Tackle the toughest demolition jobs with the Merit Pyramid Moil Point, specifically engineered for the JCB HM033Thydraulic breaker. While a standard moil point is great for general tasks, the Pyramid (Four-Sided) Point is a high-penetration specialist. Designed to concentrate the breaker’s impact energy into a smaller, sharper surface area, this tool is your best defense against reinforced concrete and hard, non-stratified rock.

Why the Pyramid Point Outperforms a Standard Moil
The JCB HM033T is a compact but powerful breaker often used on mini-excavators. To maximize its power, the tool tip geometry is critical:
1. Concentrated Impact Energy
The pyramid shape creates four stress-risers in the material upon impact. This “wedge effect” in four directions simultaneously causes the material to fracture faster than a standard conical moil, which only pushes material outward.
2. Anti-Slip Precision
Standard points can “skate” or slip when hitting angled surfaces or extremely hard rock. The four sharp edges of the Merit Pyramid Point “bite” into the surface immediately, ensuring 100% of the hammer’s energy is transferred directly into the strike point.
3. Superior Heat Dissipation
The geometry of the pyramid point allows for better dust clearance around the tip. By removing pulverized material faster, the tool stays cooler, which prevents the steel from softening (drawing the temper) during long periods of continuous breaking.
Engineering Excellence by Merit
- Vacuum Heat Treated: Our tools undergo a specialized thermal process to ensure a deep-case hardness that resists blunting while maintaining a shock-absorbing core.
- Forged for Strength: Unlike cast alternatives, Merit tools are forged from high-alloy steel, aligning the metal’s grain structure for maximum resistance to snapping.
- OEM Fitment: Machined to the exact shank specifications of the JCB HM033T to ensure perfect alignment with the piston and prevent “blank firing” damage.
Maintenance Tip: Extending Your JCB Tool Life
- Avoid Prying: The Pyramid Point is designed for vertical impact. Never use the tool to pry or leverage rock, as this creates side-loading that can snap even the strongest alloy steel.
- Grease is Life: Ensure the shank is heavily lubricated with molybdenum-disulfide chisel paste every 2 hours of operation to prevent “cold welding” to the bushings.
- Know When to Sharpen: Once the edges of the pyramid become significantly rounded, the tool loses efficiency. Forging is the best way to resharpen, but light grinding can be used if done slowly to avoid overheating the steel.
