Pick Hammer
A pneumatic pick hammer is a hand-held air tool used for breaking, chipping, cutting and light demolition. Vikay supplies pick hammers from India in the VK 05P, VK 09PS and VK 12PS classes, and the VK 33 and VK 37B corresponding to La Cruz ML 33 and ML 37B.
The pick hammer sits between a
chipping hammer and a
paving breaker. It is heavy enough to break concrete and masonry but light enough to be worked horizontally and overhead, which is why it is the tool of choice for wall openings, kerb and channel removal, refractory stripping and foundry cleaning.
Vikay pick hammers are air-powered tools built for sustained site duty, taking standard
moil and chisel points so the consumables already on site continue to fit.
The range corresponds to the Atlas Copco TEX 05P, TEX 09PS and TEX 12PS classes as the VK 05P, VK 09PS and VK 12PS, and to the La Cruz ML 33 and ML 37B as the VK 33 and VK 37B. Aftermarket parts for the TEX range are listed under
Atlas Copco Tex Parts.
