Built for surface preparation, weld cleanup, and scale removal, the Cleco B1-C-PT is a push-pull start chisel scaler from the B1 Series that delivers 4,600 BPM for fast, repeated striking action on rust, paint, weld spatter, slag, and hardened deposits. Its 1.1" stroke gives the chisel controlled impact travel for chipping and scaling work, while the 1/2" square stock configuration supports compatible chisel tooling for focused material removal.
The push-pull start design allows the tool to activate when the chisel is pressed into the workpiece, which helps simplify tool control during intermittent scaling and chipping tasks. A steel housing gives the B1-C-PT a durable body for jobsite, shop, and maintenance use where the tool may be exposed to abrasive debris, repeated handling, and tough surface-cleaning environments.

Tech Tip: To increase tool performance, extend tool life, and lessen repair costs, use it with a Filter-Regulator-Lubricator FRL)
Applications:
- Welding and fabrication shops — removing slag, weld spatter, scale, and surface contamination before finishing or inspection.
- Industrial maintenance and MRO — chipping buildup from equipment, brackets, machinery bases, guards, and metal structures.
- Construction and repair work — cleaning rusted steel, preparing surfaces, and removing hardened deposits in field service settings.
- Foundry and metalworking environments — knocking off scale, sand, flash, and residue from metal parts where compatible chisels are used.
- Garage and restoration work — removing rust, old coating, and stubborn surface buildup from metal components when an air compressor is available.
FAQs:
- Q: What is a push-pull start chisel scaler?
A: A push-pull start chisel scaler activates when the chisel is pressed against the work surface. This makes it useful for intermittent scaling, chipping, and surface prep tasks where the operator starts and stops frequently. - Q: What does 4,600 BPM mean?
A: BPM stands for blows per minute. On this tool, 4,600 BPM means the scaler delivers rapid repeated impacts to help break loose rust, scale, slag, and similar material. - Q: What is the difference between a chisel scaler and a needle scaler?
A: A chisel scaler uses a single chisel to concentrate impact force in a smaller contact area. A needle scaler uses multiple needles to cover uneven surfaces and broader areas. - Q: What chisels fit the Cleco B1-C-PT?
A: The provided product data lists 1/2" square stock. Use only compatible 1/2" square stock chisel accessories approved for this tool style and application. - Q: Can this tool remove paint and rust?
A: Yes, it can be used for paint, rust, scale, and buildup removal on suitable metal surfaces. Always test on the workpiece first and use proper eye, face, hearing, and hand protection.
