Typical class figures — exact tool confirmed on your quote. Points and chisels come with the tool; specialty steels on request. Running air tools? You'll want a 185 cfm air compressor — it drives two breakers at once.
Match the breaker to the concrete, not your enthusiasm: light chippers for tiles and render, 16–20 kg for paths and standard slabs, 27 kg+ for thick slabs and footings. Too small bounces; too big wrecks you on vertical work.
Electric for most jobs — plug in and go. Air breakers earn their keep on all-day demolition where they run cooler and harder, but they need a compressor; we quote the pair together.
Standard points and flat chisels come with the hire. Specialty steels — asphalt cutters, clay spades, bolsters — are available on request when you book.
Silica rules apply on worksites — plan for wet suppression or on-tool extraction, and ask about dust control gear when you book rather than improvising on the day.
A standard 10 A outlet runs most of them; big breakers want a 15 A circuit. On generators, remember the startup surge — a small genset that ‘should’ cover it often won't. We can size a generator alongside.
If you're measuring the job in square metres rather than minutes, stop swinging hand tools — a machine-mounted rock breaker on a mini excavator does in an hour what a hand breaker does in a day.
Tell us what you need and where — we’ll source it from our supplier network and send a sharp quote, usually same day.
No account, no friction — send the basics and we’ll source it.
