Chicago Pneumatic 8941172014 Pneumatic Polisher 3 in

Product Description

The CHICAGO PNEUMATIC 8941172014 is a handheld pneumatic polisher designed for surface finishing and polishing tasks in professional shop and field environments. Powered by compressed air, this tool delivers 0.25 hp and spins at 2,500 RPM with a 3-inch pad diameter, making it well-suited for detail work on metal, painted surfaces, and composites. Air consumption runs at 18 SCFM, so adequate compressor capacity is required for sustained use. The tool connects via a 1/4-inch air inlet and accepts accessories on a 1/4-20 spindle thread. It is intended for use by auto body technicians, fabricators, and maintenance professionals who need a compact, air-driven finishing tool.

This polisher fits into light-duty to mid-range finishing applications where a small pad footprint and low weight reduce operator fatigue during extended use. The 3-inch pad size is appropriate for contoured panels, tight radii, and spot-finishing work. The exhaust vents through the handle to direct airflow away from the work surface and operator. It is suited for both shop bench work and on-vehicle or on-equipment service scenarios.
