The Chicago Pneumatic CP 0222 is a compact pneumatic clay digger often called a trench digger for cutting packed clay, soil and hardpan in trenching and tunneling work. Light weight and a short body make it easy to control in horizontal digging under slabs and foundations, and a high power-to-weight ratio keeps it productive through extended periods of rugged use with minimal servicing between rebuilds.

The CP 0222 comes equipped with a latch retainer, so spades and steels swap in seconds; the sharpened end of the system lives in our paving breaker & clay digger blade tools. Its running mate, the CP 0111, covers the same trenching duty, both belong to the CP clay & trench digger family, and light-demolition alternatives are weighed in choosing a concrete breaking tool.

What steel does the CP 0222 take?
It comes equipped with a latch retainer, so spades and steels with the matching shank swap in seconds from the paving breaker and clay digger blade tool range.

Can I dig under an existing slab with it?
