The APT 117 is a 30 lb-class pneumatic paving breaker built for sidewalk and curb concrete, light slab demolition, asphalt patching and utility trenching. It runs on 38 CFM of compressed air at 90 psi and delivers 1,850 blows per minute from a tool weighing just 33 lb among the lightest paving breakers Crowder Supply stocks, and a class contractors and rental fleets choose for all-day handheld work.

Air setup is conventional: a contractors air hose with crowsfoot fittings feeds the 3/8 NPT inlet, with an in-line lubricator keeping the motor oiled. Hex shank options of 7/8 x 3-1/4 in. and 1 x 4-1/4 in. let the 117 share steel with the rest of your fleet, and American Pneumatic Tools builds it in the United States with deep parts support across the APT paving breaker lineup.
