Xtreme Power Jack Hammer Unboxing and In-Action Review

In this video, I will unbox and use the Xtreme Power jack hammer, giving you my review of it. I will also cover a couple important technical aspects of this jack hammer. At the end of the video, there are some good tips about its use.

[@five-forty3431]

Thank you for making this video, just bought one and your instructions are WAY better than the manufacturer instructions

[@kenkau6839]

I just bought one of these units and your video was better than the instruction manual. You provided good advice and at the same time got to the point without taking forever.

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

I am glad you found it informative.

[@robconaway5910]

Incredibly helpful video! Read the instructions multiple times and never saw anything about the proper oil weight, nor could I determine exactly how to secure the bit once it was inserted. Your video clarified both those key items right off the bat, as well as explaining the location for the replacement contacts should they ever be needed. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise.

Awesome. I am very glad it helped.

Thanks! Just bought one and this was a great intro video before I get it unboxed and ready! Especially helpful about the oil type!

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Robrambler]

Great video, thanks for sharing it. I bought mine about a year ago and finally had a chance to use it, the instructions were difficult to read and didn't mention what kind of oil to use, so I'm glad I found your video. I already chopped up a 10x10 slab and a 8x8 slab with mine and only took a few hours each, I spent more time taking the old cement away than breaking it up, I have an old cement slab in my yard from an old barn that is kind of an eyesore, so that is my next project

[@------country-boy-------]

long story short: we put a cattle gate in today (or at least tried to) - 18 inches down we hit solid lime stone and could not drop posts to full depth - we need one of these !!! thanks for the great review.

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Hi @ Country Boy, Thanks for the positive feedback. I really like the jack hammer myself. It speeds up and facilitates the process of digging holes for me. What was a lengthy process of removing rocks from highly compacted and irregular soil is no longer difficult. It breaks through some fairly hard igneous-type rocks. Limestone being relatively soft, I think a jack hammer would be the way to go for sure. Good luck with your gate and happy ranching, Tom

[@danhkom9703]

Thank you for posting. This is my first time using Jackhammer and the manual doesnt show in detail except for their safety guide and not show in picture how to install the drill bit. Your video clarified my curiosity. Thank you for list of items needed at the end of your video.I live in AZ and the ground is very hard almost like clay like soil and this will be use for digging and breaking up soil for planting. Thank you

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Had a friend who lived in Tucson, Arizona, who had an acre of land. He planted Oleander bushes around the perimeter of his acre using a pick and shovel. He told me it was the most difficult thing he had ever done in his life. He told me that a few inches below his soil there was a thick layer of “caliche,” a rock-hard deposit of calcium carbonate, something like six or eight inches of a natural occurring hard concretion. I am sure if he had he used a jack hammer, he would have had a much easier time of it. If your soil is similar to his, I am sure you will be very glad you bought a jack hammer.

[@danhkom9703]

Do It Yourselfer Home and Garden Guy I live in new built home and my backyard soil is not an existing ground therefore it’s being plowed on top and water is used to settle the soil. It took two days for me to plant cause the soil is so compact...... it was physically tiring. I also got a gas post hole digger to compensate on labor..lol that didn’t work. By Using jackhammer will help to get started and will use the post hold Aueg will do the rest. I hope lol

Ill vouch for this jackhammer...used it for damn near everything from tearing out footings to digging through clay...probably wont hold up to daily commercial use but we've beat this thing the hell up and still runs great...few minor issues but i think theyre more of a routine maintenance/cleaning type of thing....well worth the price

[@RibbedGiraffe]

I’ve been using one of these for about 2 years. The vibration is horrible, but they work amazing. My property is on a flow of basalt, so anytime I need to dig over 10” I need to break out this hammer. My current project is a section of footings for a stem wall, I’ve been running this hammer for 3 days straight and it keeps on going. Ordered a second one for a backup or so I can get some help. I have one suggestion, keep a set of Allen wrenches handy, the Allen bolts tend to loosen up after a few hours of use. If I had to guess in 2 years mine probably has 80-100 hours of use on it, I still haven’t had to change the brushes.

