The Jackhammer mines out a stone ore node with 500 health in 20 swings and keeps 100% of the ore.
Keeps is the share of what the tool breaks off that reaches your inventory. The rest is destroyed with the swing.

| Node | You get | Swings | Time | Nodes before it breaks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stone ore | 1,000 Stones | 20 | 2.9s | 75 |

What the Jackhammer gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |

The Jackhammer breaks down into Metal Blade, Metal Pipe and Scrap.
A recycler takes one at a time.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “3 + 75%” means 3 every time and a 75% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one. Scrap keeps its decimals: the recycler pays whole pieces and carries the rest into its next payout.

In Rust, Jackhammer is a gathering tool in the Tools category (item ID #1488979457, console shortname jackhammer). When harvesting, it clears a stone ore node in 20 swings while keeping 100% of the yield. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 40 minutes.
A Pneumatic Jackhammer to blast through ore nodes. The sheer power of this device requires no aiming as all weak spots will be instantly destroyed. Works well on human flesh. Can be refilled at a Workbench.
In Rust, Jackhammer has no player crafting recipe; acquisition relies on 4 world loot tables read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler returns 30 scrap at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Worn units restore condition at a Repair Bench at zero material cost.
The Jackhammer keeps the most ore of the 5 mining tools, tied with the Salvaged Icepick and the Pickaxe at 100%.
When comparing Jackhammer against related tools in Rust, prioritize farming its highest-probability monument containers or recycling surplus components at an unpowered radtown green recycler (fifty percent base yield, versus forty percent at safe-zone yellow units) because this item cannot be crafted at a player workbench.

| Hatchet | Tools | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 60 path | Not recyclable |
