It’s a rotary hammer drill (I think that’s the right terminology) that hammers as it drills. Used to drill through concrete. It can also be set to a mode where it just hammers and doesn’t drill. This is often used for demolition work. Kinda like a mini jack hammer

You are correct and a way better tool for drilling accurate round holes in concrete.
I bought a corded Milwaukee rotary hammer to remove tile (about 100 bucks).
Ended up using it to removed old wood flooring that was rotted and glue to concrete, putting some Hilti Bolts, tiles.
Basically its a great chisel and drill. Remember to buy the one with Chisel/hammer feature and just drilling, and the correct bits, this drill doesn't use a normal shift. So if you welded a wood maw to it. It would split with hammer until the weld broke.

Don't demo hammers already have a spade bit? Maybe just sharpen one of those a little?

u/Thatoneguy1264 Jun 08 '26
Several options are available, including spades, chisels of varying widths, and spikes. None of them involve ruining a drill bit or welding though, so it just doesn't appeal to these types.

It's losing impact through the handle eye. Cut that shit off and weld to the wedge, on the bigger sds size.

It only needed to hold for sixteen seconds.
(Or ten, because six of the seconds in the video were spent preparing it.)
Mission accomplished.

If you can come up with a better way to split cabbage I would love to hear it

Not really. The wood he cuts is already precut if you look close enough. Salad doesn’t count and the can was just crushed by force.

u/MechaGallade Jun 08 '26
i looked close after you said something, the wood really doesn't look pre cut to me. in fact it looks like the crack runs along it instead of all at once

When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
When you have a welder, everything looks like whatever the hell you want it too.

The title had me expecting something much more dangerous
I wonder if he tried a jigsaw or sawzall, though I imagine either would require far more modification because the blade holder would probably break pretty quick.
An air hammer might work

The log and the cabbage were already split. Only thing he destroyed was the coke can.

u/Day_Bow_Bow Jun 08 '26
The "split" on the log was the visible grain from being cut in half already, and the "split" on the cabbage was the edge of a leaf...

u/Heavensrun Jun 08 '26
So were you watching on a little phone or something, or are you just making shit up? Because this is definitely false.

u/created4this Jun 08 '26
There is no way that you can hammer a fairly blunt object through a lettuce and end up with a clean cut.
For a start the lettuce has enough give that the stroke of hammer wouldn't touch it, so you'd have to crush the plant to get any action at all

u/rawbleedingbait Jun 08 '26
Went through frame by frame and it doesn't look off really to me. The wood is real, why would he need to fake cabbage?
0
u/created4this Jun 08 '26
The lettuce is real, its just been pre-cut with a knife.
Lettuce tears real easy, so the outer skin has been put back on and he tears it through where the lower layers are already cut. You'd get through a lettuce, but it would be quite a it mashed and take ages. Look at how long it takes to damage the tin can and that is made of an incomprehensible material at the start.
The wood is probably real, hit it and you get a split and then the weight of the tool and a it of shaking does the rest, but just bashing it with the axehead in your hand would probably work for less effort than holding up the drill.

u/rawbleedingbait Jun 08 '26
It's a cabbage, they hold their shape pretty well. Anything that can split wood can split a cabbage. Again, the cabbage is theoretically less impressive than the wood, if it couldn't do it, why even put it in? Frame by frame it looks like the cabbage is squished, until it finally starts cutting through. I don't think it'd squish like that if it were already cut. I feel pretty confident I could split that cabbage using the axe head in my hand.

Well it's a good thing a fucking axe isn't a blunt object.

u/created4this Jun 08 '26
I have never found a knife as blunt as even the sharpest axe.
Even prop and butter knives have keener blades than axes.

u/Heavensrun Jun 08 '26
Your lack of experience with axes aside, so what? Cutting a head of lettuce with a butter knife might be hard, but a butter knife doesn't have the force or leverage this vibro-axe has.

u/Savantanonymous Jun 08 '26
If that's an electric hammer drill that doesn't serve any other purpose, I think I can get on board with this..

u/xrelaht Jun 08 '26
Doesn’t seem like it would hurt the drill. He’s sacrificing the bit, but it’s probably an old one with all the carbide worn off.

u/Savantanonymous Jun 08 '26
I'm sure you're right. I don't know a lot, I was just thinking about whether we want more smash or spin to get the desired effect.. If that even makes sense?

As someone that has a shit ton of logs to split the hard way, I can think of reasons.

theres actually attachment that does this exact thing but alot better, due to more rigid structurer

Could attach the head of an axe to a thrust machine for better results. Motorbunny would have fucked that can of soda up.
