This specialized tool is employed in construction and demolition to create a textured or bush-hammered finish on concrete and masonry surfaces. It’s designed for use with rotary hammer drills that utilize the SDS Max shank system, ensuring a secure and efficient power transfer during operation. The tool’s head typically features multiple hardened points that repeatedly impact the surface, producing a rough, decorative effect.
The use of this type of tool allows for efficient and controlled surface preparation, crucial for achieving proper adhesion of coatings or for aesthetic enhancements. Historically, achieving such textures required manual labor, making this a significantly faster and more consistent method. Furthermore, the standardized shank system ensures compatibility across various brands of power tools, adding to its versatility.
