An air hammer is a pneumatic tool that uses compressed air to deliver rapid, powerful blows. It is commonly used in construction and metalworking for tasks such as chiseling, cutting, and shaping materials. The tool operates by converting air pressure into mechanical energy, allowing it to perform heavy-duty work efficiently. Air hammers come with various attachments, such as chisels and punches, to suit different applications. They are often used in conjunction with other tools like air compressors to provide the necessary air supply. Due to their effectiveness, air hammers are popular among mechanics and contractors for both industrial and DIY projects.
