Electric breaker any good for posts holes?

[woodwoozles]

Yep i have some garden work for customers that needs doing plus my own fence since the builders were in that needs to go up. Im trying todo bits here and there but also trying to stick with the Govs advice for the moment.

I like the reviews of the Screwfix Erbauer one. But since hearing what you guys are telling me about spares and sharps/chisel availability i would be prepared to go upto £500 to purchase something better.
Still mulling it over.

The Erbauer one is pleasant to use, way better than the Titan. Anti vibe is much better- not Hilti good but it's a tenth of the price. Loads of chisels available if it's just concrete breaking you want it for. Way to heavy in my book to be trying to poke it down a fencepost hole.

That erbaur looks good. 

I have the titan one now, ridiculously cheap, works absolutely fine and given that it spends most of it's time stuffed down post holes, cheaper is better.

But I have thought about replacing it with a lower vibe, probably makita, but that erbaur looks like a good choice???

Surely a good sturdy post hole digger is the cheapest and most economic solution to all of these.

Love the photo kinda thing you might put up in the lav wall. Could have a double meaning though..fishing out large turd from u-bend [emoji4]

Yeah them pincers, tweezer fencing tool things dont brake the concrete for ya..they would very soon bend.

What the erbauer is to heavy down a hole. Its only 18" surely the 900mm chisel would work well?
I borrowed a bosch breaker yesterday worked fine not to heavy plenty of power todo what i wanted...bigger £1000 hilti or pneumatic maybe done it in half the time but then there maga bucks

You can’t get 900mm chisels for them as far as I know. I had to make mine, and it was still rubbish. Air jackhammer knocks the spots off any electric one down a hole.

What the Scheppach ones like earlier in this post and on ebay or something else

I got a 240v Kango off of ebay, advertised as non working. Cost £15 and a fiver to repair! Sweet!
