Electric breaker any good for posts holes?

Thanks everyone :001_smile:

 

Never did update this thread, got the above erbauer 15kg breaker.

 

When I looked it up, the dewalt with anti vibe handles was £700+, which is a bit much for the amount of use it would currently get with me.

 

The erbauer is ok, defiantly a help on post holes. The downside is the obvious one, the length of the chisel, and that you can't buy longer.

Maybe at somepoint I'll see if I can weld 2 together

Absolute nightmare to get hold of one now..bee and que stores advertise it but say its not available...so what does that mean, why not take the add down.. thinking I might spend more so I know I can get spares if I need them. yes it's only 200 quid but if I have to buy it twice its pain

Had a few over the years had a panther power pack and breaker couldn’t keep control when going deep in post hole ! Now have got a 30mm shank makita with 900mm bits ! Tbh I’ve found the sds max with long bits easier to handle to split the concrete then a good ole bar on it !!

The 30mm shank is the older version of the 1317C I’m not sure of model as it’s on site had it at least 7/8 years and defo worth the money I’ve tried the generic breakers from Screwfix etc and I’m sure they have there place but  they just don’t have the clout needed. Not sure if the older big brand versions are better than today’s kit for sheer clout due to antivibe less Joules! Etc

Once you have used a pro breaker of any make you won’t go back to a cheap Lidl ,Aldi screwfix, b&q cheapy more comfortable to use, more choice in steels and cheaper in the long run plenty of backup and spares although not needed much.

if you need to dig holes I would get a second hand , Makita, dewalt or bosch they all have exceptional backup and repairs

Having bought a £50.00 Parkside out of Lidl, I agree, the softgrip rubber fell off the various surfaces very quickly, and the tool, 1 of a set also bought from Lidl, broke in the chuck when I was chiseling and left the chuck impossible to dismantle.

Left with zero faith in the Parkside brand, (well that and the cheap/nasty/doncy/shaky/unsatisfactory Parkside table saw I bought and returned once I had seen it out of the box).

OK for boring the odd hole, but that is the height of it.
