Heavy-Duty & Industrial-Grade Scalers

Scalers are percussive tools that deliver a rapid, light blow for surface preparation involving removal of unwanted material without deforming metal surfaces. This unwanted material could be scale, rust, paint, weld, splatter, or various other materials on top of the desired parent material. Needle scalers and chisel scalers are the perfect tool when dealing with irregular surfaces.

Air needle scalers and air chisel scalers are the lightest hitting of all percussive tools, relative to jackhammers. With air scalers, you want to determine the type of cleaning to be done and discuss whether to utilize needles or chisels with the tool.

Air scalers do not have enough energy to dig into, gouge, or cut into the parent material. Scalers are a good cleaning tool and work well in a maintenance shop that has overall facility responsibility.
