Pneumatic Chipping Hammers
Pneumatic Chipping Hammers
Pneumatic chipping hammers chip concrete, remove scale and slag, and break out mortar in foundry, fabrication, and masonry work. Every hammer in this collection is from the Jet JCT-36 series. They differ in three ways: stroke length of 2, 3, or 4 inches, a round or hex shank, and an open handle or 4-bolt design. Ten models cover those options, from the 2-inch round shank JCT-3640 to the 4-inch hex shank JCT-3623.
What to Look For
- Stroke length. A longer stroke hits harder for heavy chipping. A shorter stroke gives more control for finer work.
- Shank type. Buy the round or hex shank that matches the chisels you use.
- Handle design. Open handle and 4-bolt versions are both listed. Choose the one that suits your grip and maintenance routine.
- Air supply. Size your compressor and hose for continuous hammering.

Pneumatic Chipping Hammers FAQ
Chipping hammer or needle scaler?
A chipping hammer drives a single chisel to break material away. A needle scaler uses a bundle of needles to clean rust, scale, and paint off uneven surfaces. Many shops use both.
Which stroke length should I choose?
Choose a 4-inch stroke for heavy concrete and casting cleanup. Choose a 2-inch or 3-inch stroke for weld slag, light scaling, and work where control matters more than force.
