Here's this compact, quiet tool…and it hits harder than any other type of breaker. That's because hydraulics are more efficient than electric, pneumatic or petrol-driven tools. For example, a 70 lb hydraulic breaker gives you the same hitting power as a 90 lb pneumatic. Thanks to their amazing impact energy, hydraulic breakers can be used on concrete, asphalt and frozen ground. You can, of course, also use them for trenching, tie-tamping, spike driving and general demolition.