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Your use of the jack hammer appears to be similar as mine: Digging Holes through difficult soil, a fact that the hammer has made so much easier, leaving me very satisfied with my purchase. Appreciate your tip about keeping an eye on the Allen bolts.

[@understructurerepair7132]

We build waterproof encapsulations in East Tennessee and the ground is hard we have to break concrete and dig trenches. This unit is great. 35 pounds is a bit heavy but once you’re using it, the weight is on the ground. I paid $170 to the door and two days of a rental covers that. No regrets

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Great! I am a do it yourselfer and do not use my tools commercially. It's nice to hear from someone who does and appreciates it efficiency. I been using mine now over a year and it performs like new.

[@understructurerepair7132]

This is the job that we just finished. There was a large concrete over pour at the footers, so we had to bring in the jackhammer. We've used it about 5 times. Upper East Tennessee has some solid clay too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rni4hHVropufqM0

[@chevelle20100]

I was skeptical to say the least, I used mine to go threw 5” floor, I scored the floor with concrete saw blade first, made the job go faster however, the jackhammer is a brute, use 10-40 or any straight weight oil, the heavier the better 50wt is ok. It heats up fast when your on it hard so, slam it for 15 minutes back off and take another run at! Well worth 129 bucks!

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Thanks. It's a good tool for do it yourselfers

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Hi, The owner's manual included with the jack hammer illustrates and discusses those two items. It does not, however, indicate the oil capacity of the jack hammer's reservoir. Regards

[@jamesclark5097]

Will Shell Rotella T4 15w-40 heavy oil work? Mine shipped without a drop of oil in it.

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

@@jamesclark5097 Yes. 40 weight engine oil will work. My assumption is that 15w will do you well in extremely cold climates, until it reaches high output, hence heat, where 40 weight is necessary. Therefore, it could be assumed that 15-40 would be just fine. According to OM 40 is what is required.

I found your KZbin channel because this thing comes with almost no instructions. The only mention it made of oil was to remove the oil gauge. No mention of how much to put in or even if to put in oil. And I had no idea what those brushes were for. They need a much better brochure. But you have a good video. Thank you.

[@HumbleBearcat]

Nice review! I have a lot of bamboo in my backyard that I wanted to get rid off. I was wondering if I can use the chisel with hammer action to tear up the dense bamboo roots after cutting off the bamboos or should I use the reciprocating saw?

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Hi Shawn, Reciprocating saws in the ground are not safe as they can jump dangerously. If you use a flat chisel from a jack hammer, you will not have the risk of the tool "jumping back" at you and causing serious injury as a reciprocating saw can do. By the way, I really like reciprocating saws for cutting woods, plastics, and metals above the ground. They are awesome for odd cuts and demolition above ground. If the soil is soft around your bamboo, you could buy a shovel bit to remove it, but a flat chisel bit will do the job fairly well. Thanks for the good question. I hope I helped, Tom

[@mbpcpa]

Very helpful video - thx! Just one thing to suggest, that's hearing protection. Y'oughta wear something for that - I have some noise-canceling earphones that work great.

[@tomahawky1]

You had responded earlier about drilling into rock for rebar - but would you feel it would work on breaking up slate (rock)? I chip away with a sledge hammer and a solid metal pointed rod with success - they usually break up when I find the right angle, but it's pretty hard work. How about your jack hammer with the included bits on shale that usually breaks into very sharp shards?

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

I know slate can be kind of flinty and shatter. As far as natural stone goes, I can say that I have only broken sedentary rock and very hard igneous rock with it in my yard and it has worked just fine. Slate, being a metamorphic rock, it can be quite hard. I would imagine if thick it probably pings and even bounces a hammer off its surface from time-to-time. My best response to a good question like yours is that if you can break it with a sledge hammer, then you can break it with a jack hammer. The best bit would be the "pointed chisel." I would start at the edge, about four inches in, and have at it. With slate's propensity for brittleness, I would think safety glasses and good work boots. Hope I helped and good luck with your project.

[@bjornyesterday8497]

Hi, thank you for the video. I am thinking of using this to remove thick ceramic tile from several rooms in my new house. Are you able to find bits for this machine at the big box stores? Is the connection a standard size/shape?

