Breakers

Do all 1-3ton breakers require similar oil flow? I'm looking for a second hand one for my e10

No being the short answer. But a lot a people run only a couple of sizes of breaker so make do. It's not just oil flow there's also physical weight of the breaker. If you were to buy a breaker to make maximum use of your oil flow you might find its a bit big and heavy to swing about on the end of the arm.

Been looking on and off for a breaker for the my dx10 but never could spend the money.
Biggest issue is cost used ones seem to be around 900-1200ish whereas new ones start at £1900+vat.
My luck with used kit has been really hit and miss, with lost on the miss side.
Did recently buy the 30kg Makita breaker it's decent enough and just over 1k with the vat new, did buy an old Bosch but it's brought nothing but misery

Unless you have v little use for a breaker i wouldn't buy used. If it's been stored badly you'll end up at probably more than new cost by the time it's fixed. Yes they seem expensive for what they are but if you think about what they do and what goes on inside there is a reason for the cost.

Ive a tecna t60 for the e10 and dx10. Works well on them. Dr pecker is the man to ask about them

I bought a used HM100 for the old 1.5t about 12 years ago and its been perfect - use it maybe once a month and no issues, supposed to store them point down I think it was said on here a while ago

No hand held breaker will compare to a breaker on a micro at the end of the day they may be no bigger than a jack hammer but there's upwards of 750kg holding them.

Never said a small breaker would, the electric ones are around 70 joules whereas the small breakers for the micros are 110 joules +

Wasn't saying you were, more however dear a new breaker for a micro is they make a makita for example look v expensive.

I've got a pre anti vibe breaker and an old JCB power pack. It breaks concrete well but it's a right pig to move about and will probably guarantee white finger. I'm too fat and my backs to weak to use that thing now.

i agree rulless, i have the ant-vibe jcb breaker that runs of the beaver pack. You dont want to hump that around all day for sure.

Allways hire a 1.8 tonner in with a pecker when needed as could not bear to shake the s**t out of my own machine.
