My Wife Stole My Milwaukee Jackhammer!
What happens here
Begin by positioning the cordless Milwaukee jackhammer on the concrete slab. Ensure appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn, including a safety helmet with face shield, hearing protection, and work gloves. Activate the jackhammer and apply downward pressure, allowing the chisel bit to repeatedly strike the concrete. Start by targeting existing cracks or edges to facilitate initial breakage. The tool will vibrate significantly, and dust and small concrete fragments will begin to fly as the slab starts to fracture.
Goal: Begin breaking the concrete slab using the jackhammer.
