FASTEST WAY TO DIG A TRENCH | How to Dig A Trench With A Demo Hammer
In this video, Renos demonstrates the fastest way to dig a trench. He uses a demolition hammer and a shovel attachment to create the ultimate handheld digging tool. Renos is replacing an underground drain, and in order to install the new drain, he has to remove the entire length of old drain pipe.

Thank goodness I needed a trench to avoid sniper fire.

[@eabnamoliben1598]

Too late the sniper got you while digging.

am digging a trench to avoid guddum germans

[@Siosifa]

@@le_vap0rjoe292 Friendly fire?

I was searching for the best/quickest way to dig a 6" deep by 6" wide trench alongside my foundation for a liquid termite treatment...the demo hammer is a great idea. Didn't watch your entire video b/c I found what I was searching for, but what I did watch...nicely done! Thx!

[@mrbryan8752]

I just started my training to be a plumber and right now I’m doing all the demo work, making trenches and paying down pipe. This is SUPER helpful, I’ll tell my coworkers about this

[@Manhandle730]

Their response….”oh great new guy. Anyway is that trench dug for me yet?” Hopefully now that two years have passed you are the one telling a new guy to dig stuff up.

[@nicholasphillips5406]

I just began this training last month. How’s it going?

[@daxicab1217]

Oh to have such beautiful, boulder free soil... I'm dreading this tasks in my yard.

[@godamongstmen681]

You're a hero for posting this bro

[@WB-zr7pq]

I love that tool especially for hard clay its a life saver. Those trees find water and just take over the channel teh water is running along.

[@blixem03]

I had to dig a ~120' trench in compacted soil with a lot of rocks/small boulders ranging in size from an apricot to a cantaloupe. I was lucky if my shovel went more than an inch or two deep each time I would try to dig, and a pick didn't do much better. I gave this a shot and it went 10-12" deep with no problem, almost like going through butter. Thanks for sharing - this saved me a ton of time!

[@jamesdinnan4726]

great explanation of what you are doing here.

[@wbell539]

Thanks for several good ideas!

[@RexBanner_]

Just the vid i needed. Top man!

[@schralepin]

What a battle, thank you for this video. I'm for sure borrowing a reciprocating saw for my trench project for sure after seeing your root obstructions. I hope I need it far fewer times than in your video! Thanks again!

[@jerrymay3806]

Well done.you explain things well!

[@AmazinglyGayPhil]

Thanks brother.

[@aliciahill7482]

Great idea Thank you

[@garryfavor7614]

Great presentation. I’m gonna order the tools you used. Great tips.

[@memorylapsemedia9421]

me and the boys are digging one out as a beer spot, sure to be a fun time, thanks for some tips.

[@TashaHarrisTashaluvsyou]

Thank you

[@VideoNash]

thanks

[@romania_patriotedits1450]

I needed this fir my reenaction stuff

[@AhmedTheGoose]

Thank you they almost found me

[@louistorres]

I'm literally digging out a trench that has running water already! It's awful! Haha! Great video!!!

[@noconspiracytheoriesplease.745]

Thanks for sharing. This approach would work best with in dry soil. I am working with a very wet clay gumbo. It is dense, sticks to tools, and is generally miserable work with.

[@fuckdyoud2734]

wow you have some fancy equipment up north, here in florida were just using axes, spades, and flat shovels.

[@le_vap0rjoe292]

thanks you chad i needed this inorder to take cover from germans

[@upstate4288]

Wow, that old pipe literally fell apart like a dry piece of cake. Crazy how fragile it was. I wish I had that tool for a number of gutter drainage pipes I had to bury. Would have made my life way easier.

[@HankMeyer]

Man I recently replaced a sewer line that was made of that old style cement material. It was completely clogged and surrounded with roots. Luckily it was only two feet deep. It made me hate trees.

[@anthonylebens8072]

Good job bro! Wish I had more guys like you on our crew.

[@eribertososa5156]

Been thinking of doing this to dig a small footing

[@softplan11]

I'm just retired at 70 years old.....how's this on the back? 50 years in the bizness was enough to convince me I did too many dumb things in the early 70s that I didn't expect to come back and kick me around in my latter years. But it sure does look easier than a mattuck, pick and a trenching shovel trying to bust through Georgia dirt.

