10 best jackhammers

If you are not a professional builder, but there is a need for dismantling, this model is of interest. For a very affordable price, you can buy a jackhammer with a good impact power of 49 J. An electric tool consumes 2 kW / h, unpretentious and quite reliable.

Feedback from owners who have been using the chipper for more than one year confirms its reliability and high performance. With its help, a wide variety of tasks are solved, such as: demolition of old buildings and foundations; preparation for excavation of rocky soil; removal of the frozen layer of soil; crushing rocks, sandstone and many others. For convenience of use the additional handle is provided.In between use, there is a special case for storing the tool.

It is believed that an electric hammer, even if it is Bosch or Makita, by definition cannot be more powerful than a pneumatic one, but this example completely refutes this statement. Before us is a really powerful tool with an impact force of 65 joules. This is a lot, and even pneumatic jackhammers can not always boast of such indicators. The power consumption is only 1.7 kilowatts, which is the norm.

True, it should be understood that such a force could not but affect the size and weight of the instrument. The hammer weighs more than 25 kilograms, and it will be very difficult to work with it, especially given the strong vibration of the electric motor. But he will easily demolish even the thickest concrete partition. There are also disadvantages regarding the noise level, which is also quite natural, given the design of the tool. It works very loudly, as, indeed, any jackhammer, whether electric or pneumatic.

The design of the hammer and the presence of a side handle with a variable position make the Makita chipper convenient for vertical work. Large power for this class - 25.5 J., allows not only to make recesses and niches, but also to easily punch openings in reinforced concrete walls, quickly dismantle brick and cinder block masonry. It is within his power to remove the floor screed.

The weight of the tool is 9.2 kg.The advantages include the ability to rotate the nozzle, adjust the speed and a comfortable handle with vibration damping function. Reviews of builders characterize the tool as reliable and durable, subject to timely service (change of brushes, lubrication, cleaning of contaminants). Of the shortcomings, the only thing that is noted is the cost of the hammer. There is also an unreasonably biased attitude towards models made in China.

Despite the size comparable to a conventional rotary hammer, Bosch's electric hammer can perform a huge range of jobs. With an impact energy of just 8.3 joules, this jackhammer easily crushes reinforced concrete castings. Compactness makes its use convenient for internal repair work. Low noise level (86 dB.), Vibration damping system with a spring-loaded handle, adjustment of the number of strokes, allow us to consider the striker the best in its class.

Feedback from builders using the Bosch GSH 5 CE drummer in their work is generally positive. The convenience of chasing walls, removing plaster is noted - there is enough power for such work. Masters talk about the successful use of a professional hammer to remove an old screed in an apartment. The ergonomic handle makes it easy to work - the weight of the tool is felt much lower than the nominal (6.2 kg.).

The best electric hammer capable of breaking solid concrete structures.Advanced AVT technology has greatly reduced the vibration of the tool during operation, which has increased the comfort of operation. The Makita chipper is able to work for hours without reducing its performance. The impact power is 72.8 J. - a value not yet available to other models in this class.

Reviews of builders using a jackhammer in their work highly appreciate this model. The difference in performance is noticeable to the naked eye. On large volumes, this matters - when working with a Makita hammer, much less time is spent on dismantling. Of particular note is the smooth start and soft idle of the engine, which increase the service life and ensure the accuracy of the hammer from the first blow.

Modern manufacturers are constantly competing in originality. You only need to look at any Bosch or Makita tool to understand how much time is devoted to design and ergonomics.But often, the best way out is the classic, and in relation to pneumatic jackhammers, this works as well as possible. Well, it's hard to come up with something original and new here. We can say that the classic design is the best.

Before us is just such a classic hammer, in which there is nothing new. This is a Russian manufacturer that has been operating on the market for a long time. He produces the tool at the most affordable prices. For example, this hammer costs only 7 thousand rubles, which is very little for a tool of this class. What's the secret? Probably because the brand does not strive to create something new. Regular hammer. These were used 10, 20 and even 50 years ago. It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but to this day, such or similar hammers are most often found in production, in contrast to the original works of Bosch or Makita.

A jackhammer, electric or pneumatic, is not the most convenient tool in terms of working with it. Anyone who has used it at least once knows how tired their hands are even after a few minutes of work. And it doesn't matter if we are talking about a huge, industrial hammer, or a compact device of low power. Manufacturers are constantly trying to improve ergonomics, and, apparently, this brand succeeded best of all.

At first glance, this miniature hammer, it is difficult to say how easy it is to use, so let's turn to the reviews of people who have already bought it. And they are mostly positive. It turns out that this shape of the handle and the location of the button are quite convenient. The hammer can be used with one hand or two.By the way, the double grip did not appear here by chance. Despite the compact dimensions of the tool, its power is almost 10 joules, which means that it will be very difficult to hold it with one hand.

Remembering German quality, the first thing that comes to mind is Bosch. It is known all over the world, and few people think that in Germany there are many other brands that produce tools that are not inferior in quality to the famous brand. Before us is one of them. If you have never heard of this manufacturer, it is only because he does not conduct aggressive marketing, but he is praised in the reviews, and is often purchased for large enterprises and construction projects.

Here is the best air hammer in a compact form factor. Yes, he is not able to punch a hole in thick concrete. Impact force is only 4 joules. Of course, this is very small for a standard hammer, but for such a “kid”, it is more than enough. This is the most compact tool, which is a miniature copy. It works from compressed air and produces up to 3.6 thousand beats per minute. The body is completely metal, except for the plastic lining in the area of ​​the handle, made to facilitate the work with the tool.

Before us is the simplest jackhammer, standard configuration. There is nothing outstanding here, except for the force of impact. Here it is 45 joules according to the documents, although, as they say in the reviews, the real power is much greater, and easily reaches 60 and even 65 joules.For what purpose the manufacturer underestimated this indicator is not clear, since the price of the tool corresponds to higher characteristics.

It is difficult to talk about the advantages of a standard hammer, but here the shape of the handle has been slightly changed and the button that activates the tool has been shifted. As a result, it has become easier to use. It should be noted that this form factor is not an invention of this manufacturer. Makita and Bosch have been doing something similar on their instruments for a long time, although they are more expensive. Can this hammer be called the best? Probably not, since Russian manufacturers have similar tools, and they are much cheaper, and there will be no problems with spare parts, which cannot be said about a little-known Chinese brand.

The main problem with any jackhammers is the high level of vibration. It is very difficult to work with them for a long time, and people who constantly use this tool even develop occupational diseases and deformities. All manufacturers struggle with the problem of vibration. And the company Zubr succeeded in this in the best possible way. Before us is the most “calm”, so to speak, jackhammer.

It is equipped with several degrees of vibration damping. They are located in the area of ​​​​the sting, as well as the handle and at the junction with the compressor. Working with such a tool is as comfortable and convenient as possible, even for a long time. True, the manufacturer had to sacrifice a little the overall power of the tool. Here it is only 35 joules, which is quite small for a hammer weighing 17 kilograms.Also, this hammer is praised in reviews for its reliable design and long service life. All these factors allow us to apply the epithet “best” to it and place it in a place of honor in our rating.
