Professional Air Hammers & Accessories
Le Lematec air hammer accessories are built for demanding automotive, industrial, and maintenance applications. From chisel bits and needle scaler attachments to retainers and spring kits, every component is precision-engineered for maximum impact performance and durability.
Why Choose Pneumatic Air Hammers?
Air hammers deliver rapid, high-impact blows powered by compressed air — making them indispensable for rust removal, rivet cutting, panel work, exhaust system repair, and heavy-duty chipping. Unlike electric alternatives, pneumatic air hammers never overheat during extended use, provide consistent power output, and weigh significantly less for reduced operator fatigue.
Air Hammer Applications
Our air hammer tools and accessories handle a wide range of tasks: removing rusted bolts and seized fasteners, cutting sheet metal and rivets, breaking up concrete and mortar, cleaning welds and casting flash, separating ball joints and tie rod ends, and installing panel pins and trim fasteners. The versatility of an air hammer makes it one of the most-used tools in any professional shop.
Choosing the Right Chisel Bit
Different jobs require different chisel profiles. Round chisels excel at rivet removal and weld cleaning. Flat chisels handle gasket scraping and general chipping. Cutting chisels slice through sheet metal and exhaust pipes. Panel cutters make precision cuts in body panels. Our chisel bits use hardened chrome vanadium steel with .401 shanks that fit all standard air hammers.
Air Hammer Compressor Requirements
Most standard air hammers require 3-4 CFM at 90 PSI for optimal performance. A 20-gallon or larger tank compressor is recommended for continuous use. For the full CFM and PSI requirements of all our pneumatic tools, see our CFM & PSI Requirements Chart.
Frequently Asked Questions
What shank size do your air hammer bits use?
All Le Lematec air hammer chisels and accessories use the industry-standard .401 (10.2mm) shank, compatible with air hammers from LE LEMATEC, Ingersoll Rand, Chicago Pneumatic, Snap-on, Matco, and most other professional brands.
What's the difference between a spring retainer and quick-change retainer?
A spring retainer uses a coiled spring to hold the chisel bit — more secure but slower to swap bits. A quick-change retainer uses a pull-collar mechanism for tool-free bit changes in seconds. Choose quick-change if you frequently switch between chisel types during a job.
Can I use these chisels with any brand of air hammer?
Yes. The .401 shank is the universal standard for full-size air hammers. Our chisels and retainers fit all major brands. The only exception is mini air hammers, which typically use a smaller shank size.
