This Bosch plug-in-anywhere electric jackhammer does not need a compressor! Your concrete breaker rental comes with your preference of bits: points and/or chisels.
This Bosch BH2770VCD Brute Breaker demolition hammer rental has been a legend for more than 20 years. It is the plug-in-anywhere hammer that doesn't need a compressor. It offers total portability, operating on a 115-/120-volt, AC/DC, 20 amp outlet or 5,000-watt generator. Its grease-packed gearbox and hammer mechanism eliminate the uncertainty of job site lubrication, while the shock-mounted handles absorb vibration to reduce operator fatigue. It comes equipped with a rolling cart/hammer hauler. It gives 1,400 blows a minute. Also known as jack hammer or concrete breaker or power chisel or braker or concrete chipper.
When should I choose this 60 lb. electric jackhammer instead of an air-powered or smaller handheld breaker?
+
This electric jackhammer is ideal because it plugs directly into standard power (5000w Generator or larger) without needing a large, towable air compressor. This is commonly used for: breaking up concrete driveways or sidewalks up to 4 inches thick; removing asphalt patches; demolishing concrete basement floors; and digging up hard-packed clay or frozen ground. For concrete thicker than 4 inches, a heavy-duty air-powered jackhammer is recommended.
What is the maximum concrete thickness this electric jackhammer can break?
+
This stand-up breaker is rated for concrete and asphalt up to 4 inches thick. Attempting to break thicker, heavily reinforced concrete slabs will slow down your progress significantly and may overheat the tool. For thicker slabs, consider upgrading to a larger air-powered compressor and hammer setup.
What are the electrical power requirements, and can I use my own extension cord?
+
This tool requires a 115/120V, 20-amp outlet or a generator rated for at least 5,000 watts. You must limit the extension cord length to a maximum of 50 feet (a heavy-duty cord is included with your rental) to prevent voltage drops that can damage the motor. Do not daisy-chain multiple light-duty extension cords.
What bits are included with this rental, and how do I change them?
+
Your rental includes your choice of points and/or chisel bits to suit your project. To change bits, ensure the tool is unplugged, pull the retainer metal latch out, insert the notched shank of the bit, and lock the latch back into place.
How heavy is the jackhammer, and how do I transport it to my jobsite?
+
The unit weighs 64 lbs and is 30-3/4 inches long. It comes equipped with a rolling cart (hammer hauler) to make moving it around your jobsite easy. It fits easily into the trunk of most cars, SUVs, or pickup trucks, so no special trailer is required for transport.
What is the best technique for operating this stand-up jackhammer efficiently?
+
Let the weight of the 64 lb hammer do the work; do not lean your full body weight onto the handles, as the shock-absorbing handles are designed to reduce vibration fatigue. Always start breaking near an edge or crack, working in small bites of 2 to 3 inches at a time rather than trying to bury the bit in the center of a solid slab.
What safety gear is recommended when operating this concrete breaker?
+
You should always wear safety glasses or a face shield, heavy-duty work gloves, hearing protection, and steel-toed boots to protect against flying concrete chips and heavy debris. Dust masks or respirators are also highly recommended to prevent inhaling concrete silica dust.
