Atlas Copco Construction Tools LLC introduces its new TEX pneumatic handheld breaker series. Featuring vibration reduction and other ergonomic upgrades for enhanced operator comfort and productivity, the breakers are ideal for concrete and asphalt breaking applications.

Models in the new line include the 34-pound TEX 140PS and 42-pound TEX 180PS. Each breaker comes standard with an innovative SOFSTART two-step trigger that allows the operator to fully control the chisel when starting a cut.
