10 percussion tools you can find on the market

Percussion tools, as their name suggests, are tools that are used to either exert an impact on an element or receive an impact and deform a piece. Percussion tools are regularly used in construction, carpentry or industrial work, among others, and are an element that we have to find in any toolbox.

Normally all percussion tools are made of hard materials such as iron or steel since due to the type of use they receive strong impacts and in this way the rigidity is not affected.

There are many different types of percussion tools on the market that we wanted to compile in the following list with an explanation of the use that can be given to each of them.

Chisels

Chisels are a very important tool for all professionals who want to cut, divide, groove or roughen cold materials, by means of an impact on the back of the chisel. These tools are commonly used in sectors such as masonry, DIY, carpentry, among others.

One of the main elements of the chisel is the tip, since depending on the work we are doing we will need a chisel with one type of tip or another.

In the Bianditz catalogue you can find a Chisel model with measurements 12×9.5x130mm.

Granetes

The granete, like the chisel, is a tool that should not be missing from any toolbox. This tool has a point at one end and is used to mark a material such as sheet metal so that a hole or perforation can be made later with a drill bit.

The main element of the punch is the tip, since it will determine the type of drill bit that we will use later to make the hole.

In the Bianditz catalogue you can find the following punch sizes: 2x9x130mm, 4x9x130mm, 5x11x150mm, 6x11x160mm, 8x11x160 and 10x11x160mm.

Automatic granetes

An automatic punch has the same function as a normal punch, but the biggest difference is that with the automatic one we will not have to hit the back of the punch with a hammer, the tool has an internal mechanism that creates the impact when we press it against a surface.

In the Bianditz automatic granetes catalogue we can find the following reference: 2x130mm

Conical punches

Nailers are tools commonly used in the world of carpentry or construction. These elements serve to push nails into the wood and thus hide them under the surface and can be covered later.

In the Bianditz catalogue we can find punches ranging from 2mm to 10mm with two types of lengths, long and extra-long.

Cylindrical punches

Cylindrical pins, like conical pins, are widely used tools in carpentry and construction and are used to push or extract nails or other types of objects from different surfaces. Unlike conical pins, which are cone-shaped, cylindrical pins have a uniform size throughout the head.

In the Bianditz cylindrical pin catalogue, we can find pins ranging from 4 to 10 mm in width or a complete set with different pin sizes.

Hammers

The hammer is one of the most well-known percussion tools on the market and surely everyone can have one in their toolbox as it is a fundamental element both at a professional level and at a user level.

A hammer can have many uses, but the most common is usually hammering nails, breaking pieces or deforming materials. Being one of the most common percussion tools, we can find many types of uses and hammers depending on the use that is going to be given to it.

The most commonly used hammers are claw hammers, wedge hammers, ball hammers, soft hammers, etc.

Pointers or punches

A punch is a piece with a small, sharp point that is used to punch holes in materials, while the other side is wide for hitting with a hammer. We can find different types of punches depending on the material and the width of the point. With a punch we can mark the area to be punched or make complete holes.

Maces

Maces are short-handled wooden hammers with a large head that are used to strike chisels, burins, punches, etc., in order to cut the desired material. While most of the percussion tools mentioned in this list are used to strike and deform the surface to be worked, mallets act on percussion tools.

Burins

The burin is one of those tools that we don’t see in a toolbox on a regular basis, but its use can be very important in those jobs where we need to cut, groove or roughen cold materials by hitting them with a hammer. Like most percussion tools, it is made of a metal bar and we can easily distinguish it by its “arrow” shaped tip.

In the Bianditz catalogue you can find a reference for a burin with a size of 5×9.5x130mm

Hide tips

Tip hiders are a type of nail hider that serves, as the name suggests, to hide a nail or a nail under the surface and then cover it up and leave it “hidden”.

Within the Bianditz percussion tools catalogue we can find tip hiders with sizes 2x9x130mm, 2.5x9x130mm, 3.2x9x130mm, 4x9x130mm, 5x9x130mm and 6x9x130mm. and with mechanical or automatic action.

Safety when using percussion tools:

When using percussion tools, it is advisable to follow certain safety rules to avoid any problems with possible chips or particles that we generate due to the impact, which is why we leave a small list of recommendations to follow.
Use safety glasses that cover the eye area well.

• Use the right tool for the right job
• Always have your equipment ready. Chisels and burins well sharpened, punches in optimal condition, punches without deformations…
• Work on a suitable surface with a good grip on the material.
• Use protective gloves when necessary.
