The Texas Pneumatic TX1B chisel scaler is a USA-made pneumatic scaler that strips rust, paint, weld slag and heavy scale from steel and concrete. The TX1B platform runs 4,600 BPM from a 1 in. bore and 1-1/8 in. stroke on 12 CFM at 90 psi, and the tool converts completely between chisel and needle scaler configurations, so one body covers flat-blade stripping and contour-following needle work.
Lever throttle, push throttle and long reach versions are stocked, with tens of thousands of these tools proven in the field across de-rusting, weld joint peening, casting cleanup, barnacle removal and chipping on stone, concrete and brick. If needle work is the primary job, start with the TX1B needle scaler; the heavier TX2 long reach scaler brings a 2 in. stroke for thick scale. Both belong to the full scaler range Crowder Supply keeps on the shelf.

TX1B Chisel Scaler FAQ
Chisel scaler or needle scaler which do I need?
Chisel blades strip flat steel and concrete fast; needles automatically follow irregular contours like pitted plate, welds and castings. The TX1B converts completely between the two, so you can start with either configuration and add the other later.
How much air does the TX1B use?
Just 12 CFM at 90 psi through a 1/4 NPT inlet with a 3/8 in. minimum hose small enough for a modest shop compressor to run all day.
Where is the TX1B made, and what other scalers pair with it?
Texas Pneumatic builds the TX1B in the USA, with tens of thousands proven in the field. It sits at the light end of the Texas Pneumatic scaler line; the TX2 long reach model steps up to a 2 in. stroke for thick scale.
