Tools for Digging Concrete

Demolition Hammers

• Demolition hammers are power tools designed to smash, cut and create grooves in concrete, asphalt and gravel roads. There are various sizes available with a range of power levels. Some demolition hammers are meant to be used while standing upright, and others are smaller and can be held and angled closer to the work surface.

Rotary Hammers

• Rotary hammers are hand held power tools used to crush, demolish, dig grooves, edge, trim and remove concrete. They are smaller and easier to maneuver than a demolition hammer, and are used for drilling anchor bolt holes, to cut grooves for pipe and wiring and for interior finishing.

Mauls and Mallets

• Mauls and mallets are hand-held tools useful for demolition of concrete. These are basically large hammers with long handles that have metal or solid rubber mauls at the end.

Pick Axe

• A pick axe is a common ground worker's tool that is useful for smashing up and removing smaller pieces of concrete. A pick axe is handy when leverage is required to uproot concrete or rocks.

Club Hammer

• A club hammer is a small tool that can be held with one hand. It has two blunt ends and is useful for breaking and chipping away smaller pieces of concrete.
