This specialized tool is designed for removing tiles and other adhered materials from surfaces like concrete or masonry. It utilizes the SDS Max shank system, a standardized interface ensuring secure and efficient power transfer from a rotary hammer drill. A typical application involves angling the tool against the edge of a tile and using the hammer action of the drill to separate the tile from the substrate.
The importance of this tool lies in its effectiveness and efficiency when compared to manual methods. Its use significantly reduces the time and effort required for tile removal projects, minimizing damage to the underlying surface when used correctly. Historically, manual chisels and hammers were the primary means of tile removal, a labor-intensive process that this specialized tool has largely replaced in professional settings.
