    Default Electric breaker/chisel

    Just had to remove the hardest set of tiles ever. Came off in small pieces taking the 'granite like' plaster down to the brick at times.

    Needless to say I'm in the market for a good breaker/chisel thats light enough to push round bathroom walls but still pack a punch. Any recommendations gratefully accepted.

    have used a standard SDS, will remove most tiles, but on big jobs can over heat. if u go to a hire shop you can hire a beefier one

    Agree with Kilty, a bolster and hammer works for me on walls

    Quite partial to Ramset or Hilti, although I've got an el cheapo at the moment, it's been thrashed and still keeps going.

    I have the Milwauke aswell, I had it on special offer for £95, only thing was it was 110v, so had to buy a transformer. Still worked out a lot cheaper than similiar Bosch, Dewalt, Makita's etc 240v. First job I used it on, took a 12m2 floor up in about 1.5hrs, with all adhesive residue. I had told customer I could be all day and the floor may need levelling, She was well pleased when I was tiling by lunchtime. Had given day rate for tile removal.

    if it's a plasterboard wall I find my eswing hammer does the trick, can't knock tiles off without wrecking the boards, assuming they've been fixed right with powdered addy. On floors I use my bosch sds hammer drill with a sds chisel

    Bosch or Makita all the way.

    Floors take a bit more time though

    I've just bought an erbaur sds plus drill from screwfix for £69. Paid for itself in an hour. It pack 5.1js punch and is guaranteed for 2 years so even if I break it I get a new one. Not bad for £69!
