Chicago Pneumatic has introduced a new low vibration hammer that is ideal for everyday general mechanic and bodyshop use. It is available in two versions the CP7160 and CP7165, with both offering improved operator comfort and power, so operators can complete the task quickly and efficiently and reduce the risk of long-term injury. 

Designed with an air cushion to reduce vibration CP7160 (4.37 m/s2) and CP7165 (3.26 m/s2) these hammer’s vibration is lower thanks to the inclusion of the vibration damped valve which creates the air cushion and thus minimizes shock. They are also well balanced as the handle isn’t positioned right at the back of the tool, and so easily rests in the operator’s hand. As a result, it is more comfortable and less fatiguing to use than other tools in its class. The back of the tool has a covered rubber grip to prevent slipping from the hand in situations when they may become coated with dirt or oil.

The tools offer plenty of power with the CP7160 delivering 8 Joules and the CP7615 with 11 Joules. The user simply selects the required power for the application thanks to the ease of use adjuster positioned at the bottom of the handle. Between the two models there are four settings: CP7160 (between 36% and 100% power) and CP7165 (between 73% and 100%) Furthermore, the hammer is lightweight and durable thanks to an aluminium motor housing and metal damped valve, that is more robust than a composite type. As such, the tool easily withstands the typical vigour’s of a workshop and provides reliable use over its service life. The tools are ideal for everyday disassembly tasks including rivets, and welding joints.
