A hydraulic hammer, comprising:
- a housing configured to receive a housing portion of a tool;
- a first plurality of rods provided in the housing,
- wherein the first plurality of rods are configured to engage a first portion of the housing portion of the tool, and
- wherein the first plurality of rods are parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tool;
- a second plurality of rods provided in the housing,
- wherein the second plurality of rods are configured to engage a second portion of the housing portion of the tool, and
- wherein the second plurality of rods are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tool;
- and
- a tool stop member, between the first plurality of rods and the second plurality of rods, configured to limit a movement of the tool, along the longitudinal axis, in a direction towards the first plurality of rods.
A machine, comprising:
- a machine body;
- a boom supported by the machine body;
- a stick mounted to the boom;
- and
- a hydraulic hammer mounted to the stick, wherein the hydraulic hammer comprises:
- a housing configured to receive a tool,
- a first plurality of rods provided in the housing and parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tool,
