5.0 out of 5 stars Very good tool for the price, March 15, 2006
This review is from: Makita HM1500B 42-Pound Demolition Hammer (Tools & Home Improvement)
I am a builder and remodeler. My company frequently has to do concrete removal work. Usually for installing egress windows in basement walls or for moving underground plumbing. The first time we used this tool was to go through a basement wall we had scored with a concrete wet saw. The wall was 10 inches thick and the the blade can only go down to about 4 3/4 inches. This tool broke through the rest of the way in minutes. We were left with a large heavy slab 10 inches thick that had been in the hole. I was able to break the piece into 12 smaller pieces within about 5 minutes to make it easier to carry. Great tool so far

4.0 out of 5 stars This hammer breaks rock., January 18, 2005
By 
Sandy River (Norco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Makita HM1500B 42-Pound Demolition Hammer (Tools & Home Improvement)
I have about 5 cubic meters of various stages of decomposing granite to remove. The spade bit slices through the soft granite like butter. And the point bit eventually breaks hard rock into managable pieces. I started off with a pick & sledge and rate this tool as 200 times easier. Or, for every hour breaking with this hammer, you would need 200 with the pick.

The HM1500B accepts standard bits which can be bought at Home Depot. It is a little heavy with the bit in place, but it does the job.

This review is from: Makita HM1500B 42-Pound Demolition Hammer (Tools & Home Improvement)
I like the light weight of this tool for a jack hammer. I have used it for digging ditches with a 5 1/2 inch clay spade, and breaking up small amounts of concrete. It has worked well for everything that I have used it for.
