Bosch’s Ultra-Light Breaker Hammer
By Audra Heaslip
Egon and the Ghostbusters II crew might have made it into the underworld before NYPD’s finest busted ‘em if they’d been outfitted with Bosch’s 35-pound breaker hammer. Heck, at that weight, Janine and Slimer could’ve gotten in on the destruction, too.
Bosch claims their Active Vibration Control (read: a moving, shock-absorbing handle) dampens the shock of standard breakers by “up to 40%,” which makes the hammer easier to control and limits the long-term effects of vibration on the operator. It’s electric-powered and jacks in to standard 15A outlets, and its heavy-hitting 1750W motor pumps out 34 ft-lbs of impact.
Street pricing starts around $1,100. One question, though: With half the weight of a usual jackhammer, can you still let gravity do all the pushing as most how-tos we’ve read advise?
