Chicago PneumaticA047091 Air Chisel, 1-1/4-Inch Smoothing Hammer, .498 Shank for CP717

I drive old used vehicles, and the ones from the rust prone areas of the country can be all kinds of fun to disasssemble.I don't use this often b/c it's so big and powerful, but occasionally I need it, and there is no substitute. I bought this after seeing Eric the Car Guy use Big Nasty (the competing AP hammer) on a subaru rear lateral link bolt that was corroded in place, and it's been more than worth it.Whoever compared this to a firearm was right.... I use some big 200 ton rams at work, but this is an insane amount of power to hold in your hand. I try to always have a hand on the barrel to control it when using the hammer bit, otherwise it can walk all over and destroy anything in its path.Treat this thing with respect - I'm confident it could break every bone in my hand in a fraction of a second if it got away from me in a confined area.

The power this thing has is unreal. It's busted brake rotors apart. Really good trigger control too. Attachment options are a bit limited being a half inch shank but that's no fault of the tool itself.A word to the wise: Treat it like a firearm and keep everything important, yourself included away from the tip. You do NOT want to slip and have this hit flesh.I opted to exchange the beehive retainer in favor of a quick change tip

This is the hardest hitting chisel gun you can buy and many of those others are 600.00-800.00 just for the gun with out accessories, this was 550.00 with collars, chisels, still high but worth the time saved and the adjustable speed trigger is great.

This is the air hammer that Astro tried to emulate with its Big Nasty. Why buy a copy when for a few dollars more you can have the beast? This is a well constructed, very powerful air hammer.

Saves me from having to wear myself out. I work on semis and use this to remove drive axles from volvos and different other things as they arise. This thing is an extreme heavy hitter. It costs quite a bit, but you get what you pay for.

Very good air hammer

I have had several of these over the years. They are the only air hammer to have. Anything else is only suitable for upholstery work or watch repair. If a snapon, mctools, cornhole, or matco guy tell you otherwise, it's BS. Ask them if the bits for this bad boy will fit in theirs. They won't. This takes the 1/2" bits. and will still easily break them. If you work on Farm Equipment, Construction Equipment or Trucks, (sorry, your superduty or duramax or dodgeball are not trucks, they are cars with boxes) you need one of these.

This is the best air hammer on the market. I use it to drive out kingpins, spring pins, rusted bolts, u joints, anything suspension on a commercial truck. You need this if you work on big trucks. No other air hammer compares to this one, not even snap on

Arrived on time, happy with purchase

Big power with trigger control, it can press out a ball joint

Right purchase with a good price. This is a good product for long lasting.

Very good received on time

Definitely more power than the snap on or mac guns. I have only used 4 or 5 times so far and it worked great.
