Mechanic Air Tools And Heavy Duty Pneumatic Tools
Mechanics looking for a heavy duty pneumatic tool will find the 4980 a reliable option for repetitive impact work.

Routine upkeep—such as inline lubrication and inspection of chisel retention—helps extend service life. Its construction supports heavy use in professional workshops, from suspension and frame work to stubborn fastener removal and demolition tasks where controlled impact is required.
Key considerations include compatibility with standard air compressors and fittings appropriate for mechanic air tools, using the correct chisels for each application, and observing standard shop safety practices when operating pneumatic impact equipment. The ASTRO PNEUMATIC TOOL CO. - ACH 4980 provides a balance of power and versatility for technicians who need a dependable air hammer in daily use.
