Ingersoll Rand 170PG Pneumatic Needle Scaler is designed for heavy-duty surface preparation applications where efficient removal of rust, scale, paint, and other surface contaminants is required. Featuring 3,000 blows per minute, a 1.4" stroke length, and a 0.925" bore, this pneumatic needle scaler delivers powerful impact action for industrial maintenance, repair, fabrication, and construction surface-cleaning tasks.
The 170PG uses a pistol-grip configuration that provides a comfortable operating position for extended surface preparation work. Its 1.4" stroke length allows substantial needle travel during each impact cycle, while the 3,000 BPM impact rate provides repeated striking action to help remove stubborn buildup from metal surfaces, weld areas, and equipment components.
