I use a titan 15kg breaker from screwfix, I think there Macalister now, but same tool, it's about ten years old. It's not over kill and a sound investment. Plus i use digging bars and a double spade.
Thanks, Honey Badger that a great help! I look at the Mac Alister one seems very good!
Echo that - I use the same titan tool - one of my best investments!
The 15kg breaker for what they cost area sound investment, I used to use a SDS but once you have a breaker you will never use the SDS again, and they soon pay for themselves in time and effort saved.
Agree - we have one via Screwfix. Get a spare set of 'steels' or find somewhere that can resharpen and re-harden.
Low cost considering the ease of breaking out fence posts etc 👍
I take a angle grinder with me and sharpen when needed.
..but that can fundementally weaken/soften the steels.....
They need to be heated and quenched cooled to re-hardened or they go blunt V Quickly
Thanks Gary.
I had no idea about getting them red-hardened. What kind of business does that, like a forge?
Providing you don't heat them up, you don't lose the hardening..... they're not "case-hardened" where the hardening is just on the outside..... they're all the way through. The knack is to keep dipping the tip of the "bit" in water to stop it heating up.
Thanks, Dave No SDS for me now!
