Quick Change Adaptor for your Air Hammer

[@jessejaviangel]

Purchased my 1st air hammer last year and saw other air hammers with that spring retainer. Never new the difference. This video made me realize I made the right purchase. Thank you good sir. 👍

[@richardspaulding5035]

I love the new adaptor, attempting to change tool with the old spring retainer was a pain in the neck, Sorry I took so long to respond. Thanks for watching.

[@andrewesquivel]

Well thank you kindly for that demonstration. Showed me exactly what I wanted to know

[@richardspaulding5035]

glad I was of help, thanks for watching

[@pianobar7801]

Great review, thanks for posting.

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks for the kind words. This coupling is so much easier than struggling with the spring retainer that came with the air hammer. By the way I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for watching mine.

If you're removing tiles, off a small area on a concrete floor like a basement bathroom my Air hammer with a 1.5 chisel did the job great. (Safety Glasses are a Must) Thanks Richard.

[@richardspaulding5035]

always thanks

[@stanleykachuik2589]

Just got a long barrel by Air cat. It really brings the beans. Knocked out some rusty exhaust bolts in under 5 seconds.

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks very much, stanley. I had never heard of that. I am most certainly going to check it out

Your shadow at 2:08 reminds me of the old Alfred Hitchcock show intro lol. Looks alot like his shadow...lol

[@richardspaulding5035]

LOL my stomach is big enough anyway.

[@ABH313]

Awesome. Good upgrade

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks Alan; I hated dealing with those awful spring restrainers. This is a lot better.

[@lalotellez]

This video was so much help, thank you for posting.

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks Lalo; Those spring retainers were a pain. I would spend about 10 minutes every time I wanted to change chisels. I knew there had to be something better available. Thanks for watching

[@chriscramer3706]

How are the chisels supposed to return to the hamer repetitively without the spring?

[@richardspaulding5035]

I don't understand exactly how it works but that has not been an issue. Some how it does. Thanks for the question and watching. my channel.

[@mj-ls7qr8xp3n]

Thnx!! I have a Chicago pneumatic I want to sale, wasn't sure exactly what I had. Now I know I have three different sized ball joint removal tools!! ;);

[@richardspaulding5035]

LOL; I just reviewed the video and it was just by chance I selected that particular attachment to demonstrate. I am glad it was helpful. They call them pickle forks, You wrote you have 3, The larger ones are for ball joints and the smaller ones are for tie rod removal. I am glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching my channel.

[@princenoah21]

I got that exact same thing. I FUCKING love it!

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks, yea so much easier.

[@jeffclark5024]

The only problem with quick chucks is the hardened balls bet up the retainers on the bits. Probably not a big issue for occasional use though

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks Jeff; I have not noticed that however as you mention it, since my retirement as I now work out of my home shop I am indeed an occasional user. thanks for the information and thanks for watching my channel.

What is the smallest air compressor I can use to run such an air hammer? I have a 6 gallon pancake from Ridgid. Probably too small. Just want to try my luck though. Thanks!

[@richardspaulding5035]

Mine is a 30 gallon. Not sure how small you can go.

[@greod1006]

Not sure if you picked up an air hammer but I ran a small harbor freight air hammer with my old 6 gallon for a few years. It's definitely not optimal but you still get a few seconds of hitting in it. I also ran my bigger .498 air hammer on it but once again it only lasted a few seconds before it drained the entire compressor. I recently finally upgraded to a 6.2 scfm 30 gallon tank and it was certainly worth the money, but I'd run it on a 6 gallon again if necessary. Smaller .401 shanks like the one he has in the video run a little longer than a thirstier .498 shank.

[@lanajacknichols8397]

will this work on a dewalt electric hammer drill?

[@richardspaulding5035]

No, I do not believe it will.

[@jdw-616]

That spring you had on in the beginning, that is the spring to hold the chisel heads into place? I was so confused what it was for as mine came with a quick adapter as well........

[@richardspaulding5035]

The quick-change adaptor is a fairly recent innovation. The spring is indeed for holding in the chisel. When I started out as a young mechanic in the 1970s that was all that was available. It has always been a pain to switch chisels until this adaptor came along. Thanks, for watching.

[@unclepecos845]

Alfred Hitchcock shadow.

[@richardspaulding5035]

LOL, Thanks

[@agustinzavalza507]

A this coming and different size

[@richardspaulding5035]

I only have seen the one size.

[@JohnLee-ln6no]

From junky to special...

[@richardspaulding5035]

I am so happy I have found this attachment. Was a real pain changing chisels before.

[@Mobile-mechanicNM]

@@richardspaulding5035 wait til the chisel shank deforms after heavy use like knocking out seized torsion bars out then you can’t remove the chisel without pulling the quick change adapter and grinding the shank down to get past the 3 retaining balls, yesterday was the 3rd time in months I’ve had to do this so I’m thinking about buying the old spring style retainer

[@richardspaulding5035]

Thanks, I will watch for that. It has not happened as of yet. Now that I am retired, I am not a high-volume shop anymore so I don't expect that to happen as I only work on friends and family vehicles these days. Your comment will be very helpful to heavy users who are considering purchasing one.

[@therealjohnwick4010]

Is this usable for “Rivet Guns”

[@richardspaulding5035]

Not any rivet gun I have ever owned.
