A jackhammer is a pneumatic device that uses highly pressurized air to shape, engrave or polish metal. It has variable bits and requires caution when in use. Different metals require different PSI levels. Considerations when purchasing include blows per minute, air consumption, and weight. It provides a safer and easier alternative to traditional forging. A […]
Drop hammers shape metal into heavy steel parts and thin pieces of metal. They evolved from steam-powered to hydraulically powered machines. Early machines were dangerous, but modern safety devices have made them safer. The basic drop hammer style involves a large steel frame with interchangeable dies that stamp metal into machine parts, gears, and even […]
Pile hammers are used to drive concrete and steel piles into the ground for construction projects. There are several types, including diesel, hydraulic, and vibrating post hammers. Mechanical drawings of pile hammers dating back 5,000 years have been found. A pile hammer is a device used to drive concrete and steel piles into the ground […]
A jackhammer is a portable drill powered by compressed air, fluid, or electricity used to break up concrete, rock, or other materials. It carries risks to the worker and should be used with care. Different types of jackhammers exist for various applications. A jackhammer is typically a portable drill powered by compressed air, although other […]
The jackhammer is a powerful tool that uses compressed air to operate a hammer mechanism, used for drilling, breaking or chipping tough materials. It revolutionized the construction and mining industries, becoming smaller and more reliable over time. The tool’s reciprocating arrangement driven by compressed air provides percussive force to strike the workpiece. A wide variety […]
The jackhammer is a powerful tool that uses compressed air to operate a cyclic hammer mechanism, used for drilling, breaking or chipping tough materials. It revolutionized the construction and mining industries with its one-man operation and high speeds. The tool’s potential uses have extended to include light industrial, home, and hobby applications. The jackhammer mechanism […]
