And a chisel set too, 2800BPM , $35 and the chisel set was $25. I can see this coming in handy.

Use mine every day
Ground one of the pointed ends softer round to use for walking wheels off axles & pto pulleys off cranks
Sharpened the plain chisel to a very long edge to separate things that do not want to come apart.
Use the plennishing hammers & dollys to knock out mangled decks .
Had it for 20 years & never touched it till I started to fix mowers.

Absolutley, CAN NOT have enough tools......if you use tools to make a living!
I prefer MATCO but, that's just me!

Get some ear plugs. Use them. All that ringing and chirping I hear 24 hours a day.........

Make sure you learn quickly not to have your hand near the spring when using. Band Aids should be handy the first dozen times you use it, plus a good pair of gloves.

Thanks for the tips everyone, they will certainly be heeded.

And don't over oil it
Two drops once a week or so will be fine as the oil blows out all over the spring which gets slippery and cuts your fingers when changing tips

Always nice to get new toys...i mean tools. Especially with the word hammer in the name. May want to look into high flow connectors for it. Will make all the difference in the world.

As a retired 50+year body repair tech,from experience,I say NEVER use this air chisel without wearings gloves and ear protection! Your hands and ears will thank you!

Bert- You beat me to the "And don't over oil it"............

So a whole quart of 10W40 isn't a great idea? lol

If you were environmentally friendly you would use canola oil. LOL.

Actually you can not use veggie oil in an air hammer because they will grow bacteria and become very sticky .

At one time canola oil was used in food processong equipment because it was food safe (edible). They had to clean it all out every day or it went bad. At one time california wanted to pass a law chainsaw bar oil had to be non toxic. Guys tried canola oil. Not good.

Yep,
Got some "earth mothers" who use veggie oil in their chains saws
I have to soak the chains & bar in kerro every time I try to sharpen the blade.
Veggie oil + saw dust + bacteria have been know to start fires during hot weather .

veggie oil for bar oil... wow.

I don't have any customers using veggie oil but i do have some who use old motor oil for bar oil. Saws are a F######g mess when they come in. Clogged oil pickup filters, worn bars and stretched chains but to them it works fine. Can't figure out why a guy puts used motor oil in a $1000 chainsaw when bar oil is $6 a gallon.

Yep,
Got some of them to contend with as well
Good thing is Sydney is fairly close to LA weather wise so the chain saws don't get all that much use.
