Air Hammer

Hammers for Increased Work Efficiency
Since as early as 2,600,000 BCE, mankind has used hammers to deliver an impact on an object. Today, this hand tool is most commonly used to drive in nails, forge metal, break objects as well as fit parts together. This article explores three types of hammers that have gained popularity for the sheer convenience they provide to users.
Slide Hammer
The slide hammer is a must-have for any do-it-yourselfer who likes to tinker with cars. To pull out a dent, the user needs to hold the handle of the slide hammer and screw or hook the other end into the dent. Then, the weight is whipped towards the handle. The force exerted pulls out the dent easily.
While the force of the slide hammer is very useful to pull out a part without much effort, the user must be in control of it to avoid further damage to the vehicle.
Impact Hammer
An impact hammeris used in structural and modal analysis to learn the response of a component or system to impacts of varying amplitude and duration.
The tool is struck on a mechanical structure and response information is collected from accelerometers mounted on it. While a single accelerometer yields transfer and transactional characteristics of this structure, integrating the responses from several accelerometers mounted at various points facilitates modal analysis.
Force and pulse duration are the most critical specifications for impact hammers. These are rated by minimums and maximums. The highest frequency for which the response will be tested is another specification, which can be altered by using accessory tips.
Impact hammers use a variety of striking tips composed of different material and hardness. Harder tips deform less and have shorter pulse duration as compared to softer ones. As a result, the highest frequencies are measured using the harder tips. Extender masses may be set to concentrate the energy content further.
Air Hammer
An air hammer uses highly pressurized air to drive a hammer into a workpiece for shaping, scoring or smoothing purposes. Impacting a workpiece several thousand times per second, with pressures of several dozen pounds per square inch (PSI), an air hammer enables metal shaping in a matter of minutes without much manual labor.
While a hammer tip is used for smoothing and shaping, a chisel one is used for cutting and scoring. Aluminum, copper and other soft metals are easy to shape and polish; stronger metals like stainless steel consume pressurized air rapidly and need the air hammer set at maximum PSI levels. Then again, smoothing jobs need lower pressures as compared to shaping ones.
The biggest benefit of an air hammer is that it allows metal shaping without heating it in a forge, thus providing a very safe working environment and the convenience of minimum labor to craftsmen.

Can I use a small air hammer to break up rocks?
I have some rocks in my yard that are too large for me to dig up / lift. I have a good compressor and was considering buying an air hammer (the small automotive kind) that run in the $15-40 range. I am hoping to be able to go out there with face/eye protection and break apart the rock so I can get it out of the ground. Will this work? I really dont want to rent large equipment or spend a lot.
This is a related question, but is for cement:

I kinda doubt that a small air hammer is going to have the power you'll need to break up large rocks. You'll just wear it (and you) both out trying to do that. How large of a rock are you talking? You can use a leverage system to move them, which would be cheap. A long 2x6 and some sort of block to get the leverage should do it, provding they're not great big honkin boulders. Too, if there is a tree nearby, you could always get a come-a-long to pull them, and even lift them in to a truck or trailer or whatever. Just keep hands and toes clear! Properly wrap the boulder, lift it up with the come-a-long, then back the truck or trailer underneath it and let the rock down in to the truck. I've done something like that before... not too hard... and very inexpensive. Dont lift the rock any higher than necessary tho.... just a few inches higher than the bed of the truck or trailer....
As for your concrete question... I still say you'll have the same problem.... the concrete is probably well aged, so it will more than likely be tough as nails....... hittin it with one of those little air hammers will probably be like hittin an anvil with a cottonball.
Bosch and DeWalt both make a good SDS hammer drill. It is more expensive, but I really think it would work better. Get the hammer drill, and drill a series of holes in the rock and/or concrete in a straight line....... preferably with a bit that can penetrate all the way through, or atleast most of the way through..... once you've drilled all the way across, smack it a few good times with a sledge hammer and it should break with no problem. I've busted through many a concrete floor, driveway, and wall with this method. It's not to tough, and it'll sure as heck be faster than one of these little air hammers......
You might also see if your local equipment rental co has a hammer drill with SDS chuck that you can rent....
