Astro Tools 498K 0.498" Shank Thor Air Hammer/Riveter.

My new favorite air chisel! (I have several) Got the quick change chuck and bits from AP at the same time. Hits hard, but is controllable, great for suspension and heavier items, definitely not a toy like those other ones!

My first review was banned, not allowed because of the profanity, just buy it, it will ____ everything it needs to, the .498 bits will get ____'d, so buy surplus, have bench grinder ready for custom bits from the ____ening. Clean the ____ and swarf leftover in the barrel from the machine process with brake cleaner and wd40 or equivalent BEFORE USE, make sure to humm it out goodlike. i cant be ___'d using hammer these days, this unit saves my shoulder and elbows and time. our shop runs aprox 160 psi shop pressure, with more then likely inadequate li nes,3/8. ear protection = must,eye protection = must, hand protection.. up to you but i have had .498 bits sheer off into my hands...it gets it done. Just buy it.

Thor hits like a champ, well not when I first received it, I didn’t want to return it or send it for the warranty repairs and not have a tool for a month or even a week, I needed to use it with in a couple of days of receiving it, I had some ball joints and wheel bearings I needed to bust out, so I emailed them and got a response next day, by the falling day and a couple of emails with a video I got a call from one of their technicians who walked me through it, it was a very simple repair, the hammer was assembled too tight I took it apart lubed it real good with some air tool oil reassembled it and it’s been working like a champ every time I used it, I have 3 air hammers now 1 very small assembled from 2 different air hammers hits fairly week but good for very tight spaces and once in a blue moon, my second one it my go to for all kinds of medium to heavy work including some tie rods but not all because those things can be really stuck, and now I have Thor, I’m yet to test it against a co-workers Snap on or any other tool truck air hammer including IR, with that said I have used it on every ball joint, wheel hub, tie rod rod end, bolts, nuts, I’ve only had it for a few months now but it’s been awesome, and loud, I can use other air hammers for a quick 123 hit with out ear plugs and not have any issues, but this guy is no joke I tried it once and stopped and find me some hearing protection. So far it’s been very much worth the price, it has paid for it self.

Sehr schnelle Lieferung.

I don't write very many reviews but I had to make an exception on this one I had read other reviews about how great air chisel this was and was skeptical as I'm sure most people are about things online. But this thing is an absolute Beast, I mean it is as tough as people say it is an absolute monster it cuts half inch bolts off in several hits. I have never had an air chisel with any type of real power more of a hard vibration with some of the other crap on the market. This thing I will not disappoint it's worth the extra money and make sure you get the right chisels for it because they are the larger diameter and it is necessary for the power that it has. I'm super satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anybody who has ever tried be arrested parts and bearings and hubs and crap that seem like you just can't get them to move this thing will put you in a different category as far as having the right tools for the job
