DEWALT D25951K 29 lb SDS Max Inline Demolition Hammer

This thing shreds concrete!

Broke up a small slab in under fifteen minutes. Much easier on the back than my old rotary hammer. Vibration is low for a 29 lb tool.

After forty years of commercial concrete work, I've owned every major brand. This DEWALT inline hammer is the most comfortable to handle for long periods. The chipping power is consistent, and it doesn't rip your arms off like some other machines. I used it to remove tile and mortar in a bathroom, and I was amazed at how little debris was left. The inline design keeps your weight centered, so you're not fighting the tool. Only complaint is the price, but you get what you pay for in this business.

I'm a general contractor and this hammer gets the job done. It took down a concrete footer without any issues. The vibration is manageable, but it's heavy for overhead work. I'd recommend renting if you only need it once, but for daily use it's worth buying. The carry case is sturdy too.

Great power. Heavy, but worth it.

I've used a lot of hammers over the years, and this one is a keeper. It handles rebar and concrete without slowing down. Clean power, no jams.

Dude, this demo hammer is insane. I used it to take out a concrete patio in my backyard and it was done in a day. The inline handle means you don't get thrown around like with a regular jackhammer. It also comes with a nice grease gun and I like the carrying case. Battery? I mean it's corded electric, so you just plug it in and go. My neighbor asked to borrow it and I said no way, haha.

It has no problem breaking concrete, but it's really heavy to lift. I got the job done but my back aches. Also, the dust gets everywhere, but that's expected.

I'm a retired contractor, and I bought this for occasional projects. It works exactly as the spec says. The anti-vibration is legit; I used it for an hour and my hands didn't go numb. It made quick work of a brick wall. If you're on the fence, just get it.

I compared this to a Bosch and went with the DEWALT. Cut through a concrete slab with no issues. The only reason I give 4 stars is that the side handle feels a bit flimsy, but it works.
