So actual kango breakers are rare no?
So actual kango breakers are rare no?
I would probably say rare in the fact its a survivor but other than that Kango churned these out by the thousands so in this respect its not rare to find/have a Kango breaker, if it were mine and in working order I'd keep it
It's 240 volt so only of use to diy. at most I'd say £50. The on/off switches are like hens teeth. So if it packs up ..........Wow I don't think I could have asked for a more informed answer. I was hoping for over a hundred so that sounds good to me. It's like antiques b
Actually the bigger Milwaukees are still called "Milwaukee Kango" in Europe (but not in the USA, despite Kango being well known over their, particularly in railway track work in days gone by).....nowadays theres a multitude of breakers but people still call them Kangos
Maybe for shot cartridge tools, but for carpentry gas nailers (1st fix) the name is Paslode or Passy...much like when people think of nail guns then Hilti is probably the tool that springs to mind first

Well, there is a guy on YouTube who is a Kango collector and who demonstrates a rather nice tater red model 637 and a red 950. As a collector of other tools, though, I have to say that the desirable ones tend to be either mint or near mint condition or (in some cases) just good working tools. TBH if you are trade there are far better (i.e. lighter, faster, less noisy, lower vibration, etc) options out there (such as the Milwaukee Kango 900/950), so they aren't really good working tools any longerRare as in collectable, I would have thought not. I have never heard of a breaker collector.
The other name for a whacker or or tamper was "Paddy's motorbike" on account of the guy driving it invariably coming from the Emerald Isle (although many came to work on a bike or the bus). Later on was used to describe Stihl saws
