When implementing repair and construction work, it often becomes necessary to destroy old partitions and walls, make niches and openings, make holes of various kinds, lay strobes, punch or destroy foundations, remove pieces of asph alt pavement, and much more. It is for such cases that a jackhammer can come in handy. Worth considering this device.
The jackhammer consists of a set of basic elements. The basis of the tool is a plastic case made of the most durable material. And in this case, it is irrelevant to use metal, since the device will be too heavy. A pick is used as a working element of a jackhammer. It should be chosen in accordance with the work to be performed - it can be a crowbar, spade, rammer or chisel. The equipment of modern models includes a set of nozzles that differ in shape, while theyensure the fulfillment of the main tasks.
Today, an electric jackhammer is quite popular, capable of providing a fairly serious blow to the force with a low 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 a power source. The Makita jackhammer has proven itself well in this regard.
Electrical tool in almost all respects 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 get a more powerful blow. The working peak is hammered into solid material to a depth of no more than two meters. In this way, a hole can be obtained, the diameter of which can exceed five meters.
The jackhammer has such important distinguishing features as reliability and simplicity. A blow to the executive organs produces a special battle located inside the body, driven by a drive. The material being machined is destroyed due to the fast reciprocating repetitive movements of the working part of the hammer.
Jackhammer, the price of which can reach 50 thousand rubles andmore, may belong to one of three categories depending on its weight. The lightest weigh no more than 6 kilograms, they are great for finishing and repair work. Average weights 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 ground work.
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 tool characteristics will be most preferred.
