Yes, I have used one for about 5 years. They work good for removing all the paving depth. Did not have luck with taking an inch or two. If you can hook up water to it while your zipping, it will zip faster and stay cooler.

We had 3 of them 2-3 and 4 feet wide. Never used them to patch but to make full depth removal for trench width for pipe. Get a schematic of the wire location of connector to the box and the machine. You will need it when, not if they pull it apart.
For the beating they take they do hold up surprisingly good.
