Air Tools - Demolition
Demolition air tools convert compressed air into percussive force for breaking and chipping. The catalog's class here is the air chipping hammer, the standard tool for controlled removal of concrete, masonry, and weld scale.
Cómo funciona
Compressed air cycles a piston inside the tool body, striking the retained steel (chisel, point, or scaling tool) hundreds to thousands of times per minute. The operator guides the tool while the air supply provides the breaking energy, so performance depends directly on delivering the tool's rated cfm and pressure.

- Pneumatic percussion tool for chipping concrete, masonry, weld slag, and scale.
Cómo elegir
Chipping hammers suit vertical and overhead chipping, joint cleanout, and selective demolition where a full-size breaker would remove too much. The supporting compressor must meet the hammer's cfm rating continuously. For breaking full slabs or foundations, a heavier pneumatic breaker class is the better match.