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Works with 1-1/8 inch hex shank bit. Yes, I believe it would be available at big box stores. I might try searching "Thinset Removal Bit 1-1/8 inch for use in Hex Jackhammers." Congrats on your new home! Good luck with your project.

[@_prettylittleblooms_]

Thanks for doing this video! We just bought this to assist in digging post holes because we’ve been running into quite a bit of rock. What type of extension cord are you using here? We need a 75ft cord, but I’m unclear on whether or not a 12ga/20amp cord will be ok.

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

It should work fine at 75ft. You should get the full power benefit. The most important aspect is that your outlet is at least 20 amps. Anyway, happy digging. I sure like this tool, as it has made my yard work so much easier when I want to move some earth that is surrounded by rocks. I guess that's called digging a whole in normal soil.

[@_prettylittleblooms_]

Do It Yourselfer Home and Garden Guy ok great! Thanks!

[@richardbrown2290]

I was wondering are you plugged into a regular 110V 15 amp wall socket. I see that these are 2200 watt devices and I am concerned that 1) a regular wall power socket will no be able to supply the current necessary for this hammer 2) if a 220V outlet is needed then special extension cord will have to be used. Can you comment on the power outlet you used. Thanks and great video.

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

It uses a standard three-prong outlet. I use a 12 gauge extension cord from a 20 amp outlet at 120 volts to run my jack hammer. Most of my outlets are fifteen amps, but I have three that are 20 amp, all running on 120. Thank you for watching!

[@CowboyFan-ke7rn]

Great video. I need to break up the concrete used to set a post which has broken off at ground level. I see one on Amazon for $125.95. It is 2200 watts with 1800 impacts per minute. The model number is 61108-XP. What is the model number of your demo hammer? Thanks.

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

I haven't had that issue. Make sure hammer's bit is removed?? I just want to say that this jack hammer has paid for itself in its first year of use. I believe it's on its fourth year of my ownership, and I have just used it to remodel over 140 feet of my yard to remove significant rocks to install a chain link fence as well as to dig significant holes to replace over 12 shrubs with decades old roots wrapped around rocks. It has served me well. Hope it gives you good results as it has for done for me.

[@Darkamerica91]

Great video. I just bought one of these to break up some rocks in my yard.

[@peggyalbers1749]

I wonder if you can help me. I'm trying to use my jack hammer again, have put the tool in, but I cannot get the knob to pull out enough turn over onto the metal to secure the tool. I've tried to hold the knob out with a large screw driver, but the knob just will not pull out enough. Any help would be appreciated!

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Hello, I know a spring holds the mechanism tight so that the lever does not accidently turn to release the bit while in use. Anyway, on the bottom of the lever, the opposite side of the two small handles to pull the mechanism, there is a small hole on the cylindric shaped spring retainer (where the lever's spring is). Try putting oil in that small hole. WD-40 or any household oil would do the job. I am guessing it might be fouled with dust or some kind of sandy debris. Also lightly oil around the lever.

[@tbachini]

Good video on instructions, I live in northern Idaho in the mountains building a horseshoe pit, I have a lot of rock in the ground, I think buying this jack hammer would be more economical like you said than to rent, in case I need it again, you made this video: 3 years ago, price on Amazon is about $167.95 still I think a good price for a occasionally use. My horseshoe area is about 150ft away from a electrical outlet, my question is what kind of extension cord do you recommend and 2nd question should I use one of those serge protectors to plug in my house outlet for the extension cord? Sorry for long comment. Thanks for any help. God Bless.

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

To operate at its highest capacity, it wants around 18 amps. As far as cordage to reach a spot, you will need some very heavy-duty gaged wire. The extension cords may cost more than the jack hammer and will probably drop in current at that distance. The jack hammer should still work commensurately with the lesser current. If you have a circuit breaker not sure you'll need a surge bar. I hope that if someone who reads this can comment who has had a similar situation and can give you a direct response from their experience. Finally, less than five days ago, I dug (jack hammered) three holes that were fairly large in diameter and easily removed over 2,000 pounds of rocks, with the largest being around 100 pounds. As my property is situated on an ancient riverbed, the sand and historic silt has created a fairly strong matrix that is not unlike a weak mortar. From my experience, this tool has really paid for itself, almost exponentially. And God Bless you, too

[@Lugenfabrik]

Does this plug in to a regular household 15 amp receptacle, or do you need like a 30 amp receptacle?

