Going First Really Does Matter...

Howdy, when you've been starting up money making activities and creating things since you were a kid, you've had a ton of first customers, and they all matter. It all starts with that first rascal. Here we go again. Now, it's the Residential Concrete Breaker. Let's see where it all goes! It's all very exciting for us.

The process to get to this place has been a joy, and I put all that I had and more into designing and engineering what is a simple machine for the end user. It had to be simple or I would not have gone beyond the idea. Ask me about the "Mulch Blower Trailer" if we ever meet. Great idea. Complexity exceeded usefulness.

The machine's operation is very simple: it's compact at only 32 inches wide and designed to fit through a backyard fence gate; it's electric-powered, so you plug it into a standard electrical outlet; it has a sturdy 60-inch hollow-pipe base frame connected to a 54-inch-high hollow-pipe tower; it rolls on six 10-inch orange poly wheels, two rear braked. Steps: (1) the 350 lb. steel striker is raised about 40 inches from the ground; (2) the free-drop latch system releases; (3) the striker falls onto the concrete and breaks it; and (4) the drop-and-catch latch system lowers and recaptures the striker and rises back up; (5) the machine is rolled backwards and away from the cracked concrete. Then you repeat until you're finished.

Want to dig deeper? Read the Residential Concrete Breaker Owner's Manual.

It's patent-pending mainly due to the wheeled mini cart frame design, the free-drop latch system, the 32x18x3-inch steel striker plate with free-drop plate system, the single-chain run instead of complicated multiple chain rollers, the chain-slack enclosure box, and other unique end-user-centric features. It's a miniature version of a giant rock hammer, just not designed to be one. It's a "breaker."

So, to my first customer, I say this: we will take care of you. Your machine will work marvelously. It'll be featured in all of our initial videos, pictures, and related materials; if we can feature you in one or more, we will. And you will always be the first on our CBUSA owners list. We will love and include you in our festivities and related activities forever!

Going first also means something to everyone who comes afterward. Every future owner will have a reference that you didn't: the first machine. They'll have your machine, your experience, and the photos and videos from your build to look back on. That's part of why the first owner will always have a special place with us. Everyone else gets to follow. You were willing to go first.

The creator always loves the first the most. Here's our new YouTube overview video, have a look.

Howdy, my name is Juston and I'm the nephew of the company CEO / GM of ConcreteBreakerUSA.com. And I couldn't be more excited about the launching of the store. Pease have a read, I'm an industry veteran and this machine changes the game for industry end users. We have another option to choose from. I'm also a store Ambassador, so reach out if you want answers from an experienced place.

I’ve done concrete work for years, and I’ve spent plenty of that time behind a jackhammer. Anybody who’s run one knows what it actually is — that thing is just hammering, over and over, nonstop, and your whole job is holding it steady while it beats the hell out of the slab underneath you. It’s not finesse, it’s just enduring it. That vibration doesn’t stay in the tool, it runs straight up through your hands and arms the whole time you’re on it, and over months and years that’s the kind of thing that leads to real nerve and circulation problems in guys who do this for a living — numbness, tingling, the whole deal. Add in the noise, the dust in your face, the weight of the thing itself, and by the end of a slab you’re wrecked. On anything bigger than a small patch you need guys trading off, because nobody’s holding that thing steady for hours straight.

And then there’s the spots where you don’t even have the option of bringing in something bigger. A skid steer with a breaker attachment will chew through a slab way faster, but it doesn’t fit through a gate or into a tight side yard. So you’re stuck doing it the hard way whether you like it or not.

That’s the part that’s actually changed for me with this machine. It’s a wheeled electric breaker — no engine, no compressor, just plugs into a regular outlet — and it works by lifting a 350 lb striker up on a chain and dropping it straight down on the concrete. You roll it into position, lift, release, let it fall. That’s it.

First thing I noticed is how easy it is to just push around. Six casters, and even though the thing’s got some weight to it, it rolls where you point it — none of that fighting a bulky tool while you’re also trying to hold your footing on broken concrete. You’re just steering it into position instead of wrestling with it.

The other thing is what it takes off my body. There’s no vibration running up my arms all day, because I’m not gripping anything that’s hammering — the machine’s doing the impact, not my hands. No fighting to keep it steady while it beats against the slab. And I still wear ear protection because it’s a jobsite and that’s just good practice, but I’m not needing it anywhere near as long as I would jackhammering — you’re not standing over continuous hammering for the whole job, just the drop and the reposition.

I can now wake up the next morning after breaking up a slab and actually feel my arms. Not feeling like I got run over is honestly the biggest difference.

I never expected something like this to exist, honestly. After using it, I don’t see myself going back to a jackhammer for this kind of work.
