Electric Demolition Hammers

Light hammers (5–10 kg, SDS Max) suit tile, plaster and chases, medium ones suit demolishing walls and floors, and heavy breakers (15–30 kg, HEX holder) suit concrete slabs, foundations and asphalt. See differences between professional and household power tools.

Impact energy (J) is the key figure: light hammers usually deliver 8–20 J and heavy breakers 30–60 J or more. Compare manufacturer data measured by the same method. Read what is impact energy (J).

Corded demolition hammers are usually rated at 1000–2200 W. High power matters for long, heavy demolition, but compare it with impact energy. See how to choose tool power (W).

SDS Max suits light and medium hammers, while a 30 mm (sometimes 28 mm) HEX holder suits heavy breakers. Chisels and points must match the holder. Read differences between SDS plus, SDS max, and HEX systems.

A point suits breaking concrete, a flat chisel suits chases and edges, and a wide spade chisel suits removing tile and plaster. See how to choose a rotary hammer chisel and how to install a drill bit or chisel correctly.

A heavy hammer is efficient when working downwards, while a light model is handier on walls. An anti-vibration handle and damped impact mechanism reduce strain on the hands. See what is vibration level and tool ergonomics, weight, and safety systems.

Impact rate (bpm) affects working speed, while soft start and impact-force control let you start accurately and work with brittle materials. Overload protection and a brush-wear indicator also matter.

Hold the hammer with both hands, check the structure for cables and pipes, and wear goggles, ear protection, gloves and safety boots. Read how to use a demolition hammer safely, how to choose safety glasses and how to choose hearing protection.