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

It's a standard three-prong plug. It runs at just over 18 amps.

[@atlred]

Can you use that for hammering stakes in the ground, or wood post ??

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Hi Courtney, Though I’ve not used it to drive stakes, I know that bits are sold to do such jobs. Our house is on an ancient riverbed. Rocks are my issue. In my rocky soil, I would be hard pressed to drive any wooden stake deeply into my soil as I know it would splinter on the rocky matrix I have. However, I am sure I could use it with success on driving metal rods or stakes. I emphasize my soil make up as that is what I would evaluate before starting a job where earth needs to be parted. Anyway, my jack hammer comes with a 1 & 1/8 inch shank. They do sell bits for rod driving, which I am sure work quite well as this tool hammers hard and pounds its subject. Hope this helps, Tom

[@Voltomess]

Can I plug it to the wall outlet just like a normal electric tool? or I need something extra? because I see a warning on the website saying, "Requires 20 amp 120 volt circuit." and I'm not exactly sure what that means and I just don't know if my regular wall outlets at home have this kind of power"

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

It is a normal electric tool. Its wattage commands a little over 18 amps. It is a normal three prong plug, meaning two for power and one for ground, very common. But the unit does not fully appreciate a common 15 amp outlet, which means it will draw on it and cause excess heat from the power it wants. It is tool that I really appreciate in my yard for the work that I do. If you do not know what kind of electricity your home is pulling from the street or power grid, carefully check your electrical box. Read the circuit breakers for amperage. The one that says 20 is the go to. To get the fullest and safest performance, 20 amps is its requirement. (It is a common three prong, grounded outlet. I hope I have helped. By the way, thank you for a great question.)

what is the smallest generaator you could use?

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

I have not used it on a generator. But I know it operates at approximately 18 amps. It will work on 15 amps but it will not be giving you its fullest power and will continuously pull at 15 amps. That is why I use it on my home's 20 amp circuits, as I want it fullest performance and most importantly DO NOT want to OVERHEAT my 15 amp circuit's wiring. So if I were buying a generator, I would be looking for something that produced 20 amps or above.

[@tonymadera3603]

I want to get a rotary hammer to drill holes in ground for 4 x 4 fence posts where soil has packed rock. Looks like the one you have would do the job. Over 40 pounds of blow force? And the price at less than $200 dollars is amazing but how long would it last? I was looking at the Bosch rotary hammer rh540 m that has 6.1 pounds of blow force at $400 or the Milwaukee 2 inch rotary hammer with 19.1 pounds of blow force for over $800. Would you recommend your Demolition Hammer for the price?

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

Hi Tony, The jack hammer I use works extremely well in compacted soil. The rock aggregate that I have to break through is igneous-type rock, which means its very hard and related to granite. The best way to describe it is that when struck with a sledge hammer it bounces off with a ping. This jack hammer goes through it. My hammer came with two chisel types: 1. Pointed 2. Flat. The pointed chisel does a fine job eliminating larger rocks, which are substantially hard. (Softer rocks being sandstone, limestone, etc. which I do not have here on my property). The flat chisel does a great job cutting through substantial aggregate of hard rocks. (I say hard rocks because I think that the rocks I have on my property may be the hardest rocks produced by Mother Nature). This hammer has worked without issue for me for over six months. Given I have not used it on extraneous jobs that have taxed it for maximum output. I must say that it has made my life much easier, as I had many different techniques for digging holes. This has improved my hole digging. (By the way, I have used it for removing a three-foot piece of concrete and it worked great.) Hope this has helped, Tom

[@tonymadera3603]

Thank you so much. Wow. This will help me a lot. I am going to order one next week.

[@oskar-vz2vh]

What size extension cord did you use and gage size was it

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

can a ordinary genset handle that drill in off grid operation?

