An air chisel is a pneumatic tool that uses compressed air to drive a chisel or other cutting attachment. It is commonly used in metalworking, automotive repair, and construction for tasks like cutting, shaping, or removing materials. The tool is lightweight and easy to handle, making it ideal for detailed work. Air chisels come with various attachments, including pointed chisels for precise cutting and flat chisels for broader applications. They are often used in conjunction with an air compressor, which provides the necessary power. Proper safety gear, such as goggles and gloves, is recommended when using an air chisel to prevent injuries.
