Attach one to your skid steer, excavator, or backhoe, and suddenly you’re the hero of crushed concrete and pulverized asphalt. But pick the wrong hammer, and you’ll get more frustration than productivity. Don’t worry—we’ve tested the BLTB series from small to massive, so you know which one will bring the smackdown without breaking your machine… or your spirit.

Quick Performance Checklist

When choosing a hammer, keep an eye on:

  • Working Pressure: High pressure = more pow, but must match your machine.

  • Impact Rate: Small hammers = rapid-fire chipping; large hammers = slow, devastating blows.

  • Impact Energy: More joules = bigger hits. Simple math.

  • Carrier Weight: Keep your skid steer, backhoe, or excavator from tipping.

  • Tool Diameter: Bigger diameter = tougher, longer-lasting bits.
