Demolition Hammers
Demolition hammers strip concrete, break out tile beds, and punch through brickwork where a drill would stall. The two main fitments are SDS-plus for lighter chiselling and SDS-max for heavy demo work. Wattage matters: 1300W handles floor prep and masonry removal; 1600W shifts kerbstones and thick slabs. Check the tool's impact energy in joules, not just motor rating—that's what moves the chisel.

SDS-max takes thicker shanks and delivers more force per blow, so it's the right choice if you're breaking reinforced concrete or demolishing structural elements. SDS-plus chisels are cheaper and more common, but they flex under sustained heavy loads. Match the chisel profile to the job: flat chisels for tile and render, pointed for cracking thick concrete, clay spades for routing channels.
Weight becomes a factor on long shifts. A 1600W breaker might weigh seven kilos or more; that's manageable on a floor slab, harder overhead. Check whether the hammer has vibration damping in the handle—long sessions without it leave your hands numb. Sealey's models include anti-vibration grips on most units above 1200W.
Trigger locks let you run continuous blows without holding the switch, useful when you're working on a vertical face and need both hands for control. Not all demolition hammers include one, so check the spec if you're doing wall work. Side handles should swivel or have multiple mounting points so you can adjust grip angle as the cut direction changes.
