be breaking it now 😁 - although I love that Bosch multi-drill, it is not designed for jobs like this.

Great tips, thanks. Would you recommend removing a conservatory whilst keeping the base? How would you handle drainage/DPC issues?

HOW DO YOU BUST UP THE CONCRETE?
Very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Do you think saw cutting 2 diagonal lines in the concrete would have helped speed the process?
It might have done, but I'm not sure
Great, informative video.
Do you think anti-vibration gloves would be necessary when using the breaker?
They will certainly help, although the Hilti breaker does have an anti-vibration system built into it.
Thanks for the comment 👍

Ultimate Handyman what if it was only mortar?
Not sure, as I have never tried it.
Ultimate Handyman okay pal thanks for getting back to me!
Is this like the only way to do it??? there's no quicker way ?
If you can get a machine there, you can do it much faster with a machine and a pecker attachment.
So I need to I need to remove from existing concreate patio but leave the rest. As I have an old wooden learn to sitting on it. This means I need a clean edge/cut. I also don't want to disturb the foundation for the lean to. I have a Silverline breaker already I'm worried if I use that it will disturb the lean to concrete foundation any tips?
Cant you cut the concrete first using a suitable saw, perhaps something like this-

Hilti is my favorite. That Bosch is nice tho, also another favorite
Yeah, Hilti breakers are superb!

Hi, can you do a video on how to wire a dpdt switch to an ac garage shutter roller. Thx
It's not something that I intend doing, but if I get the chance I'll do it.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost to dispose of all that concrete rubble?
Very expensive.
My neighbour got a 8 ton skip, which cost about £240. We filled it this Saturday and there was still another half a skip load, but luckily a local farmer is taking it.
The hard part was getting it to the skip!
Thanks for the comment

The most important part of a job like this is the Tea!
Absolutely ;-)

Last time I did a job similar to that I got through two pick axe handles, and many more cups of tea :-)
Hilti breakers are the future ;-)

Primitive guy: oooh this is just a hacker who use technology to do his stuff.

Wow, what is the amp draw on something like this??
I think it's about 16 amps (110v)
In the UK we normally use 230v but most sites require you to use 110v power tools, so most hired equipment is 110v (hence the transformer).

I know them as Kecks.
Personally I would would of used a petrol breaker with a 4 inch chisel bit. Break larger parts off for a quicker job
Thanks for the comment 👍
Damn that's what I need. im using a regular hammer, not a sledgehammer. I mean, it's working, But it's taking forever and very draining
The main advantage of concrete's poor tensile strength is being able to break it up if necessary.
Thanks for the comment 👍

I bought a Silverline breaker on Amazon for £130. Used it twice so already paid for itself v. hiring

Would have been the devil's own job with the original breaker!

Thanks for the comment, Wayne 👍
A decent chisel and hummer would've done the trick
We could not get a hummer through the gap between the house and the garage ;-)
Thanks for the comment
Way to much work🤣 I’d rent an excavator with a hydraulic breaker and then use a bucket to scoop it out.
Most people would, if they could get that equipment in there.
It was good exercise though
Thanks for the comment 👍
Use a real jack hammer and a little more pep in your step and you’d be done in 30 minutes
