A paving breaker feather, used for breaking up or splitting materials like concrete or asphalt. It’s specifically designed to make the job easier when tackling tough surfaces that require precision or a controlled break.
- Design: The defining feature of a paving breaker feather is its feather-shaped or tapered tip. This design allows it to gradually split the material in a controlled manner, making it useful for creating cracks or fractures in concrete or asphalt. Unlike a standard chisel, the feather tool is designed to create fractures in the material without excessive force. The tapered shape helps to initiate cracks in specific areas, allowing for more controlled splitting and reducing the risk of collateral damage to surrounding surfaces.
- Applications: Used for splitting large concrete slabs or asphalt surfaces in a more controlled manner than traditional chisels or hammers. Ideal for creating controlled fractures around obstacles like pipes, curbs, or walls without causing damage to the surrounding material. Commonly used for splitting old paving surfaces or preparing roads for repaving. Used in construction when breaking large pieces of material to facilitate excavation or to prepare a site for the installation of utilities.
- Material: Made from high-quality, heat-treated steel for enhanced hardness, impact strength, and long-term durability.
- Configurations: 1-1/2″ and 2″ hole diameters.
