When you need a jackhammer
Plenty of Coburg and Brunswick renovations mean breaking out old concrete or tiles: a cracked back path, a laundry slab, or a bathroom floor down to the screed. An 18kg electric jackhammer does the heavy hitting but is still light enough for one person to handle.
- Breaking up paths, small slabs and driveways
- Lifting floor tiles and screed
- Knocking out old brick steps and footings
- Breaking rock and hard clay when digging
What’s included
A point for concrete and rock, a chisel for tiles and clean edges, and the carry case. It runs on 240V mains power, so there’s no fuel to mix. Pick it up from us, or we’ll drop it off with your skip or machine.
Keep the dust down
Breaking concrete, brick and tiles creates crystalline silica dust, which is dangerous to breathe. Wet the area with a garden hose as you go. We don’t supply safety gear, so bring your own: a properly fitted P2 respirator, safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves and steel-capped boots. Use a power point with an RCD (safety switch), and check for buried pipes and cables with Before You Dig Australia first.
