As the largest selling hammer in the UK, the Epiroc range of SB hydraulic hammers, previously branded as Atlas Copco, combines superior efficiency and performance with outstanding reliability which is why is comes with a 3-year warranty. Although not the cheapest, discerning customers pay for quality and reliability. But why do these customers stick a cheap, non-quality tool in their Epiroc SB hammer? It may be that all SB tools look the same so why not save a few pounds? You cannot see the difference between a quality Epiroc SB tool and a cheap one as they all look the same, the secret is in the metal and the heat treatment. Cheap tools mean cheap metal and inferior heat treatment which in turn means broken tools and damaged pistons.
