Milwaukee Jack Hammer 5338 - 805A1700 (1997)

The Milwaukee Jack Hammer 5338-805A1700 is a power tool used for digging holes in concrete. It consists of a handle, valve, pile driver, and drill bit. These parts work together to penetrate pavement using air pressure. Alternatively, electric jackhammers use a motor to create motion without an air compressor. These powerful tools are typically seen on construction sites, but some DIYers use them for their own projects.

Jackhammers can be dangerous if not used properly. To ensure your safety, always wear goggles, gloves, ear protection, and a hard hat. Inspect the jackhammer thoroughly; become familiar with it. Read the manual before operating. If using an electric jackhammer, check the oil level and air filter first.

The Milwaukee Jack Hammer 5338-805A1700 was manufactured in 1997, but you can still purchase replacement parts.

To identify the Milwaukee Jack Hammer 5338-805A1700, you will see the Milwaukee logo in the center of the motor on the top part of the tool. The motor is inside a red and gray case, while the pile driver is in a black case.
