The paving breaker asphalt wedge the paver wedge, on many crews concentrates each blow through a tapered, V-shaped head that splits asphalt and pries it up in sections, quicker than pulverizing when the goal is removal. High-quality heat-treated steel takes the repeated impact of road work, in hex shanks of 1 x 4-1/4, 1-1/8 x 6 and 1-1/4 x 6 in. with 12 in. and 17-1/2 in. overall lengths.

For a scored, clean-edged line before you split, run the asphalt cutter first; when the same work turns up frozen, the frost wedge carries the load. All three hang in our blade tools for paving breakers, sized for the jackhammers and paving breakers Crowder Supply stocks.
