Ingersoll Rand has expanded its MAX family of air tools with two new vibration-reduced air hammers, the 118MAX long barrel and the 122MAX short barrel.

Ingersoll Rand has expanded its MAX family of air tools with two new vibration-reduced air hammers, the 118MAX long barrel and the 122MAX short barrel.

“Ingersoll Rand is excited to introduce the 118MAX and 122MAX vibration-reduced air hammers to the MAX family lineup,” said Nate Schmid, marketing manager for Vehicle Services with Ingersoll Rand. “There’s a lot of innovation built into the new MAX air hammers, and the increased power coupled with significantly reduced vibration and noise during operation is definitely going to change the way technicians work.”

The new air hammers feature an anti-vibration design that reduces tool vibration by 30%, says the company, when compared to standard air hammers in its class. Noise output is reduced by up to 3 dBA as compared to standard air hammers, and the tool has been equipped with an improved ergonomic grip to provide additional comfort during extended use.

Designed with high-volume fabrication and prep work in mind, the tool features a new quick-change retainer that reduces wear, and allows for faster chisel changeovers for increased Articleivity. In addition, each of the tools is offered in a kit that includes a blow-molded case and five-piece chisel set (models 118MAXK and 122MAXK).
