TEX 12 PE - Pick Hammer

Weighing 12 kg, it is highly balanced and gives operators the extra impact power needed to break through brick, asphalt, and concrete without shaking their arms. It is a complete package of power and comfort.

Key Features & Benefits of TEX 12 PE 8461 0211 38

• HAPS Vibration Reduction: Built with Atlas Copco’s Hand and Arm Protection System. The internal hammer mechanism soaks up the heavy shocks of the movement of the internal parts before they can reach the operator.
• SOFSTART Two-Step Trigger: Gives you total control when starting a cut. Pressing it halfway lets you place the chisel accurately without the tool slipping or misfiring.
• Heavy-Duty Latch Retainer: Uses a traditional, ultra-tough latch system to lock the steel chisel firmly into place, providing ultimate safety during heavy downward breaking. It also provides the comfort of changing the working tools with ease, as you do not have to pick the tool and unscrew the retainer. Just kick the latch, and the working tool will get released.
• Polyurethane Silencer: It is equipped with a built-in muffler that cuts loud exhaust noise by up to 75%, keeping job sites safer and quieter.

Why Select the TEX 12 PE Pick Hammer

1. True Floating-Body Comfort

   The Advantage: The hitting parts inside the tool, like the piston, float in a cushioned casing to absorb shocks.

   Comparison: Standard hammers use stiff, solid metal frames that pass 100% of the vibration into the operator’s hands. The TEX 12 PE protects workers from long-term joint strain and fatigue. Thus, it also increases the working hours.

2. Perfect Precision from the First Tap

   The Advantage: Uses a progressive two-step trigger system to increase the power gradually.

   Comparison: Most standard pneumatic hammers start at full blast instantly, causing the chisel point to dance around wildly and scratch the work surface. This tool releases the power gradually, thus allowing a perfect line before releasing full force.

3. Long-Lasting Design with Low Maintenance

   The Advantage: Built using tough, heat-treated steel and simple internal parts that do not break easily.

   Comparison: Most of the traditional hammers come with a lot of internal parts, causing frequent downtime of the tool due to parts failure and costly project delays. In contrast. The new-generation Atlas Copco pneumatic hammers comes with lesser parts but generates effective power.

The Tex 12PE comes in two different shank sizes:

• 8461 0211 38: - Hex Shank 22 x 82.5 mm (⁷/₈" x 3¼")
• 8461 0211 39: - Round Shank 25 x 75 mm (1" x 3")

If you are confused which shank you want to select, we can help you to make the decision.

An operator decides which shank to select based on two main things:

• Whether the chisel needs to stay locked in one position while operating and
• The type of material they are breaking.

Here is a simple breakdown of how operators can decide which shank to select – Hex or Round

a. Hex Shank 22 x 82.5 mm (⁷/₈" x 3¼") - 8461021138

When to use it: For heavy demolition, straight-line cutting, and breaking hard concrete or asphalt.

• How it works: The hexagonal (six-sided) flat edges lock the chisel firmly inside the hammer chuck. This completely stops the chisel from rotating or twisting during operation
• Why operators choose it:
  • It gives the user complete control over flat-edged bits like wide chisels, asphalt cutters, and spade tools.
  • It prevents the tool from slipping sideways when trying to work on a straight line or trim a clean edge on a wall or floor or during masonry work.

b. Round Shank 25 x 75 mm (1" x 3") - 8461021139

When to use it: For clay digging, soft rock tunnelling, underwater operation, and loose soil excavation.

• How it works: The round barrel allows the chisel bit to spin and rotate freely inside the tool while it hits.
• Why operators choose it:
  • It is ideal for scoop-shaped bits like clay spades or tunnelling scoops.
  • As the tool digs into soft clay, earth, or shale, the spinning action keeps the blade from getting wedged, stuck, or jammed in the ground. If a hex shank were used here, the tool would twist out of the operator's hands when the chisel gets stuck.
