Demolition breaker
 

I've been offered a demolition breaker for 50 notes - are they useful
for anything other than demolition? I assume not, but thougth I'd
ask :) Its about 10kg.

It's conceivable that in the right circumstances it would do a better
job than an angle grinder.

You can dig with it. If it's only 50, a reasonable make, reasonable
life left in it and uses some source of power that you can supply,
then I'd go for it. I used one recently to trench concrete for SWA out
to a shed.

Mine is a Bosch (£1500 list today!) that I got in an auction for a
tenner. Great deal, except that it's 400Hz (ex RAF Regiment,
bizarrely) and it cost me £60 for a ex-mil generator to drive it
(Anchor, couldn't give them away). Paid for itself on the first job
though.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Tabby saying
something like:

Heap big tool, buy.

Even if you never use it, it's worthwhile getting it just to have it.

Unfortunately its a McAllister, unlike the other stuff, mostly dewalt.
I'm kinda torn between passing on it, I dont do much demolition, but
there is one demo job to do at some point, and it seems a fair option
cost wise.

FWIW it comes with the bits.

Its 240v, so no problems there. Sounds like you got a deal.

I know they use 400Hz on planes, but cant imagine needing a demo
breaker on a plane.
