Could I ask why and how you would drop it onto a hard surface in the first place mate?

No but I'm guessing you ask because of fragile targets like cars, conservatories etc.

You'll see in the photo that it comes with a vinyl sleeve and a foam sock. You choose the protector you want depending on the situation.

Realistically though, I wouldn't fire or throw any kind of throw weight so that it could come down on a fragile target.

Having said that, the foam sock means that you could do this and Thomas has reported that this can be done with confidence, although it's definitely the choice of the operator on the day (& not Thomas' responsibility if you get it wrong 😄).

I wasnt worried about fragile targets, i was wondering what would happen to the expensive throw weight. I work in london and do lots of private square gardens with lots of mature 25 - 30m planes and most are all or partly over roads/hard surfaces. Occationally my throw bag pings off a branch and drops full pelt 20m + onto tarmac/york stone. Its that sort of scenario im wondering about. I know it has that foam cover but that has to seriously impeed performance?? Just picking your brain as i am interested.

I've seen a RK put a hole in a Tarmac drive. Be careful out there OMT, always wear a helmet!

I just picked up this Milwaukee concrete breaker.

No good for cutting trees or making sandwiches but could be useful for breaking me out the dog house, next time I'm sent in it!

Ooh, look at me! 
We’re going battery power, or dipping our toes.

The new 542i has a clutch which swung it for me.

So I got the back handle as a light weight ground/chipper saw.

The topper is not light mind, but poky enough.

With the helmet coms it should make for better work site.

Got a protos as well, so maybe we’ll talk about our feelings regularly!

You know they need batteries and charger don’t you?

You didn’t, did you?

 

You thought you were getting a right bargain!
