A jackhammer, also known as a breaker, is a powerful upright demolition tool designed for heavy-duty jobs like breaking through concrete, asphalt and rock, making it ideal for roadworks, foundations and major construction. In contrast, a handheld breaker drill, or demolition hammer, is more compact and lightweight, making it ideal for tasks such as removing tiles, chipping concrete or light demolition work around the home or on smaller job sites.

Depending on your project, you may need accessories like chisel, moil point or tile lifter attachments to get the best results from your jack hammer or breaker drill. These tools are designed to target specific materials and applications, such as tile removal or concrete breaking. Other handy accessories for hire include jackhammer trolleys and dust extraction kits.

Yes, you can hire a breaker drill and a tile lifter attachment, which makes the job much easier. For smaller, more precise jobs, a breaker drill with a tile lifter attachment is generally easier to use and offers better control. For extensive tile removal projects, a jackhammer or breaker with a tile scraper is more powerful and efficient.
