Product Information

Additional features to look out for include a secondary handle that’s easy to adjust, and a carry case to keep all of the components securely together. So, here’s some general advice on how to use an electric demolition breaker. Of course, you must always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and wear the appropriate safety equipment:

And then, when it comes to performance… the phrase ‘like a hot knife through butter’ comes to mind… Concrete breakers create a huge amount of vibration, and those with a more powerful motor can be uncomfortable to use. Look for a demolition hammer with a quality build construction. Most have either an aluminium or magnesium casing.It’s a case of knowing your strength, and deciding if you can manage the weight of this demolition hammer.

Capable of delivering 1500 blows per minute, with an impact force of 45 joules, this demolition hammer is suitable for most domestic demolition tasks. The power comes at no cost to comfort, as it also has a side handle that can be adjusted through 360° to offer the user ample control. Concrete breakers can be dangerous if they are not properly maintained. It’s worth spending a bit more money on a high-quality concrete breaker from the outset, rather than it costing you in repairs down the line. Not only is this a strong demolition hammer with plenty of power, but Laptronix have also considered safety when it comes to this concrete breaker. There are gloves, goggles and a mask included.

Depending on the voltage of the electric-powered demolition hammer, you may need to use a step-down transformer. This will be required if the voltage of the power tool is lower than the voltage of the power supply. Many professional power tools have a voltage of 110 V to make them safer. However, home voltage output may be closer to 240 V. A step-down transformer will allow only 110 V to be provided to the machine. The Importance of Quality If you plan on using the tool vertically, a lighter demolition hammer will be both safer and easier. Granted, you may find that this ~24 kg machine is slightly more difficult to control than lighter models, depending on your build, but when used vertically the weight seems to aid the impact energy and performance. Bear in mind that power will change the type of approach you need to take; you can’t expect them all to work in exactly the same way. More powerful demolition breakers will break concrete even if you start in the middle of a slab, whereas other models will require you to start at the edge.
