FAQs

Impact energy in joules per blow is the key dimension. Light scaling, brick chasing, and tile removal: 5-15J. General demolition, light concrete breaking, and trenching: 30-60J. Heavy concrete breaking, paving slab removal, and road work: 80J upward. Match impact energy to the worst-case work the tool will see. Higher impact energy comes with higher tool weight and more operator fatigue — for sustained work, heavier-duty breakers with vibration-isolating handles are essential.

Pneumatic breakers are the most powerful and most reliable for heavy work — but require a compressor sized to the breaker's air consumption (typically 25-50 CFM for medium breakers, 80+ CFM for paving breakers). Mains-electric breakers are self-contained, work anywhere with mains power, and cover light-to-medium work — the workshop and small-site default. Battery breakers offer cordless freedom for site-work but with reduced impact energy and limited runtime — best suited to light-to-medium intermittent work.

Common breaker shank fittings: SDS-Plus (smaller rotary hammers, light demolition), SDS-Max (medium-to-heavy demolition), 18mm hex (medium pneumatic and electric breakers), 25mm and 28mm hex shanks (heavy paving breakers). The breaker spec sheet lists the shank type — match replacement chisels to that fitting. Adapter kits exist for some fittings but reduce energy transfer; a matching-fitting chisel is always better than an adapter.

Chisel and point life depends on the material being broken and the operator's technique. For concrete-breaking, expect 5-15 hours of use per chisel before re-grinding or replacement. For softer materials (brick, mortar, tile), chisels last considerably longer. Re-grinding a worn chisel restores the cutting edge — check that the temper of the steel hasn't been damaged by overheating during use. Replacement chisels and points are available across the standard shank fittings.

Hammers Breakers & Consumables

Within Portable Power Tool, Hammers Breakers & Consumables covers the powered demolition, chiselling, and breaking tools used in construction, demolition, plant maintenance, and heavy fabrication — pneumatic and electric breakers, rotary hammers, demolition hammers, and the chisel, point, and spade-bit consumables used with them. Used wherever concrete, masonry, or heavy-fabrication structures need to be broken, chipped, or shaped. Within Hammers Breakers & Consumables you will find Hammers & Breakers (the powered tools themselves — pneumatic breakers, mains-electric breakers, battery-electric demolition hammers, and rotary hammer drills with breaking modes) and the matching consumable bits (cold chisels, points, spade chisels, scaling bits, and clay-spade bits). Parts For Machines supplies hammers, breakers, and consumables across trade and professional applications. Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of Chicago Pneumatic across pneumatic hammers and breakers — Chicago Pneumatic is the deepest line in our pneumatic-breaker range, covering tools from light scaling hammers to heavy-duty paving breakers used in road and construction work. SIP, Draper, and Sealey extend the range with electric and battery breakers and the matching chisel-and-point consumables. Product pages list the power source (pneumatic working pressure and air consumption, mains voltage and wattage, or battery-platform fitment), the rated impact energy (joules per blow — typical pneumatic breakers 30-50J for light work, 80-160J for heavy paving), blows per minute, weight (a key driver of operator fatigue), and the chisel/bit fitting (standard fittings include hex-shank, SDS-Plus, SDS-Max, and the larger paving-breaker hex shanks). Match the breaker to the work — light scaling and chiselling needs 5-15J impact, general demolition 30-60J, heavy paving and concrete-breaking 80J upward. The chisel fitting must match the breaker; replacement chisels are available across the standard fittings. Trade pricing on multi-tool orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
