Lock Technology AirStrike Bi-Direct Air-Hammer/Puller Tool (955AH)

The Lock Technology AirStrike Bi-Direct Air-Hammer/Puller Tool (955AH) is a professional-grade pneumatic tool engineered to simplify and accelerate a variety of mechanical and industrial tasks. It innovatively combines the power of an air hammer with the function of a pneumatic puller into a single, highly efficient device. This two-in-one capability makes it a superior alternative to traditional manual methods, saving time and physical effort on the job. The tool is designed for precision, control, and versatility, making it an essential addition to any professional's toolkit for tasks ranging from automotive repair to heavy equipment maintenance.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Bi-Directional Functionality: This tool's primary advantage is its ability to perform two distinct functions—powerful hammering and controlled pulling—simply by adding a piston air lock cylinder. This eliminates the need for multiple single-purpose tools, streamlining your workflow.
• High-Impact Performance: Delivering up to 3,000 blows per minute (BPM), the AirStrike provides the significant force required to break loose even the most stubborn components, such as seized bolts, bushings, and bearings.
• Adjustable Power and Precision: Equipped with a 1/4" NPT adjustable brass air flow regulator, the tool allows you to fine-tune the percussive force. This control is crucial for preventing damage to sensitive components and achieving a more accurate strike.
• Enhanced Safety and Efficiency: The tool’s lightweight design and one-handed operation free up your other hand to secure components or provide stability, improving control and safety during high-force applications.
• Versatile Applications: The 955AH is suitable for a wide range of jobs, including the removal of seals, diesel injectors, axles, and harmonic balancers. It can also be used for dent pulling and working with various specialized kits.

HOW TO USE:

As an Air Hammer:

1. Connect the tool to your air compressor using a 3/8" hose and ensure the air pressure is set to 90 PSI.
2. Attach the appropriate hammer bit or chisel to the quick-release chuck.
3. Use the adjustable brass air flow regulator to set the desired power level for your task.
4. Position the tool against the surface you wish to strike and depress the trigger to begin hammering.

As a Puller:

1. Ensure the tool is disconnected from the air supply.
2. Attach the piston air lock cylinder to the front of the tool, converting it to the pulling function.
3. Connect the appropriate pulling tip or accessory, such as an extension bar, to the cylinder.
4. Securely attach the puller assembly to the component you need to remove (e.g., a seal or bearing).
5. Reconnect the air supply and use the trigger to generate the powerful pulling force to extract the component.

BENEFITS OF USING THE LOCK TECHNOLOGY AIRSTRIKE BI-DIRECT AIR-HAMMER/PULLER TOOL (955AH):

• Increased Efficiency: Its dual-function design saves time by eliminating the need to switch between different tools for hammering and pulling tasks.
• Reduced Physical Strain: The pneumatic power does the hard work for you, minimizing the manual effort and fatigue associated with traditional slide hammers.
• Improved Accuracy: The adjustable regulator and fine-tuned control allow for precise application of force, reducing the risk of damaging surrounding components.
