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.

YOU CAN BUY IT BUT IT WON'T LAST LONG (MY EXPERIENCE). BEST TO GO TO HOME DEPOT AND RENT A MAKITA FOR $100 FOR 24 HOURS. My unit (as pictured) worked for 2 days then burned up. It worked okay for a couple of days, then the motor went.

It will get the job done and you will save somemoney. It's up to you.and ask yourself how bad do you want it.and you don't have to rent one

This is a cheap hammer, & leaks oil badly (I keep mine stored in a 5 Gal bucket), but it does a great job and will work fine for you. Use it 4 or 5 times, & you've beaten the rental price. I have especially liked the shovel attachment. Good for breaking up clay & rock before digging.

Yes this will work for you as long as you use a flat chisel bit to remove your tile. We use it all the time to break up well compacted ground when hand digging.

We only used it on our lanscaping rocks, and the cement sidewalk. It worked excellent on both. Took the rust right off. Never tried stucco, though.

I don't think it's powerful enough to actually polish rocks, but if you just need them cleaned, it would work fine.

I bought it to cut granite slabs and small rock cores, so yes it does quite well for rocks.

I would reccomend a hammerdrill instead. It is intended for drilling in concrete. They are usually function as a regular and hammer drill.One like this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0008ELQ0G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1376105960&sr;=8-1π=SL75

That depends on what kind of rock you are digging through. If it's shale, then yes, this will work. If it's solid rock, you will probably need a jack hammer.

The tenants that had rented a house that I own had used small rocks in the yard as a decorative garden. In time the rocks became part of the soil. I did not have any problems using the tiller. I did have better tilling when I pulled the tiller toward me for hard clay.

This will do the job (I've even smashed it through 2"-thick plaster- not recommended), but you'll get quite a workout. I'd go with a sawzall if you have the option.

will work but you have to put a 2x4 on wall to sit rock on then tilt it into wall. it will save you time, effort, and backpain. For the price of the tool it is well worth it.

It will certainly be able to grind down the material. The metal disk is especially aggressive and can quickly eat through concrete. The polishing pads aren't nearly as aggressive, there's quite a performance gap in-between the metal grinding cup and the coarsest pad (though that's not a problem for regular use, I'm just saying your options might be limited for what you're doing). As another person said however, this is a messy process. Even when you make good use of the leather velcro strap and a wet/dry vacuum to help contain the water, it gets everywhere.

It should do a good job. I find it easy to control and the bristles are stiff enough to get a lot of dirt out of the grout.

I've never tried but I believe that because the removal device is sharpened blades it wouldn't be a good idea to try that. Use a grinder with the appropriate concrete blade which are sold at any building supplies place or right here on amazon. Blade is normally used to level or brake down concrete so epoxy should be a breeze.

I have used it for sanding and for grout removal. It is an excellent tool for both of those uses. It is not a rotary tool though, it uses a reciprocating motion. If you are trying to make long cuts in concrete a right angle grinder with a diamond cutter would probably be a better choice.

Should work okay as long as you comb the sand and make sure there's no larger stones. Also works best if your using coving as well.

Never tried it for that but it might work. It sure did the job in removing oil from concrete. I think it would be worth a try.

This will only remove material that an ordinary rake would. It is much faster and zero effort. ie: dead brown grass at the soils surface not the tough layer of thatch. I love it though. It keeps thatch from getting to thick.
