B25D PERCUSSIVE TOOLS
Introduced: September 1968
Description
B25D covers hand-held and portable power-driven tools that operate through striking, hammering, or percussion mechanisms. This includes pneumatic, electric, and manual hammers; chisels and breakers; jackhammers; and nail guns designed for fastening or breaking applications. The classification encompasses both the percussive tools themselves and their operational mechanisms, excluding general hand tools without percussion function that fall under other B25 subclasses.
