While this is definitely made in China, don't let that fool you. It is heavy duty and will probably compete with the $500 & $600 electric jackhammers. How long it will live is unknown. Getting parts may be sketchy, since you really don't know who manufactures it. The metal toolbox that it comes in is built decently, but there is no padding, so I would recommend gluing some foam in the box to cushion everything. I used it to break up an old, old, hard concrete step that had been in the way for the last 12 years. In 15 minutes, it was broken into football sized chunks and the jack hammer wasn't even breathing hard.EToolsCity is great. The tool is supposed to ship with 2 extra brushes, but mine were missing. I contacted the seller and they mailed me 2 brushes, no questions asked. They also sell parts and other bits. I definitely recommend them.If you are going to need a jack hammer more than once, may as well buy this one and have it around.
