Demolition Hammer

Mar 25, 2015

When you need something stronger than the run-of-the-mill knobbed hammer for banging nails into the wall around the house, the demolition hammer is the tool of choice. Built for rough-and-tumble demolition work, these hammers tear through concrete and chisel off shards of rock with ease. Any construction worker knows, however, that you’ve got to get one with enough pounds behind it to make the work go smoothly, but not so many pounds that the tool itself is difficult to wield.

Demolition Hammers at Copper State

That’s why Copper State Bolt & Nut Company carries some of the most highly regarded demolition hammers in the construction industry. Not only can you bring in your favorite brand for repair if it’s broken down mid-job, you can pick up any of several varieties they offer:

• Bosch SDS Max Demolition Hammer #11316EVS: This demolition hammer is a joy to work with because of the soft-start. The 22.5 pound weight is at the upper-end of ideal, providing plenty of power along with balance. The variable speed head absorbs shock very well.
• Hitachi Hex Demolition Hammer #H65SD2: With an extremely powerful 40 lbs of power, this hammer by Hitachi is often recognized as the best in its class. Despite the power, excellent mechanics minimize sound and vibration. It provides 31 feet per second of impact force.
• DeWalt SDS Demo Hammer #D25901K: An optimal 22-pounder highlighted by strength and precision. Precise placement of the impact energy for the job at hand.
• Bosch JACK Breaker Hammer #11335K: Intense with a 1750-watt motor and 34 pounds of impact force, this 38-pound behemoth of a demolition hammer is in a class by itself. Watch it work.
• Bosch Hex Brute Turbo Breaker #BH2770VCD: The biggest one of them all, with a weight of over 63 pounds and a whopping 47 pounds of impact force. Concrete and stone don’t stand a chance against this Copper State special.

What You Want in a Demolition Hammer

Although power is what you want, sometimes it has to come at the expense of weight. Heavy demolition hammers are difficult to store and can often be too effective, unexpectedly breaking into piping when you only meant to clear away stone and debris. A general rule of thumb is to stick to hammers in the 18-24 pound range. These provide agility and power in an excellent balance. Raw power is a must, but dexterity is just as important.
