Air Hammers
Air Hammers use compressed air to drive an internal piston back and forth, delivering blows to a bit at the nose for removing paint, rust and body filler, freeing seized parts and shearing sheet metal. They differ from air impact wrenches, which apply rotary impact for fastening and loosening; select by blow rate and stroke length, air consumption, and vibration and noise levels. Striking bits are not included in this category.

About this category
Air hammers are compressed-air striking tools in which energy from the pneumatic system drives an internal piston that reciprocates rapidly within the tool cylinder, transferring motion to a striking bit held at the nose of the tool. The bit is chosen by application: chisel bits are flat for removing paint and rust, picking bits are pointed for breaking hardened residues, and cutting bits are flat with a defined edge for shearing sheet material. Air hammers vary by blow rate, stroke length, air consumption and grip configuration. They are commonly used in automotive workshops for removing body filler and paint, and in maintenance workshops for breaking out old fittings or freeing seized parts. An air hammer is not a substitute for a hand hammer or an electric rotary hammer, because each operates on different principles and applications. Compressed-air requirements and preparation components (hoses, regulators, filters, lubricators) vary by model, with the manufacturer defining the specifications required for each tool. These components are excluded from this category; filters, regulators and lubricators are available under Air Treatment Equipment. Striking bits are also excluded because they are accessories and consumables, as are large electric demolition hammers. Industrial buyers select air hammer models based on required work type, suitable blow rate, available compressed-air system and site conditions including noise and vibration exposure in different operating environments.
