A jackhammer is a powerful tool that combines a hammer with a chisel. It is often powered by compressed air (making it a pneumatic tool), but can also be powered by electricity or hydraulics. Jackhammers, also known as hammer drills, air hammers, or pneumatic hammers, are commonly used in construction and demolition work to break up rock, concrete, or asphalt.
Pneumatic Jackhammer: Powered by compressed air, it's the most common type used in construction for heavy-duty tasks.
Electric Jackhammer: Typically used for lighter work and in situations where an air compressor is not available.
Hydraulic Jackhammer: Used for the heaviest tasks, such as breaking up very hard surfaces.
Breaking concrete
Demolition work
Roadwork and pavement removal
Mining and quarrying
These tools are essential for any project that requires breaking or chiseling hard materials.
