Variable-speed technology: pros and cons hammers that sense the rock’s density or hardness of the material to be broken and speeds up between blows from 1 speed to 15 speed. “Variable speed hammers work efficiently in areas where rock density changes. This, in turn, reduces operation costs in terms of tool lifespan, higher Naidu explains that variable-speed hammers are efficient production
