Property

The demolition hammer from Bosch, the Bosch GSH 27 VC Professional, was introduced into the market for demolition work in concrete, stone or asphalt. With its impact energy of 69 joules, it is the world’s most powerful electric breaker. This tool achieves an average material removal rate of 3,2 tons per hour (in accordance with EPTA Procedure 03/2008), therefore offering 50% more material removal than the predecessor model. A further advantage of the breaker is its vibration of only 8 m/s2, which is thanks to its vibration-reduced hammer mechanism and its de-coupled handles. Read the article on pages 20 and 21
