Chicago Pneumatic 30 lb. Pneumatic Breaker Series

Chicago Pneumatic 30 lb. Pneumatic Breaker Series: High Performance, Minimum Fatigue

When a project calls for hard-hitting impact but demands a tool that won’t wear out the operator, the Chicago Pneumatic 30 lb. Breaker Series is the industry standard. Comprising the CP 0112, CP 0112 S, and CP 0112 EX, this light breaker lineup delivers an ideal balance of aggressive demolition power and lightweight maneuverability. Engineered for light-to-medium construction and plant maintenance, these 4-bolt high-performance tools deliver the necessary hitting force to make quick work of concrete floors, sidewalks, asphalt, and masonry without the punishing weight of a heavy-duty rig. Built for the Long Haul: Core Features Every breaker in the CP 0112 family is engineered with Chicago Pneumatic’s signature durability and smart ergonomics:

• Alloy Steel Forgings: Delivers exceptional structural durability to withstand the harshest job site environments.
• Four-Bolt Backhead Design: Heavily ruggedized to survive extensive, punishing use while requiring minimal servicing to maintain peak operating efficiency.
• Integral Oiler: An onboard, easy-to-fill oil reservoir provides continuous lubrication to critical internal components, minimizing downtime and extending tool life.
• Shock-Absorbing Front Head: Polyurethane front-head springs, side bolts, and an anvil system significantly minimize repairs and reduce harsh reaction forces sent back to the operator.
• Teasing Throttle: Provides precision control, allowing operators to easily start a cut or groove even under unstable or awkward surface conditions.

Model Breakdown: Choose Your Specialization While sharing the same rugged DNA, each model in the CP 0112 line is optimized for specific application environments:

1. CP 0112: The Standard Workhorse

The baseline CP 0112 is the quintessential lightweight breaker. It is explicitly optimized for environments with strict weight restrictions or where operators must manipulate the tool horizontally or at awkward angles.

• Best For: General sidewalk/slab demolition, bridge deck maintenance, and foundation chipping.
• Retainer Type: Latch

2. CP 0112 S: Silenced for Urban Environments

The CP 0112 S (“S” for Silenced) is equipped with a high-efficiency polyurethane muffler that significantly suppresses operating noise without compromising hitting power.

• Best For: Sound-sensitive environments such as residential neighborhoods, hospitals, school zones, and indoor plant maintenance. Complies with strict urban noise directives.
• Retainer Type: Kick Latch

3. CP 0112 EX: Extended Handle for Trenching

The CP 0112 EX (“EX” for Extended) features an elongated handle configuration specifically engineered to keep operators upright when working below grade.

• Best For: Utility trench break-out work and deep ditch digging. It significantly minimizes lower back strain and operator fatigue during prolonged downward breaking.
• Retainer Type: Latch