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

If you're producing twenty amps with a standard three-prong outlet, I would not see why the jack hammer would not operate properly. Of course, read your owner's manual carefully on your genset for any caveats.

How does it do against 6" concrete curbs? Tired of using the sledgehammer for it and my arms are giving up on me

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

I used a seven pound sledge hammer to break rocks with some success; used it for breaking concrete as well. The beauty of any jack hammer that works is that it delivers point-of-contact blows very quickly. That means it beats fast and hard to crack the brittle surface relatively quickly without the harsh shattering from the blow of a sledge hammer. This jack hammer weighs roughly 40 pounds and beats fast and faithfully. I like it. It has performed for me on rocks and concrete. I my opinion, a curb would be easy to break with this hammer. I have used it now for over two years and have zero personal complaints. The caveat with any demolition or excavation, know what lies beneath, be it electrical or piping. Work hard but also judiciously.

[@OriginalSirSpeaksAlot]

@@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732 Luckily for us, we always have the plans with us to tell us what is under the concrete and thankfully it is either mostly nothing or a lot of shit that is many feet under. I'll be buying this then. All I really need is to just break enough to weaken the rebars grip on it so I can just whack it off, but if I can take the curb immediately then I'd be pleased

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

@@OriginalSirSpeaksAlot Yes. Sounds good. The flat bit it comes with works nicely for pounding rebar (the pointed bit is really good for more precise and centered breaks.) I used the flat bit to break out a six inch footing that had a single course of 1/2 inch rebar. It deformed it well to break loose the concrete which made the job more manageable or easier. Let me know what your think of it. I know I like the tool, along with the many others that help my life easier.

I want to buy one. is it quality any advice pls

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

I have owned it now for two years. I have had no problems with it at all. I use it to dig holes first and foremost. Less than I week ago though, I used it to knock down a cinderblock wall. It worked great for removing the 4 inch by 12 inch footing of that wall. At that point, it became very clear to me that my purchase of the jack hammer was a very good one. Another thing I would like to add is that I do not use it commercially or on a daily basis. But from my experience with it, I give it thumbs up.

is it still running ok? (Don't know how much you use it)

[@doityourselferhomeandgarde9732]

It is running like new. I use it on average about once a month. My greatest use for it is to dig holes for planting or landscaping. Last week I used it to plant two wisteria vines. It broke through a granite-type rock, which is very hard, that weighed over 100 pounds. It expedited and facilitated the job in time and effort by at least 70%. I used it a couple of months ago to remove a concrete footing. The chisel or "pointed" bit did an excellent job in breaking the footing out while leaving the surrounding concrete unbroken. I have many different power tools and am very satisfied at having the jack hammer in my tool shed for when I need it.

They ask me my "secret". I say "I learn the product before I work for the firm, of it isn't the very best, I don't apply there.

I tell them the truth. They aren't stupid so they can tell that I'm not lying and my closing ratio is 70%. But my business? It's 100%. I've never had a NO unless I was saying it. Sometimes the home is in a flood zone and they smoky should at have built a house there. We are 100% referrals. We do not answer to folks that found us on the Internet, This jackhammer has paid for itself five times over and I've barely used it, of that makes sense.

[@tonymadera3603]

I had ordered the Xtreme jack hammer from Amazon. It was being shipped to me. But then I received a message that my order was damaged and returned back to amazon and I would received a refund. I called amazon why couldn't they just replace it with another jack hammer. The told me they can't because it is from a third party. So they are to refund my money. I guess then I will have to save for the 2 inch Milwaukee D Handle rotary hammer for later to buy that is higher in price.

Thank you CowboyFan7315. I did get my refund and will try to order it again. This jackhammer has 55 pounds of power vs the most expensive jackhammer by Milwaukee 2 inch rotary hammer that has 19 pounds of power which is more expensive.

I use it as a demolition hammer to break up rocks and occasionally concrete. As far as drilling into rock, meaning to create a hole for slipping in rebar or some other construction device, I would suggest a rotary hammer. There are many on the market. If it is hard rock, be sure to splurge on a quality bit.
