Looking to purchase a concrete breaker to remove old render, recommendations?

[Jml]

We have a lot of blown, part blown render on the outside of our bungalow.  In order to remove it was looking to purchase a concrete breaker.  Does anyone have any recommendations?

 

Aldi has this one for sale at the moment,  from various posts I know that Aldi tools seem ok, would it be something that peeps would recommend, both for value and quality?

That is a heavy breaker to be holding up to remove render. Its a good bit of kit for occasionally breaking up a path or drive etc.

I would go for a much smaller hammer drill where you can select just hammer.

As mark said, that’s a breaker for concrete paths and things, you can do a lot of damage to the underneath structure with a breaker, I would start with a hammer and bolster first. 

If it’s blown it should fall off.

I have knocked blown render off with a sds drill and chisel attachment, easy where the render is blown, hard when it's firmly attached, though you probably don't need to take that stuff off.

Heavy SDS with a rotary lock and fitted with a scutch comb will fetch it off.

Your better of hiring one 

If it burns out Which they often do 

They will Simply replace it

Depends if you will use it afterwards!!! Hiring is good as you can thrash it and not worry.

If your not going to have a use for it after the job then hiring is the way to go, otherwise get one that is a dedicated breaker as the ones that are a drill / breaker are NOT designed for continuous braking...... the warranty people will tell you they are primarily a drill with the capacity to do limited breaking.... And they won’t cover the repair. (This is from my own experience but may not be universal) when it’s a dedicated breaker you can use it like a mad man and then simply hand it back when it breaks and get it fixed under warranty, but this can be frustrating if your only half way through the job....  I would get an sds max breaker for that as they are much lighter all round And Capable for that job and more. 
 

I used to buy matabo Sds max breakers in Australia as they had a big 3 year warranty And if I needed 4  I would by 6 and just assume that two would be at the repair shop at all times.....
