Demolition hammers consist of heavy-duty tools designed to chip or break up concrete. They use a hammering action that delivers a strong blow. However, demolition hammers cannot drill since the bit does not rotate. Some options offer variable speed control that allows you to control the speed of the tool. Additionally, many options offer vibration control that reduces hand-arm vibration. Bosch offers some options, like this SDS Max Inline demolition hammer, which include a carrying case.
Demolition hammers differ from both rotary hammers and combination hammers. Rotary hammer drills use rotation along with a hammering action to break up concrete as the drill bit rotates. Typically, rotary hammers also offer the ability to turn the hammer action off. Combination hammers consist of a dual-mode hammer that can either drill or break up concrete.
Breaker hammers see use in the demolition of concrete and other structures. You can often find them used in construction and drilling applications.
