Pro-source 5580006745PRO Air Pistol Grip Needle Scaler

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 5580006745PRO is a pneumatic pistol grip needle scaler designed for surface preparation work including rust removal, mill scale stripping, weld spatter cleanup, and paint stripping on metal surfaces. Powered by compressed air at 90 psi and consuming 4.0 SCFM, it delivers 3,000 blows per minute through a bundle of 3mm diameter needles with a 1.33-inch stroke. The 1/4-inch NPT inlet connects to standard shop air lines. At 6 pounds, it is substantial enough for sustained use while remaining manageable during overhead or vertical work. This tool is installed and operated by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, ironworkers, and industrial contractors performing surface prep prior to coating or welding.

This needle scaler is suited for industrial and commercial applications where surface contamination must be removed from steel, iron, and structural metal before painting, galvanizing, or welding. Typical use scenarios include shipyard maintenance, structural steel fabrication, pipeline work, and heavy equipment refurbishment. The pistol grip handle provides control during detail work on irregular surfaces and tight profiles where rotary tools cannot reach effectively. It is compatible with standard compressed air systems found in shops and on job sites.

Key Features

• 3,000 blows per minute for aggressive surface material removal
• 3mm needle diameter suited for detailed and contoured surface work
• 1.33-inch stroke length for effective penetration into pitted or corroded surfaces
• 1/4-inch NPT air inlet compatible with standard shop fittings
• Operates at 90 psi with 4.0 SCFM air consumption
• Pistol grip handle for controlled single-hand operation

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard compressed air systems supplying 90 psi and at least 4.0 SCFM through a 1/4-inch NPT connection. Suitable as a replacement or additional pneumatic needle scaler for general industrial surface preparation applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed or qualified pneumatic tool technician or maintenance professional should connect and operate this scaler. Before attaching or removing the tool, shut off the air supply and bleed the line of residual pressure. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection and appropriate gloves during operation, as needles and dislodged debris travel at high velocity. Ensure the air supply line and fittings are rated for the operating pressure before use.
