During the implementation of repair and construction works, quite often there is a need to destroy old partitions and walls, make niches and openings, make various kinds of holes, lay gates, punch or destroy foundations, remove pieces of asphalt pavement, and much more. It is for such cases that a jackhammer can come in handy . It is worth considering this device.
The breaker hammer consists of a set of basic elements. The plastic body made of the most durable material acts as the basis of the tool. And metal in this case is irrelevant to use, since the device will be too heavy. As the working element of the jackhammer serves as a peak. It should be chosen in accordance with the work that will be performed - it can be a crowbar, spatula, tamper or chisel. The equipment of modern models includes a set of nozzles that differ in shape, while they provide the main tasks.
The
electric hammer is quite popular today
, capable of providing a sufficiently serious blow to force with a small weight. This tool is quite simple in terms of design, it is similar to a perforator, but does not imply a mechanism for transmitting rotational movements to the hammer. The disadvantages of the electric model is that the tool is highly dependent on electricity, that is, working with it is possible only near the
power source. The Makita jackhammer has proven itself in this regard.
In almost all respects, an electric tool is significantly superior to conventional chippers. It is able to provide more efficient operation than gasoline and pneumatic counterparts. The use of a jackhammer requires little effort to stop, that is, pressing the device to receive a more powerful blow. In solid material, the working peak is clogged to a depth of not more than two meters. So it is possible to get a hole whose diameter can exceed five meters.
The breaker hammer has such important distinguishing features as reliability and simplicity. A blow to the executive bodies produces a special battle located inside the housing, driven by a drive. The material to be processed is destroyed due to the rapid reciprocating repetitive movements of the working part of the hammer.
A jackhammer, the price of which can reach 50 thousand rubles or more, can belong to one of three categories depending on its weight. The lightest weigh no more than 6 kilograms; they are great for decoration and repair work. The average weight have an indicator of 7-10 kilograms, they are actively exploited to carry out various actions in the horizontal plane. Heavy models can weigh 30 kilograms. They are actively used for foundation and soil works.
To choose the right jackhammer, you need to decide on the purpose for which it is purchased. The scope and operating conditions will show which characteristics of the tool will be most preferred.
