How to choose a jackhammer?
The choice of a power tool depends on the type of work you plan to perform. Usually, attention is paid to the following criteria:
- power type - electric or pneumatic;
- power - a model with a power of 1-2 kW is enough for household tasks, for professional tasks it is better to take more than 2 kW;
- impact force - determines how quickly the tool will cope with the material;
- weight - light models are more convenient for long-term work, heavy ones are suitable for complex tasks;
- vibration damping system - reduces the load on the hands.
It is also worth remembering about interchangeable attachments. They expand the functionality of the tool. For home use, it is better to choose light electric jackhammers with an average power of up to 2 kW. They can be used to dismantle tiles, plaster, and small partitions. For professional use, it is more correct to invest in a high-power pneumatic jackhammer with a vibration reduction system.
How to reduce vibration and noise when working with a jackhammer?
Prolonged exposure to vibration can cause muscle tension and fatigue. You may experience problems with blood circulation in your hands, pain in your joints and ligaments. To reduce vibration, use models with an anti-vibration system, which significantly reduce its negative impact. Anti-vibration gloves will also help.
