Tools, Equipment, & AttachmentsHave you heard about the latest tool or piece of equipment? Do you have any favorites? Whether it's hydraulic, air, electrical, or mechanical that uses grapples, hammers, shears or wrecking balls, you can talk about all of it here.
Do any of you guys use hydraulic power packs to run jack hammers or demo saws? I have been thinking of buying a set up to run hammers and saws to eliminate the electric hammers and gas demo saws when working inside. I feel like it would be a more efficient and safer way to go. Let me know what you guys have experienced. Thanks!
Since most of my work is over or under the water, I use a lot of hydraulics. They seem to maintain efficiency better than air tools and last last a lot longs. The trade-off is that they are bulkier to move around with the pair of fluid filled hoses and they generally are more expensive than air tools. A friend of mine manufactures power units to your specifications and can answer any of you questions.

We just purchased a new hydraulic power pack, an Atlas Copco, along with 2 jack hammers and a chipping gun. The guys are excited to take this out for a beating. We had the unit retrofitted with a scrubber attachment to always keep it close and keep it indoors. I'll be posting some pictures of it as soon as we get it on the job.
Your guys will enjoy the efficiency of the hydraulic hand tools. We use hydraulic tools on a regular basis, but we run them off a PTO on our CB Tracked Haulers so the guys can carry tools, spoils etc. Check out a video here and here
The hydraulic packs we were looking at were about $5,000 dollars so having that capability with everything else the CB Tracked Hauler offers us and our customers was a great added value.
I don't know how to embed the youtube video in the post.

It really matters what you are looking to do with it. They are expensive to maintain. they are heavy. The tools are not cheap to repair. If a hose breaks it causes a real mess most tools operate between 8gpm to 12gpm and most have 15gal. in the system when you see that much oil on the floor it makes you think was this a good choice and it will happen. We own 17 power packs and I hate everyone. Hy-CYCLE is the furture
