It is a hammer-only breaking tool that drives a chisel repeatedly into concrete, masonry, asphalt, tiles, or stone. Ultra Touch lists corded models at approximately 1,200–1,500 W, 15–25 J, and 2,900–3,800 blows per minute, depending on the model. A badly matched machine wastes labour before it fails mechanically.

That mechanism moves a piston, transfers force through compressed air or mechanical components, and sends a striker against the chisel shank. The chisel concentrates each blow into a small contact area, opening cracks through the material.
