Mount Prospect, Ill. – Today, Bosch Power Tools and Accessories announced the launch of “JACK” 11335 35-lb. Breaker Hammer. The newest breaker redefines the category with an optimal balance between productivity, long-lasting durability and vibration reduction that only Bosch could engineer. No other tool in its class hits harder, lasts longer or offers the level of comfort, as afforded by the world’s first Active Vibration Reduction System, than JACK.
The Bosch JACK 11335 breaker hammer hits at an unprecedented 34 ft.-lbs. of impact force, but weighs just over 35-lbs. At 20% harder than competition, JACK is the 35-lb. weight class power-to-weight ratio champion. Where other competitors sacrifice tool life and user vibration exposure just to try and compete, Bosch redefined the category with best in class performance, durability and vibration reduction. Combine that with the ability to use this breaker in both horizontal and vertical applications, and users have a level of performance and flexibility never before available to contractors.
“Instead of sacrificing tool durability and user vibration exposure to try and achieve better performance, said Randall Coe, vice president, Bosch Power Tools North America, “Bosch engineered JACK to deliver on all three fronts, best in class performance, durability and vibration reduction, for a measurable return on users’ investment month after month.”
Purchasing and tool crib managers will be pleased to know that JACK outlasts its competitors more than twice as long before requiring service; that’s 55% less downtime from the start. Testing shows that Bosch achieved 300 working hours before requiring maintenance, over the closest competitor, which only lasted 133 hours. Overall, performance and an extra tough metal tube and casing design make this breaker ready for the most rugged job sites.
JACK also features the world’s first Active Vibration Reduction handle, a unique flexible two-handed design that dissipates vibration by 40% over the closest competitor. For professionals tasked with work over extended periods of time, this is a welcome relief. In addition to vibration reduction, JACK is also designed for maximum comfort and control with a special articulating auxiliary handle to maintain the best working posture possible.
Each JACK comes with the new Bosch Self-sharpening Star-point Hex Chisel, which offers constant high removal rates and eliminates service costs due to its revolutionary self-sharpening star-point design. JACK also accommodates all standard 1-1/8-inch hex steel and standard 1-1/8-inch air steel.
The complete Bosch kit includes the 11335 JACK 35-lb. Breaker Hammer, Star-pointed Chisel, lubricant, and specially designed roller case for storage and transport.
