Traditional manual tasks such as breaking bricks and blocks or removing old mortar from joints ahead of re-pointing can now be considerably speeded up with the advent of SDS Plus and SDS Max hammer drills and breakers. This system has become the most widely adopted fitting on pneumatic impact hammer drills.
SDS Plus or SDS Max
SDS Plus is the fitting used on lighter machines mainly used for drilling, but capable of light chiselling or demolition. SDS Max is the system used on more powerful, larger hammer drills and breakers suitable for heavier demolition work.
Many Different Widths Available
To facilitate these tasks, we have the Astra Cutting Edge range of chisels and points offering different widths and profiles to fit these drills, all of which must be used only where the rotary stop function is present. Choose the correct width of chisel for the application, whether it is removing old tiles, chasing out channel or demolition work.
Specialist Gouging Chisels
The same labour and time saving benefits can also be brought to chasing and chiselling out ready for cables and pipes, these being made much quicker and easier with our gouge chisel. Other specialist chisels are available for a variety of specific tasks.
