getting a new kitchen in and am lifting the floor tiles tomorrow... using my bro in laws jackhammer and whatever else he uses (he is a tiler but has work on)
is it going to be a barsteward to do or is it easy enough?
any advice
 
You never can tell,but you must where goggles and gloves.Last thing you want is a shard a tile in your eye.
If your useing some sort of jack hammer you shouldn`t really have a problem.
 
Depending on what surface it is it should be no problem concrete would be
the easiest but if there laid on vinyl then you might start getting
a few problems
 
you'll find out tomoorow mate
i'm a tiler
sometimes they come up easy, you'll be done in an hour
sometimes they don't and you'll be doing a lot of swearing and finish the day with lots of cuts on your hands

smash 1st 1 out then hope rest come out nice and easy just by putting your chisel under it and a couple of taps with your hammer, if not you'll be glad you got that jackhammer
 
please please please wear goggles, i did this job when i was a labourer, piece of old slate, tiny little piece went straight into my eye, had to go to hospital and was in real pain, other than that a bolster and hammer, piece of piss, no need for anything electrical
 
so i have the hammerdrill.the little bolster on it is rotating..should it not be going in and out? If so how do i change it

Are you having us on mate, you dont need anything electrical, hammer the chisel into the 1st one and smash it up, from then on its just a tap on the chisel under each one til your finished.

I think if you know so little its surprising you have taken it on, get a mate to do it for you because you sound f**kin useless.
