Ingersoll Rand 180PG Pneumatic Needle Scaler is designed for heavy-duty surface preparation applications where reliable impact performance is required to remove rust, scale, coatings, and other unwanted material from metal surfaces. Featuring 2,200 blows per minute, a 1.54" stroke length, and a 1.125" bore, this pistol-grip needle scaler provides controlled pneumatic impact action for industrial maintenance, repair, fabrication, and construction applications.
The pistol-grip design of the 180PG provides a comfortable operating configuration for extended surface preparation tasks. Its 1.54" stroke length allows extended needle movement during each impact cycle, while the 2,200 BPM impact rate delivers repeated striking action to help break away corrosion, scale, and surface buildup from metal components, weld areas, and equipment surfaces.
