Re: Another Rock Job
Boy Nac,
You look good down in that trench. I hope you don't have another episode like that last job.

Re: Another Rock Job
That auto greaser sure looks like it could get broken off real easy.

Re: Another Rock Job
Sure if you are not paying attention. It has been on the hammer for 3 years does not even have a scratch on it. I find the back, the sides and the bottom by the chisel of the hammer are what really gets beat up.

Re: Another Rock Job
Most people running equipment aren't owner/operators so you know what damage hired help can do and if all you are breaking up is flat work then you would have to be pretty dumb to damage it. I can imagine many situations where something can damage that greaser even if you are really careful. Just depends on the type of demo you do.
So how do you know when the grease canister is empty? |

Re: Another Rock Job
If you look at the top left of the unit where it looks like a nut on the greaser there is a red indicator that pops up when it out of grease.

Re: Another Rock Job
Nac,
Who did you buy your splitter and drill rig from. We may be looking into something for a new project.

Re: Another Rock Job
The spiltter I bought from United Rentals in Elmwood Park, NJ. The drill I bought from Can Am Rock Drill in Kinnelawn, NJ but I think he is affliated with Eastrock, Willington, CT, USA 06279 Tel: 860-429-4388. Let me know if I can help I will put you into contact with the owner of the company. You call me.
