Description
The American Pneumatic Tools APT 263 is a 14 lb 2-bolt D-handle pneumatic chipping hammer with a 3 in. piston stroke, purpose-built for industrial scaling, chiseling, weld cleanup, and form stripping. Key specs include 1,650 BPM impact rate, 33-35 CFM consumption at 90 PSI, .580 in. hex or .680 in. round chuck options. Ironworkers, masons, refractory crews, and demolition contractors run the APT 263 for medium-duty chipping where heavier breakers cause operator fatigue.
- 2-Bolt drop-forged D-handle construction balances tool weight and rigidity for sustained overhead and one-handed scaling work.
- Rated 1,650 BPM, 3 in. stroke, 14 lb, 14-9/16 in. overall length for balanced impact across scaling, chiseling, and form-stripping work.
- Consumes 33-35 CFM at 90 PSI through a 7/8-24 thread air inlet, compatible with standard contractor whip hose and inline oilers.
- A 50-CFM compressor supports single-tool continuous use; larger 185-CFM units run multiple operators on the same circuit.
- Available with .580 in. hex or .680 in. round chuck plus ball, oval-collar, or bolt-on retainer styles to match existing steel inventory.
- Built for scaling slag and rust, weld-spatter cleanup, form stripping, refractory-lining repair, mortar removal, and detail chiseling.
- Ironworkers, masons, refractory crews, and demolition contractors specify it for medium-duty chipping where heavier breakers cause operator fatigue.
