The Epiroc range of SB hammers are the biggest selling range of hydraulic hammers in the UK, fitting a carrier weight range of 700kg to 24 tonnes. With its solid body concept with no breakable tie rods and full tool bushing, the Epiroc SB range of hydraulic breakers with its reliability effectively means you are buying a hammer for life, unlike the myriad of cheap Korean breakers which will end up in the scrap bin after a time as it’s simply worn out and uneconomical to repair.
Every good Epiroc SB hammer deserves a good tool, after all it’s the tool that’s taking all the brunt of breaking. Whether it be a chisel or a point, there’s no point in putting a tool made of recycled bicycles or bake bean tins in the end and then expecting your Epiroc SB hammer to hammer away and perform miracles. When that piston is hitting the top of that tool between 750 to 1750 times a minute, the metal that tool is made of is critical to stop damage to the Epiroc SB breaker. Its not just a question of cheap tools wearing out or breaking quicker than a genuine tool, a cheap chisel or point can cause untold damage to the striking face of your Epiroc SB breaker which, in certain circumstances, can have a catastrophic effect on it costing you a great deal of money to repair.
Here at PES we keep in stock points and chisels for Epiroc SB52, Epiroc SB102 and Epiroc SB302 hydraulic hammers which are the three most popular breakers in service in the UK meaning that you can order a new tool and it will arrive the next day. All other SB models are normally a 2-3 day service direct from Epiroc depending on availability.
The difference in price between a genuine Epiroc SB point or chisel and a non-genuine isn’t that much, but when you keep it genuine you know its not going to let you down and damage your breaker. Is it worth it to try and save a few quid? That’s only a question that a customer can answer but you only need a non-genuine to damage your SB breaker and the few quid you’ve saved goes up in a puff of smoke and a cloud of remorse!!!
Why compromise, you’ve made the decision to purchase the UK’s leading Epiroc SB breaker so why would you put something in the end of it that may not perform correctly?
Always use genuine Epiroc points and chisel for your Epiroc SB hydraulic breaker………….you know it makes sense!!!!
