Pound for pound, there is no hammer with more hitting power than a rivet buster.  Even a paving breaker would need to be at least twice as heavy to deliver an equivalent blow.  This super-power can still be controlled thanks to low blow frequency and teasing throttle.  That's why the rivet buster is one of the favorite tools of demolition contractors in the US.  Users have discovered many new applications for rivet busters for working in both concrete and steel.  No longer is the buster used exclusively by iron workers for forming and cutting rivets, but is has now found its way into the hands of operators who need the most powerful tool for the job.

Concrete Applications

• Bridge deck work, where weight of breakers is restricted
• De-capping foundation pillars, where concrete is very hard
• Medium to hard concrete demolition
• As an alternative to paving breakers where high hitting power is required but applied in a restrained space or working horizontally

Metal Applications

• Cutting and removing large rivets and bolts with narrow chisels and backout punch, or other special steel and accessories
• Cutting metal tanks or plates (3/16" thick, 5mm) with ripper chisel
• Industrial applications such as foundries or the petrochemical industry with beryllium chisels
