The standard tool is the bare 44 lb D-handle breaker. The S trim adds a silencing muffler for noise-sensitive urban and hospital work, and the SVR trim adds both the silencer and a vibration-reduced handle for full-shift operators.

How much air does it take?
48 CFM at 90 psi through a 3/4 NPT inlet standard contractor compressor territory.

Is a 40 lb breaker enough for my job?
For sidewalk, patch, asphalt and light slab demolition, yes; thick reinforced slabs favor a heavier class. The paving breaker buyer’s guide compares the weight classes so you can match tool to concrete.
