SDS max tamper?

Has anyone used one?
Are they any good?

Made a sds plus 1 a few times for vibrating shutter sides to small paths and other items such as step sides etc.
Be a handy item in confined areas. Might have to have a look myself

Threw one together last night. Apart from the fact it looks awful , mig ran out of gas so had to resort to old rods, and I'm rubbish at welding, but it works a treat.
Compacts type one nice and solid.
Made a clay spade as well so hopefully it holds together tomorrow.

Welds don't like vibration. You might be OK if you are only using it in soft stuff rather than chipping concrete.

But I've lost count of the number of times people have proudly showed off their post driving cup they've welded for a breaker, only to have it fall apart a day later!

Yes I tried building one with the welder it needed re welding several times untill it cooked the breaker.

We then bought one for the hydraulic breaker and it works a treat
