Chicago Pneumatic BRK25D 7/8” X 3-1/4” Pick Hammer

Chicago Pneumatic BRK25D 7/8” x 3-1/4” Pick Hammer (BRK 25 D) – Hydraulic Horizontal Demolition Power, With Real Control

When the work is horizontal—slab edges, wall runs, floor chipping, and renovation demolition—the tool needs to hit hard and stay stable in your hands. The Chicago Pneumatic BRK25D (BRK 25 D) is built for that exact job: a D-handle hydraulic pick hammer designed for renovation, demolition, and structural alteration work, delivering high-frequency impact in a compact, jobsite-friendly package.

This is the pick hammer you choose when you want fast material removal without fighting the tool all day. It’s designed around the 5 GPM class, so it pairs naturally with many compact hydraulic power packs and common jobsite setups.

Made for Horizontal Work (D-Handle + Optional 360° Front Handle)

The BRK25D is a powerful horizontal pick hammer, and the handling layout reflects it. The D-handle gives you leverage and steering authority for horizontal tasks, while the detachable front handle (optional) pivots 360°, letting you set the grip angle that fits your stance and cut direction.

That adjustability matters when you’re chasing a line, working tight to a wall, or switching between right/left-hand positioning without wasting time.

High-Frequency Performance That Keeps You Moving

If you want production, you want blow rate. The BRK25D is rated around 2,300 blows per minute at 5 GPM, with some published listings showing 2,400 blows per minute depending on how and where the spec is stated. It’s also listed at 18 ft-lb impact energy, strong output for a compact, maneuverable horizontal pick hammer.

Cleaner Hookups and a More Operator-Friendly Layout

Chicago Pneumatic calls out design choices that directly help on real jobsites:

• Slim profile and good line of sight to the working point for better accuracy and faster progress
• Well-balanced body with no external side bolts or protruding parts that can snag or contact the operator
• Flat-face quick-release couplings designed to help keep hydraulic systems cleaner in dusty, dirty work conditions

Those details are the difference between a tool that feels controlled at hour four and one that becomes a wrestling match.

What’s Included (Hose Kit + Quick Couplings)

The BRK25D is commonly supplied with a connection hose kit (3/8" class, roughly 1.6 m length) set up with male and female quick-release couplings and protective caps. That means you’re not piecing together compatibility at the last second—the tool is made to plug into typical hydraulic workflows.

Where the BRK25D Fits Best

The BRK25D is positioned for the kind of work where control matters as much as power:

1. Renovation work (horizontal chipping and removal)
2. Demolition and removal tasks where you want fast material breakup
3. Structural alterations where you need accuracy and manageable size

If your jobs regularly involve controlled chipping where stance, reach, and line control matter, this format is the right call: compact, high-frequency, and designed around horizontal handling.

Serviceability and Long-Term Ownership

This is a tool meant to be maintained, not tossed. Using proper replacement parts and seal kits keeps performance consistent and reduces downtime, especially if the tool is living on a crew or rental schedule where it runs hard.

Bottom Line

If you want a real hydraulic pick hammer in the 7/8” x 3-1/4” class that’s built for horizontal work, the Chicago Pneumatic BRK25D sits in a practical sweet spot: strong blow rate, solid impact energy, and handling features that keep you productive instead of beat up.
