The Schmidt hammer is not a hammer as we normally think of it as normally a hammer is a wooden handle with a metal bar at the top used just to hit things very hard. There is no skill required and in the wrong hands, they can be dangerous. Ernest Schmidt invented this hammer in 1948. Ernest was a Swiss engineer. The role of that appliance was to carry out tests on rock and concrete. The tests carried out will let the user know the surface hardness and penetration resistance.
The Silver Schmidt tool is a new and improved product, and has many benefits missing from other hammers. Problems had been identified with existing hammers and these included the fact that impact direction had a direct effect on the rebound value, and a less than perfect reading is given. Friction within the wall can also play a part in affecting the reading. The final problem that could cause lack of accuracy is how well the tool is sealed. Silverschmidts new design sorts out these issues, and as a result, tests are now quicker and even more accurate.
