5 best jackhammers

Jackhammer - a narrowly targeted tool designed for carrying out preparatory work in construction or repair. A large assortment on the market allows you to choose a bump with optimal qualities that are appropriate to the nature and type of work. For shtrobleniya channels in the wall, when laying the wiring or hidden placement of water and heating systems, suitable chimney medium power. For dismantle of a tile, plaster, etc. A small hammer with limited power will do. But for the destruction of asphalt and concrete pavements, scrapping of old foundations, brick or other masonry, you need a powerful professional tool.

Also consider the type of bump stop. When carrying out repairs, the electric tool is considered the best. It is comfortable and quiet, of course, if there is a working electrical network, but when working in rooms with a high level of fire hazard or when there is a lot of dust, it cannot be used. For construction sites, in view of the scale of the work performed, a pneumatically operated bump stop will be more practical. It has high fire-prevention characteristics, is economical, and its power plant has a significant operational resource. There is also a tool in which the impact force is generated by a gasoline push-pull engine. Under certain conditions, this type of tool may be the only possible option, however, an increased level of noise, exhaust gas toxicity and high vibration do not leave such an aggregate in our rating.

When choosing a jackhammer for work, you must consider the following characteristics:

• Maximum impact energy (j.);
• Beats per minute;
• Power, kWt.);
• The type of power consumption of the tool (pneumatic or electric);
• Brand (quality).

The force of the blow of the hammer is of fundamental importance, since it depends on this, what tasks the baffle can handle. In electric tools, power has an equivalent value - the higher the indicator, the wider and more complex the tasks can be set. Low power can be compensated only by the frequency of beats per minute - the higher it is, the more destructive the force of the striker. Correctly calculated parameters of these quantities can be seen in the best models of jackhammers. Having average indicators of impact strength and power, these tools have high productivity.

Unconditional leaders in the professional tool market are Bosch and Makita. The tool of these brands is distinguished by high quality workmanship, has a margin of safety and a large operational resource (much more than analogues). The cornerstone when choosing a bump stop for these brands is its cost - in the category of similar products, the price for them will be higher. The rating review below contains the best, in our opinion, models.
