Breaker hammers and combi hammers for hire

Chisels in various shapes are included: pointed for breaking up, flat for removing render and tiles. If you'll be working above head height, let us know — then we'll find a weight you can actually manage to hold all day.

Which hammer suits the job?

If you need to drill holes for anchors and penetrations, the Hilti TE-7 will do. It is light enough to work with all day, including above head height.

The TE60 and TE70 combi hammers both drill and chisel. They are good for removing tiles, taking down a masonry partition wall, cutting channels for pipes and cables or chiselling out openings. The TE70-ATC weighs 8.3 kg and is the most powerful of them.

For breaking up floors, stairs and thicker concrete, take a dedicated breaker hammer. The 10.6 kg TE-800 AVR is still a hammer you can use on walls. The TE-2000 and TE-3000 are heavy floor breakers in the 20 and 30 kg class. They let their weight do the work and are used standing, with the chisel pointing down into the floor.

Battery or corded?

The TE60-22 runs on battery. It suits places where there is no power, or where you need to move around a lot and don't want to drag an extension lead behind you. The TE70-ATC and the others run on ordinary 230 V.

If you're working a full day in the same place, a corded hammer is simplest. Check that the circuit can handle the hammer, especially if other machines run on the same circuit.

Noise, dust and vibration

The hammers run at 98 to 102 dBA. Wear hearing protection at all times, even if you're only working for a few minutes.

Concrete dust is dangerous to breathe in. Use a dust mask, close off the room you are working in, and dampen down where possible. Take breaks. The vibrations go straight into your hands and arms, and it is better to let a heavier hammer do the work than to force a light one.

Before you start breaking

Find out where pipes and cables run before you break into walls and floors, and whether the wall is load-bearing. The rubble has to go somewhere: for larger demolition jobs it can pay to hire a mini excavator or dumper to remove what you have broken out.
