The CP 1290 is the heaviest hand-held paving breaker Chicago Pneumatic makes a 90 lb-class pneumatic tool for full-section concrete, pile-cap demolition, full-depth highway asphalt and rebar-reinforced bridge-deck work. It delivers 1,150 BPM on 81 CFM at 90 psi through a 3/4 NPT inlet, with the standard D-handle version weighing 82 lb at 29 in. overall and a latch retainer holding the steel.

Silenced (S) trims run 83 lb for noise-restricted demolition, and SVR versions add a silenced, vibration-reduced handle at 96 lb for production shifts. Chucks in 1-1/8 x 6 in. and 1-1/4 x 6 in. hex take heavy steels from our points & chisels selection; an 81 CFM draw calls for a properly sized machine from our gas-driven air compressors. The rest of the Chicago Pneumatic breakers cover the 30-60 lb classes.
