Description
This demolition hammer operates by driving an internal piston that delivers powerful, rapid, percussive blows to the chisel or pointed bit. The tool features a robust, metal-gear housing for durability under heavy load. It is an AC-powered corded unit, providing continuous power without the need for battery charging, which is critical for extended demolition projects. The design includes a large D-handle main grip and an adjustable auxiliary handle to maximize control and minimize user fatigue during downward or horizontal chiseling. The tool shown is fitted with a pointed chisel bit.
