The DEWALT D25980 68 lb pavement breaker is a serious demolition tool for contractors breaking concrete slabs, cutting asphalt, and driving chisels through heavy masonry.

DEWALT D25980 Pavement Breaker: Heavy-Duty Performance

The 68 lb weight class gives the breaker the mass needed to break through thick concrete and reinforced materials. It is designed for repeated use in demanding construction and demolition environments. The hammer accepts standard hex chisels and accessories for different applications.

What Oil to Use in Your DEWALT D25980

Proper lubrication is essential to keep the breaker running smoothly. For most breaker hammers in this class, DEWALT recommends a non-detergent SAE 30 oil for the gear case and a high-quality air tool oil (ISO VG 32) for the pneumatic mechanism. Always check your operator's manual for exact specifications and intervals.

How to Change Oil in the D25980

1. Disconnect the tool from its power source and allow it to cool.
2. Position the breaker over a drain pan and remove the oil fill plug.
3. Tilt the tool to drain the old oil completely.
4. Refill with fresh oil to the correct level, then replace the plug securely.
