Ingersoll Rand 172L Inline Chisel Scaler is designed for pneumatic surface preparation applications requiring concentrated impact action for removing rust, scale, coatings, and other surface contaminants from metal components. Featuring 5,500 blows per minute, a 0.56" stroke length, and a 0.88" bore, this inline chisel scaler provides rapid impact performance for industrial maintenance, repair, construction, and fabrication applications.
The inline configuration provides a straight tool design that helps operators position the scaler effectively during surface cleaning and material removal tasks. Its 5,500 BPM impact rate delivers repeated striking action, while the 0.56" stroke length provides controlled chisel movement for removing surface buildup, corrosion, and other unwanted materials from metal surfaces.

FAQs:
- Q: What is the Ingersoll Rand 172L used for?
A: The 172L is an inline pneumatic chisel scaler designed for surface preparation, cleaning, and removal of rust, scale, coatings, and other unwanted material. - Q: What is the impact rate of the 172L chisel scaler?
A: The manufacturer specification lists the tool at 5,500 blows per minute. - Q: What does the 0.56" stroke length indicate?
A: Stroke length refers to the distance the chisel moves during each impact cycle. The 172L has a listed stroke length of 0.56". - Q: What is the difference between a chisel scaler and a needle scaler?
A: A chisel scaler uses a focused chisel-style cutting action for material removal, while a needle scaler uses multiple small needles to conform to irregular surfaces and remove surface contaminants. - Q: What should be checked before using the 172L?
A: Confirm that the compressed-air supply is suitable for the tool and select the appropriate chisel accessory for the intended material removal application.
