Chisels, Needle Scalers & Scabblers

Chisels, needle scalers, and scabblers are purpose-built surface-prep tools for heavy-duty removal of rust, mill scale, coatings, cement laitance, and stubborn weld spatter. Chisels deliver concentrated percussive force for spot chipping, groove cutting, and concrete demolition; needle scalers use multiple spring-mounted needles to rapidly knock loose rust and old paint over large areas; and scabblers provide high-impact, multi-point percussion for aggressive surface profiling and concrete removal.

When all the tools are used together, these versatile tools speed prep for painting, coating, weld grinding, and concrete repair while avoiding excessive substrate damage when used correctly. Select tools by application: choose needle scalers for broad-area de-scaling, chisels for focused cutting and demolition, and scabblers when rapid, uniform surface profiling is required. Key specs include impact frequency/stroke rate, stroke length, needle count and diameter, chisel bit dimensions and material, air consumption (CFM) and operating pressure, vibration ratings, and duty cycle.
