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. NT |

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. |

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

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. NT |
