Air-Powered Hammers
Available62 products
Air-powered hammers strike chisels and punches against surfaces for aggressive material removal and demolition work. They have a longer stroke to deliver more powerful percussive action than scalers. Chisels and punches can be changed out for different blade and tip styles as long as the bit shank is compatible with the hammer. They are held in the barrel of the hammer by a retainer, which keep the bits from flying off the tool during use. Depending on the type of hammer and the bits used, air hammers can chisel, cut, chip, scrape, shape, split, and drive. Air hammers perform general material removal and light chipping. Chipping hammers perform heavy material removal and light demolition. Rivet-busting hammers remove or set rivets, cut through tanks, and break up brick or concrete. Riveting hammers set rivets for assembling parts and repairing metal structures.
Air Hammers
Air hammers use bits with 0.401" or 0.498" round shanks to handle most material removal and light chipping tasks. Sometimes called zip guns or chiseling hammers, they are generally lighter and more compact but less powerful than chipping hammers. They are commonly used to remove scale and slag, debur surfaces, and clean castings. Their pistol-grip design sets the barrel at a right angle to the grip, so users can control the pressure applied to the bit and hold the tool steady in a range of positions on vertical and horizontal surfaces. They have a trigger switch to activate the tool.

Chipping Hammers
Chipping hammers use bits with 0.580” or 0.680” round or hex shanks to perform heavy material removal and light demolition tasks. Their long barrel allows a longer stroke length and more driving power than air hammers. They clean off heavy slag and buildup, chip away adhered layers, pry apart fused materials, and break down assembled components. Chipping hammers require two-handed operation to maintain control, with one hand on the barrel and the other on the handle at the back of the tool. They have a switch on the handle for activating the tool.

Air Hammer Kits
Kits include an air hammer and bits suited for different tasks. They ensure compatibility between components and eliminate the need to select a separate tool and bits. Air hammers use bits with 0.401" or 0.498" round shanks to handle most material removal and light chipping tasks. Sometimes called zipguns or chiseling hammers, they are lighter and more compact but less powerful than chipping hammers. They are commonly used to remove scale and slag, debur surfaces, and clean castings.

Rivet Busting Hammers
Rivet-busting hammers have an extra-long barrel and stroke to deliver powerful blows to remove or set rivets, cut through tanks, and break up brick or concrete. Also called air busters, these hammers use long, thick-shanked chisel bits. They provide similar force to jackhammers, but are lighter to ease transport and reduce operator fatigue during extended use. Rivet busters require two-handed operation to maintain control, with one hand on the barrel and the other on the handle at the back of the tool. They have a switch on the handle for activating the tool.

Riveting Hammers
Riveting hammers use chisel bits to set rivets for assembling parts and repairing metal structures, especially in aerospace applications. They deliver a measured blow to prevent damage to rivet heads and surrounding materials. Their compact size allows them to fit inside frames and assemblies. They have a pistol-grip design that sets the barrel at a right angle to the grip, so users can control the pressure applied to the bit and hold the tool steady in a range of positions on vertical and horizontal surfaces. They have a trigger switch on the grip to activate the tool.
