EZEBREAK Demolition System
We offer 3 versions of Micro-Blaster to fit any project
EZEBREAK product line, a suite of patented rock breaking equipment that is powerful, portable, lightweight, and affordable. It is easily operated by contractors, excavators, field workers, and more to efficiently remove boulders, concrete structures, and rock formations. Our devices may be used in many instances where much costlier techniques are typically required, resulting in a considerable reduction of cost and time..
The EZEBREAK / Micro-Blaster ™ product line is an innovative solution to the problem of demolishing large rock or masonry structures. The equipment can be used by public works departments, rural landowners, road crews, landscape contractors, construction contractors, installers of underground water, electric, gas, or sewer lines, and National Park and Forest Service employees engaged in back country trail building and maintenance as well as personnel involved in rescue. New customers include people involved in Geology, Mineralogy, Palaeontology, Mineral Exploration and other related subjects.
Micro-Blaster is reliable, easy to use and safe. The best feature of this amazing product is that it SAVES TIME AND MONEY.
Micro-Blaster l
The MICRO-BLASTER I is a compact and affordable demolition system utilizing a fast burning proprietary gas producing cartridge to crack rock and masonry. Operated remotely with a 25-foot pull cord, the MICRO-BLASTER I is safe and easy to use. Because of its low energy output, this system is usable in almost any environment. Requiring only a 5/16 inch diameter hole, 9 inches deep, the system can be employed without the need of expensive large hole drilling systems.
Assembled using hardened tool steel components, the MICRO-BLASTER I provides many years of trouble-free use and is easily serviced in the field with common hand tools.
Packaged in a durable and compact molded case (13.5 in.W x 10 in.D x 3.5 in. H), the MICRO-BLASTER Kit comes complete with a Micro-Blaster, hole blower, hex key, bull pins (for wedging apart cracked rock), release cord assembly and manual.

The Micro-Blaster II offers several improvements over the original Micro-Blaster.
Triggered by a pressure pulse simplifying drilling strategy, freeing the user from the restraints of the lanyard activation of the original Micro-Blaster. Pressure sources can be either compressed air or CO2 cartridge technology.
Intrinsic safety: The system cannot fire until remotely pressurized by the operator. Simultaneous firing of multiple Micro-Blaster II units allows much larger masses to be cracked through the use of a manifold/valve assembly connecting multiple units. Simplified assembly/disassembly for easier and faster field maintenance.
The Micro-Blaster II is a safe and economical system for the cracking of rock and masonry. Based on propellant technology, special blasting licenses are not required. The small size of the system allows it to be used in almost any location. Capable of breaking rock or masonry of almost any size by successive blasts, the Micro-Blaster II does its job with almost no fly-rock, which can be completely eliminated with the use of light mats.
Pneumatically triggered from a 25 ft. distance, the system can be configured to allow multiple simultaneous shots using a variety of pressure sources including CO2 and compressed air.
The Micro-Blaster II is available in two versions, a single head kit as well as a triple head kit for larger projects.
Requiring only a 5/16 inch hole, 10 inches deep, the system allows the use of inexpensive drilling equipment, often a major capital expense for demolition work.
Designed for many years of trouble-free performance, the kit weights only 10 lbs.
The durable molded case measures 15″ x 12″ x 6″ and contains the Micro-Blaster II, a bore brush and bulb blower (for cleaning drilled holes), 2 tapered pins (for wedging apart cracked material), a CO2 bicycle inflator (for pressurizing the system), and instructions for safe use.
Micro-Blaster ll x 3 head Kit
Our most popular version, the Micro-Blaster IIx3 Kit contains 3 Micro-Blaster II heads and a 3 way manifold/valve assembly to allow the simultaneous triggering of 1, 2 or 3 heads. This assembly comes with a small padlock and key to lock out the system rendering it unfirable between shots greatly adding to safety. The Micro-Blaster IIx3 will allow users to break much larger masses of rock or concrete than with just the single head models.
Users will need to supply a source of compressed air or CO2 (minimum 75 psi, 7 gallon portable air tank recommended) to trigger their systems. If working in remote areas a “T” handle bicycle pump and our 1/2 gal aluminum air tank will allow for a very portable triggering system. Note that you will need to outfit your air source with a quick coupler (1/4″ Industrial Interchange) to connect to the hose on the MB IIx3 Manifold/Valve to your air source.
We offer a Micro-Blaster II Portable Air Tank. And, for those who already have their own air tank, we offer an Air Tank Conversion Kit, contact us for more information and ordering.

Breaking Bedrock With the EZEBREAK / Micro-Blaster™
Breaking free boulders is easy for the Micro-Blaster. Lots of pressure inside the rock and little or no pressure outside. Bedrock poses a unique problem. Bedrock can extend beyond your dig area, And therefore offers no free edge on which to start breaking. The solution turns out to be quite simple. Start by creating a crater in the bedrock using your Micro-Blaster.
Drill your holes at an angle, So the shot will cause the rock to break.. UP. Drop in your cartridges. Set the heads. And blast.
Using the triple head attachment you can imagine your new Micro-Blaster taking out an even larger swath per shot.
Remove the loose rock.
Now, working from the crater’s edges the Micro-Blaster can chop away at the bedrock, making more manageable pieces.
