The APT 140 is a 40 lb-class pneumatic paving breaker that contractors and rental fleets run for road repair, sidewalk and slab demolition, asphalt removal and utility-trench break-out. On 48 CFM of compressed air at 90 psi through a 1/2 NPT inlet, it strikes 1,500 blows per minute a quick mid-weight option in the paving breakers & jackhammers category.

Its single 1 x 4-1/4 in. hex shank matches the most common paving-breaker steel size, and an optional AirGo back-head reduces vibration on long shifts. American Pneumatic Tools builds the 140 in the United States alongside the rest of the APT breaker family, with parts and service kits stocked. New to breakers?
