I have an electric jackhammer, it is encased in metal of some sort, and for the life of me I cannot find a maker model number or anything on it. I have had this thing for years until I let some jerk borrow it and he brought it back broken. Theirs a piece inside that drives the hammer that is broke and I am tryiong to find a replacement or anything.

I forgot to mention that the only writing I found on it was on a bearing and it said norma made in the USA

Its hard to tell without a manufacture. Do you have a picture of something

This may be just a basic guide for identifying: Yellow: Bosch; Red: Milwaukee; Green: Hitachi; Blue: Makita. Start with that. Also Harbor Freight has one under their Chicago Electric brand and it is kind of orange/yellow. There are other imports out there so let me know what color and we’ll go from there.
