cool riverr Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I just started working an area with lots of exposed bedrock. In addition to my EQX 800, I carry a few lightweight tools to help open up cracks. So far, this combo has proven pretty effective. I haven't really tested the battery life with a long day of hard use. Happy hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredmason Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 That appears to be fairly solid bedrock, how does that impact hammer do taking it apart? What brand and what price? How long does the battery last per charge? fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brogansown Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I have a collection of 19th century crevicing tools and this impact tool beats them all! Hope you find a bunch of nuggets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it for rock samples with a 32mm drill bit and can easily do 20 holes before swapping batteries. The battery technology is amazing nowdays, I have nearly every tool dewalt make. I did 12 cuts of solid 2” bar and was still going strong with their 54v grinder ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to get a good session (4-6 hours) of intermittent use, not too sure yet? I'm just opening up cracks enough to clean them out, and it does a fine job on those. I bought a scaling chisel to help break down some of the conglomerate material, then swing the EQX over it. Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
