Default Tile removal

So decided to redo the master bathroom floor. Anyone have a recommendation for a power destruction hammer to make the tile removal all a bit easier. My little hammer and crow bar just isn’t going to cut it.

If anyone local has one I could borrow for a couple of days would happily provide a case of your favorite beer. Have looked locally and not to many of the reasonably priced ones available.

Thanks in advance and hope all are doing well.

Check out SDS plus hammer drills, lots of attachments/bits available. HF sells a few, worth a look. I rented the big one for some foundation work but bought a smaller version, works for sub ~3" holes and lots of chipping.

If you have an air compressor just buy a cheap air chisel and bits for about $20 and it will work fine. I have a few air chisels and Bosch sds plus and both do the job well.

I looked through all of them all and will consider eventually buying one.

Kurt worked like a champ. Still difficult but that is the nature of the effort.

Great seeing you and Ryan the other day. The house and location are awesome.

I am going to do some research and buy one before I start the next bathroom.

Are you in Tyson’s anytime this week?

To be clear I did no work but I have been described as difficult. Punctuation maters.

I might be in Tyson’s late in the week. If you like you can box it up tight and drop it off at MB of Tyson’s front desk with only my name on it (it needs to be in a sealed box in order to remain at the desk)

I can do that but if you let me know when you will be there would rather hand it back to you. Thanks.
