Big pedestrian breakers

[doobin]

I have a Terex hydraulic one somewhere that came with a powerpack I wanted for something else, but it needs looking at and is a faff. Also I'm not sure it's ever worked as well as it should. I hired a Hilti of some sort a while back on a job (day rate digger work, found concrete, customer paid for a breaker to get job done) and it was impressive.

How do the 30kg electric ones (I'd be looking at Makita as want 240v) compare to the hand held hydraulic ones? I've got a wall to break out, it's next to a conservatory so not keen on the digger mounted pecker but thinking I need more than the 15kg Screwfix breaker.

I've been using my hydraulic hand held jack hammer today. I hope i never use it again it was crap

The big electric hilti 1000's pack a fair punch but I wouldn't want to use anything much bigger than a 2kg 3000c Makita for taking walls down by hand as they get heavy quickly

We've got a electric Makita 1 aswell and thats good. I would recommend it and alot lighter than the hydraulic ones

I have the Scheppach 19kg breaker supposed to be 60 joules & a bit big & bulky to hold up for wall demolition.

The big 30kg breakers are decent but not quite on par with the hydraulic ones.
Makita are best bang for buck as their 30kg is around 1k whereas the hilti version is 3k.

Far too big and heavy to try and hold horizontal and break a wall.

Personally I'd hire a te1000 or just use a sds drill.....

Or drag it over with the bucket

Sorry, when I say wall I mean a 2ft garden wall in this instance.

Easily blast through from the top then, or the side

If you want a good compromise what about the wacker neuson petrol breakers
Good weight completely independent
No beaver pack or genie to trail around
No hydraulics lines or cables to faf with

My 20-30kg Makita one is either not far off or the same power as my hydraulic one. Hydraulic breakers are awkward heavy bastard things and my one now pisses oil all over my trousers.
My Makita 10kg is also a beast and way better than the draper thing.
I never liked the look of the petrol ones. Huffing and puffing breathing in the petrol fumes.

Windy pick.

2 foot tall and double course, plus footings

I have the sheppach, if that’s supposed to be 60 joules then I might just be surprised. Will try it Monday, have ripper and grab on e19 on site already so plenty of assistance available.

Can you not just stand some ply in front of the windows and use pecker on micro

The 19 kg Scheppach is meant to be 60 joules, I don't know what there 16kg is but imagine similar to the Titan.

Not sure I'd be thinking of a breaker. Should come out with just the digger. Maybe need breaker on footings.

breakers are hateful devices for a human to use. allways get one on a machine wherever possible.

Fiiine.... I'll spend today making the top hat for my breaker that's still in the packing crate....

Whilst I'm at it- can anyone think of any downsides to having the pin angles so that you can present the breaker at 90° to a wall? I've mocked it up and the gemoetry is such that in normal use you never dead end the crowd ram and can still hold carry it tucked in under the arm.

I'm guessing the reason you never see them like that is because they really need to be made to fit the machine. Having pins like this is really useful on a grab to hold things vertically, any reason why not to have similar on a breaker?

These arrowhead breakers seem to have two mounting points?
