Road breaker vs SDS drill vs floor saw
A quick education-focused comparison of three commonly confused power tools. Suitability always depends on your specific task, materials and unit supplied — confirm before booking.
| Tool | Designed for | Best at |
|---|---|---|
| Road breaker | Heavy breaking, chiselling and demolition | Breaking concrete slabs, asphalt and hard surfaces on demolition and trench work. |
| SDS drill | Drilling holes for fixings and light chiselling | Drilling masonry, concrete and brick for fixings — and small-scale chasing where a breaker would be too heavy. |
| Floor saw | Straight cuts in concrete or asphalt | Precision cutting and clean line removal where you need to limit damage to the surrounding slab. |
Rule of thumb: if the job is heavy breaking on slabs, hard surfaces or demolition prep, a road breaker is purpose-built for it. For drilling and fixings, choose a hammer drill or SDS drill. For neat cut-outs in concrete or asphalt, a floor saw may be more suitable. Confirm tool choice with us before booking if unsure.

Frequently asked questions
Can I hire a heavy duty road breaker in London?
Yes. We supply an electric heavy-duty road breaker for hire across London, with collection from Greenford UB6 or delivery by booking. Confirm hire dates, site setup and accessory needs before booking.
Can it break concrete?
Road breakers are designed for breaking concrete and similar hard materials where suitable. Whether it will be effective on your specific slab depends on slab thickness, reinforcement, condition and unit supplied. Share details before booking and we can advise.
Can it break paving slabs or paths?
Yes — paving slabs, paths and similar hard surfaces are common applications, where suitable. Confirm the material, slab thickness, access and site conditions before booking so we can advise on suitability.
Is it suitable for floors?
Road breakers are commonly used for floor demolition and breakout work, where suitable. Indoor work needs care around dust, noise and access — confirm slab type, thickness, ventilation and access before booking.
Is it the same as a jack hammer?
Yes — “jack hammer”, “kango breaker” and “floor breaker” are common informal names for a road breaker. They all describe a heavy-duty breaking tool used for concrete, slabs and demolition.
Is it the same as an SDS drill?
No. An SDS drill is designed mainly for drilling holes in masonry and concrete and for light chiselling. A road breaker is a much heavier tool built for breaking slabs, hard surfaces and demolition work. For drilling, an SDS drill or percussion drill is normally more suitable.
Are points or chisels included?
Points, chisels and steels are not included as standard. Confirm what you need before booking so we can advise.
Are bits or accessories included?
Bits, attachments and other accessories are not included unless specifically confirmed in writing before booking. Confirm your accessory requirements before booking so we can advise.

Power setup depends on the unit supplied. Confirm exact power setup before booking — including whether a step-down transformer or other supply arrangement is required for your site. Transformers are not included unless specifically confirmed in writing before booking.
Who should use a road breaker?
Competent users only. Road breakers are heavy-duty demolition tools that require experience, physical capability and the right PPE. They are not suitable for inexperienced users or general DIY without supervision.
