VEVOR Demolition Jack Hammer, MAX 2200W Electric Jackhammer Heavy Duty, 1350 BPM Concrete Breaker 4pcs Chisels Bit Chipping W/Case, Gloves

What it is and who it’s for

The VEVOR jackhammer is a corded, 110V demolition hammer with a 2200W motor and a rated 1350 BPM impact rate. It’s built around a heavy metal housing, ships with four heat-treated bits (point, flat, scraping, and a clay spade), and includes a 360° rotating auxiliary handle plus a D-shaped rear handle with rubber damping. It’s priced like a weekend rental but positioned for homeowners, landscapers, and light-trade users who need to break concrete, trench through compacted/rocky soil, or chip out masonry without stepping up to a massive pneumatic or gas machine.

Performance and power

I put the jackhammer through a mix of tasks: breaking up a 4–6 in. sidewalk slab, opening a trench through hard, rocky soil, and chipping around a small pier footing to free a fence post. The motor delivers a surprising amount of impact energy for the price. In plain concrete with no rebar, the pointed bit starts fractures quickly; from there, alternating between the point and flat chisels lets you pop out manageable wedges without chewing up the whole surface. In my runs, it moved notably faster than smaller rotary hammers and didn’t bog when kept in steady contact with the work.

Soil and mixed debris are where the clay spade earns its keep. If you approach like a pry bar, you’ll fight it; if you let the hammer action do the work, it’ll loosen compacted ground and dislodge stones efficiently. It’s not as fast as a towable breaker or a big gas unit, but it’s capable. Expect to take more pauses on reinforced sections. It will chip around rebar, but progress slows, and you’ll need patience and sharper bits.

Impact consistency was generally good. On two occasions, I felt the blows get a little soft. Reseating the bit fully and ensuring the shank was clean restored normal behavior. This is typical of budget demolition hammers: they like clean, properly seated bits and steady pressure.

Ergonomics and vibration

At this weight class, there’s no getting around the heft, but here it works in your favor—downward demo benefits from gravity. The D-handle and rubber overmold damp out a chunk of high-frequency vibration, and the 360° front handle is genuinely useful, letting you set a comfortable grip whether you’re vertical, horizontal, or working in a corner. I could run the tool in 10–15 minute stretches without hot spots in my hands, which isn’t always true in this category.

That said, vibration is still vibration. You’ll feel it in your forearms by the end of a long session, and hearing protection is mandatory. I also recommend a back-friendly stance and letting the tool’s own weight do the crushing rather than muscling it; it breaks faster and tires you less.

Bits and accessories

The four included chisels cover most homeowner jobs:

• Pointed chisel: starting cracks, tight corners, and general breakup
• Flat chisel: popping slabs and trimming edges
• Scraping chisel: tile, thin-set, stucco, and surface cleanup
• Clay spade: trenching, loosening compacted soil, cutting small roots

They’re made from heat-treated alloy steel and held up well across my projects. If you’re going to live on rebar or granite fieldstone, you’ll want to budget for extra bits and plan on sharpening or replacing sooner. The included gloves are basic; treat them as backups. The blow-molded case keeps everything together but feels flimsy, and the latches are not confidence-inspiring. It’s fine for garage storage—less fine for riding around in a contractor’s truck.

Power supply and cords

VEVOR lists this at 2200W. In practical terms, that’s a high load on a 110V circuit. I had the best results on a dedicated 20A outlet with a 12-gauge extension cord under 50 feet. On a shared 15A circuit and thin cord, you risk nuisance trips and voltage drop, which can sap performance and heat the motor. If you’re planning all-day use, power management matters as much as bit selection.

Durability and maintenance

The metal gearbox housing, robust chuck collar, and overall fit are better than I expected at this price. After several hours of on/off use, the tool showed no new play in the bit retainer, no oil weep, and only the expected abrasions. The anti-vibration D-handle feels solid. The auxiliary front handle, while functional, is the weak link; under prying loads it can flex, and I managed to crack a previous unit by trying to lever the tool out of a bind. Lesson learned: use the hammer for impact, not as a pry bar. Replacement handles are inexpensive and easy to source if you do break one.

Maintenance is straightforward. There’s an oil port that makes topping off the gearbox simple, and access screws for basic service. Before first use, I checked and added oil per the manual, and I make a habit of inspecting seals and fasteners after each session. Keeping the bit shank lightly greased helps with insertion/removal and reduces wear on the retainer. The cooling vents move a lot of air; blow them out periodically to keep dust from packing in.

On heat: the jackhammer will get warm during long runs, especially in high ambient temperatures. I ran a 50/50 duty cycle on hotter days (work 10–15 minutes, rest 10) to keep temps reasonable. If you notice the housing getting too hot to comfortably touch, give it a break. It’s inexpensive insurance against premature wear.

Day-to-day usability

• Setup: Quick. Bits swap in seconds. The trigger has a lock-on button for continuous operation, which I used for vertical breaking.
• Control: The rotating front handle lets you keep wrists neutral in awkward positions. Balance is acceptable; vertical work is easiest, horizontal chipping is doable but tiring.
• Noise: Loud, as you’d expect. Lay down dust control and wear eye/ear/respiratory protection.
• Cleanup: The included case barely contains dust-coated tools; line it with a contractor bag if you care about keeping the interior tidy.

Where it shines and where it doesn’t

Shines:
- Breaking non-reinforced slabs, patios, and sidewalks up to about 6–8 inches if you’re patient
- Freeing fence posts and small footings
- Trenching and loosening compacted/rocky soil with the clay spade
- Removing tile, stucco, and thin overlays with the scraper
- Occasional demolition by DIYers and light-duty trade users

Less ideal:
- All-day commercial demo or heavy reinforced concrete; a larger, pro-grade breaker will move faster and vibrate less
- Situations that require light, overhead work—the weight makes sustained overhead use unrealistic
- Users without access to a stout power circuit; it’s hungry and needs a proper cord

Practical tips

• Use a heavy-gauge cord and a dedicated outlet to avoid trips and voltage sag.
• Let the tool’s weight do the work; don’t pry with it.
• Start with the pointed bit to create cracks, then switch to the flat chisel to break and lift sections.
• Keep the bit shank clean and lightly greased; reseat if impact feels inconsistent.
• Check oil before first use and periodically thereafter; follow the manual’s guidance on type and quantity.
• In hot weather or long sessions, plan a duty cycle to manage heat.

The bottom line

The VEVOR jackhammer delivers real demolition capability at a price that makes sense for homeowners and occasional pros. It hits hard enough to break slabs and footings, digs through stubborn ground with the clay spade, and ships with a useful set of bits. Ergonomics are decent, vibration control is present if not class-leading, and maintenance is easy thanks to the accessible oil port. The compromises are what you’d expect: it’s heavy, the case and auxiliary handle are not bombproof, and it’s not the right choice for sustained commercial breaking or dense, rebar-laced concrete.

Recommendation: I recommend this jackhammer for DIYers and light-duty users who want to own rather than rent and are comfortable working within its limits. With a proper power circuit, sensible duty cycle, and a few extra bits on standby, it offers excellent value and enough performance to tackle most residential demolition tasks without stepping up to pro-tier pricing.
