The American Pneumatic Tools APT 263 is a 14 lb 2-bolt D-handle pneumatic chipping hammer with a 3 in. piston stroke, purpose-built for industrial scaling, chiseling, weld cleanup, and form stripping. Key specs include 1,650 BPM impact rate, 33-35 CFM consumption at 90 PSI, .580 in. hex or .680 in. round chuck options. Ironworkers, masons, refractory crews, and demolition contractors run the APT 263 for medium-duty chipping where heavier breakers cause operator fatigue.
- 2-Bolt drop-forged D-handle construction balances tool weight and rigidity for sustained overhead and one-handed scaling work.
