Harbor Fright Hercules | Jackhammer Review | Unboxing

Hey you guys, so in this video, I am unboxing and using the Hercules Jack Hammer. It is a Pretty straightforward video I needed to demolish a large concrete block and it took me quite some time. However, this tool will break through a normal 4" slab with no problem. The only issue I have with it is that it is a very heavy tool and after a couple hours non stop you get tired and need breaks. I do love the fact that it has some sort of vibration control spring system in the handles and the vibration doesn't hurt your hand.
Feel free to ask me any questions. I think it's worth it.

What you came here for is at 8:30 you’re welcome …

[@ericneidig2792]

you'd be better off getting a hammer for your excavator

[@wrongplacerighttime]

We just used it on a jobsite and it kept sliding off to the sides that we ended using a jackhammer anyways. It was a horrible 3 days of breaking through only 8 feet of rock

[@oafdawg314]

I see you finally learned to work the edges instead of trying to split it in the middle.

[@mattdg1981]

Wider chesels. Work from the edges in. Even with a chunk that large you could have busted that thing down in less than an hour.

[@subixbarbarasson6052]

Dude. If I was you, I would fabricate a clam shell that attaches to your EX. Then lock the trigger and let the EX hold it. Cheaper than a hydro breaker and still as effective as doing it by hand. I'm going to buy one and do the same on my subcompact backhoe.

Bro thats funny!! Your defintly onto something!!! I would love to see that im sure it would work

[@garysarghview7277]

Bought the same one. Can't wait to get my money out of it.

He's using the wrong bit

[@robertstonebreaker8394]

I am not gonna be paying this guy for working on one piece all day long and they were even speeding up the film he’s got along ways to go .

Nothing like an air compressor running a jack hammer

[@gweedomurray9923]

I have used air powered hammers and an electric one or two. The 120 volt ones are nearly worthless.

[@felixyazzie1481]

Drill some hole and put some gurt inside

[@Thecorrectcontractor]

The handles on mine fell off and there is no way to fix it very cheaply made I will now have to buy a brand new one just because of the handles 😂

[@tonycarver5428]

Where are those safety glasses 👓

[@davidpressel9298]

I was thinking the same thing. Get them at Harbor Freight dirt cheap, even free sometimes.

[@lonniethomason7227]

I'm trying to check out air compressors

[@J0Boa]

You mean that’s the Bosch copy jackhammer

[@freddaniali]

I bought this thing and returned it. I bought the Makita AVT and in puts this unit to shame!!!

[@freddaniali]

@@walkfaster It's fine on the arms and shoulders. I used it just today to remove some old bushes. The AVT technology makes it super smooth, unlike that Hercules mess. If you buy the one from Home Depot, yes, it comes with a dolly and 3 bits.

[@freddaniali]

@@walkfaster Anytime! I hope I convinced you to buy the Makita. You won't regret it. If you don't use the tool very often you could also rent it from Home Depot. I just don't want you to waste money on the Harbor Freight junk.

How to you put it in the case

[@xindeng-cx8zh]

[@dmitriytsurkan8758]

I believe I paid like 600$

@@dmitriytsurkan8758 thank you

[@rickyperkins232]

​@@dmitriytsurkan8758 now that you had this for a while would you still recommend it?

[@dmitriytsurkan8758]

@@rickyperkins232 yea, it works, the old system may glitch once in a while. Like the buttons may not always work but it usually does
