Ingersoll Rand Tool Hoist 318-B Air Vertical Polisher

Product Description

The INGERSOLL RAND TOOL HOIST 318-B is a pneumatic vertical polisher and buffer designed for professional surface finishing work. Running at 2000 RPM with 1 HP of output, it accepts a 7-inch pad and delivers consistent power for buffing and polishing paint, metal, and plastic surfaces to a high-gloss finish. The tool weighs 4.5 pounds, making it manageable during extended use on vertical and overhead surfaces. A side handle exhaust directs air and debris away from the work area, keeping the surface clean and the technician focused. Auto body technicians, fleet maintenance crews, and industrial finishers are the primary users of this tool.

The 318-B is suited for automotive refinishing shops, metal fabrication environments, and industrial maintenance settings where surface preparation and final finishing are routine tasks. Its lightweight construction reduces operator fatigue during longer polishing runs on hoods, panels, tanks, and structural components. The tool connects to a standard shop air supply and requires no electrical outlet, which simplifies use in mobile or confined-space applications.
