Performance and usage

With a no-load speed of 1,900 RPM and a 2,200 watt-motor power, you won’t be lacking in power. It isn’t as large as other jackhammers, but as far as power goes, the Goplus performs admirably.

It’s easy to figure out how the Goplus jackhammer works, but you need to exert some force to use this at full power. It’s worth the effort though, as the Goplus can break granite and other rocks without a lot of difficulty.

As we indicated in the features set, the Goplus jackhammer is capable of breaking various materials and surfaces. Some materials require more force than others, but the best approach is to just let the machine do the work; just hold the jackhammer and it’ll do the rest.

The instructions for the jackhammer don’t say much, but that’s not really an issue since the Goplus is easy to operate. The fact that it doesn’t say much is probably a good thing so you can use the tool right away.

Like other jackhammers, you should fill the Goplus with new oil and let it run for a few minutes. It just needs a couple of minutes to warm up, and then it’ll be ready for use. If you’re going to do heavy work you might need an extension cord, but hooking one up should not be an issue.

This jackhammer is solidly constructed so it can take a lot of punishment. The body is metal and it can easily take down concrete posts. The jackhammer is also great for landscaping as it can cut and chip rocks to refine your yard or garden.

The Goplus is also effective for breaking up hard clay soil. With this jackhammer, you can remove large root balls, including those up to 7’ large. With its hammer, you can also break up large chunks of concrete.

With the Goplus you’ll also be able to dig ditches and do various types of home improvements and renovation. For beginners and advanced users, the jackhammer works.

Should you buy it?

This isn’t the first Goplus jackhammer, and if you have used other Goplus jackhammers before, you’re going to notice that it’s been upgraded from the previous versions. If you have never used a jackhammer before or are not happy with your current model, this is worth buying.

If you want a jackhammer for home use, the Goplus is going to fit your needs. It is not as powerful or as fast as larger jackhammers, but for home improvements and other masonry work, this tool is going to work.

One of the questions that often gets asked is whether it is better to rent or buy a jackhammer. If you’re going to use a jackhammer frequently, it is always better to buy one like the Goplus. The cost of buying is cheaper than renting again and again, and the build makes this a solid investment.

Verdict

The Goplus jackhammer doesn’t disappoint when it comes to performance. It is easier to use than other jackhammers, and has the power to handle most materials you’ll have to work on at home. The Goplus is not perfect, but as far as performance goes the Goplus is better compared to other jackhammers in its class.
