What tool produces a rough cut but is acceptable for applications where the cut will be hidden?

The breaking hammer, often referred to as a jackhammer, is a powerful tool designed for demolition and breaking up concrete or other hard materials. It produces rough cuts by delivering high-impact force, which can result in uneven edges and surfaces.

In applications where the cut will be hidden, such as under a surface that will be covered or not visible to the eye, the roughness of the cut is less of a concern. Therefore, a breaking hammer is suitable for situations where the aesthetics of the cut are not a priority, allowing for efficient demolition or modification of structures without worrying about precision finishing.

Other tools, like a chisel, are more suited for fine detail work and shaping, while concrete saws are intended for making clean, precise cuts in concrete that need to be visible. Thus, the breaking hammer serves its purpose well in rough-cut scenarios where the final appearance does not matter.
