The title says it all. The local water company is out digging a ditch to lay down pipes and they are doing it with shovels and a jackhammer!
Can they not afford a Ditch Witch trencher? There is an dealer in Manila.
I have seen them digging all over so I can guarantee they would get their money's worth out of this little machine. I was on a job site once where this thing was being used and it was great. Made everything easy. But these guys are using a jackhammer!!
It's dumb. What's worse is the guy operating the jackhammer is wearing slippers! Not steel boots or even tennis shoes but flip-flops!!! No safety on this job site.
Now I am aware that there are people who dig holes and ditches using jackhammers. You can do a search and find advice on forums and even videos. But I stand by what I have written. The local water company is not a group of amateurs and should not be using a jackhammer instead of a proper trencher. And their workers should most certainly not be wearing flip-flops while operating a jackhammer!

Wait until that jackhammer skips or bounces off a surprise rock and jackhammers the front of that guy's foot off. Pretty tough to keep wearing sandals after you lose the toes that keep said sandals on...