[@Cre9000]

So did you use pipe bursting equipment to split that old orangeburg?

[@lathas8201]

That's really great video. Can you please specify model and where we can rent it from

[@futbol1972]

Was going to use a trencher but I think this tool will will do to build a French drain system along side of my detach garage to deter water to street. My parents live in the garage and when it rains water gets into garage. They have a piece of concrete along half of the garage which has a negative slope..I don't know if I just should cut a trench trough concrete or just remove the concrete completely since it has slope towards garage

[@louislink5440]

I remember the first time i dug a hole Your getting there bud

[@larryseibold4287]

i don't think i caught why you used the three part solution (small demo hammer + reciprocating saw with carbide blade + hand spade) vs a rental trencher (dingo) with 4" or 6" blade? was this easier in some way or less costly? Also, leveling three times, first rough dirt and then lay down 1" of crushed rock will make the pipe run really easy to precisely level (1/8" per foot) with no low spots.

[@smallnuts2]

I'm in Phoenix. The dirt is hard and compact. I'm finding it hard to make my trench leveled.

[@BLACKJOKER83]

I know different video but do you recommend a Ridgid Shopvac 1600 or 1800

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

I have seen the one with the blower on top in the store, but I have never had the chance to use one. My gut tells me that unless you really plan to use the blower function to just get the traditional style vacuum. Good luck.

[@rydertyler1]

I got a question. Is there any cordless alternative to the demo hammer? I'm working as a construction site and our company makes trenches large enough to hammer stakes into and put up silk fencing. I was thinking this Demo Hammer could save us time, energy, and pain since we just have to use a pry bar most of the time to break up the soil. But I need a Cordless one that'll help us out. Any recommendations would be GREAT

[@twilightsamuri]

Yeah, a mattock.

[@zapwatt]

Asphalt pipe?

[@LADOGBEHAVIORIST]

Man I wish I would’ve watched this video before I started digging my gas line. It took me an hour just to go a few feet.

[@rexmundi8154]

I’d just use a mattock , spud bar, and trenching shovel but whatever works for you. I’d be much faster.

[@anthonydew4855]

D.L. Hughley?

[@mattheweburns]

Rich is that you?

[@InstantSleep]

I am being a hater but only because I never used this tool before and I’m slightly envy 😂 I do groundwork’s it’s just me and my boss we mainly work in people’s gardens which where I live the biggest a passage way usually is it’s 800mm- 1m. So sometimes can get a micro digger round but never a dumper at first I hated shovel work and wheel barrow work I got worked like a dog but not treated like a ****. Like I say 2 years in and my god I love a shovel and wheel barrow anyone that I go to work with on a weekend or to get an extra day without being big headed I put them to shame after getting worked so hard for not even that long but a couple years and I’m here I love my career I love the hard work I’m 24 my steps are hitting 30-40k a day my fitness is incredible 15 stone to 11 stone all I use is David Goggins mentality Andrew Tates in physical aspect I love people who prove hard work pays off and I fell in love with it

[@dallasdandy6276]

Can I rent the hammer at my local store?

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

Yes, you can.

[@davebenz8271]

If that was the fastest way, I’d hate to see the slowest way!

[@KyrenaH]

Pruning shears and a shovel.

[@jerrymay3806]

Break up clay dirt with just a spade and see ho w fast the job goes!?

[@Bryan-109]

I was going to use this too, but I thought it would be too slow. I've been searching for a long shovel with a motor and am not finding much. I have to go 3 feet down by 20 feet to avoid the frost line. Then a dry well at the end. It's going to be miserable. They make motorized shovels, but are basically used for planting. The 3 foot trenchers at the Depot are 1100 pounds. If anyone has a better Idea, let me know.

[@robertluciwcatalano6531]

That's not too deep at least. Sometimes we gotta dig 10-20 foot trenches. Plumbing and sewer work for you. Luckily the excavator comes in handy lol. Those sharpshooters also work great for getting the dirt walls down. Do you guys not care for the squaring the trench to give you some room to work with the pipes ?

[@MogekovHashasky]

The beach wont have a chance

[@tigere.3462]

POV: Ur watching this vid for WW3

[@new_world_order_]

That's not for at least 3 years 😂

[@timhull8664]

You may well do better with a mini digger, cos I know for a fact its faster than what you were doing.
