Clay find someone who needs a rear wheel bearing done on a Ford Explorer. That will be a real test for these air hammers lol

[EVILVIKTOR]

Contact Project Farm. He'll make a test jig for it.

Thanks Clay. I have bought one as I am DIY kinda guy and can’t justify paying $$$ for something I might use on occasion. I have been pretty happy with the performance of the Chief. Keep ip the great vids.

Awesome. I got the Chief air hammer about 2 months ago and have used it almost daily since. Working in Wisconsin it gets put through its paces. Hasnt been stopped by a seized in hub assembly or brake rotor so far!

[zbrown]

Use it for 6 months and give us an update how you like compared to the snap on that’s a real test I would say

I had the chief long barrel and I just returned it today. I had 2 of them in just over a year. It hits hard but after 8 months both just stopped working. So I went to matcos newest long barrel.

I have that snap on air hammer and it is hands down my favorite tool in my box. When nothing else works, I grab the snappy. Love that vids Clay keep it up❤️

[GHohn]

I just got the Chief hammer. It broke two different chisels the first time I used it. It’s a beast, it should probably not be on the .401 shank, but should be .498 instead.😊

If you really want to give it a good torture test, go to the closest concrete plant, and let the drivers clean the mixer trucks with them.

The matco air hammer is the I have that same snappy air hammer and my coworkers matco air hammer always out performs be traiding it soon. I'd also like a big nasty....

I've had my 3050 for 18-19 years and have beat the tar out of ...finally had to replace a trigger seal last year

[oldman]

Great video I have a buddy that has a earth quake impact that is like 8 years old and it will not die rusted hub bolts do not faze it. Like you said HF is stepping up there game. 🔧🔧🔧🔧

I use the Chief air hammer professionally and it's a absolute beast! I also own the Chief reversible cut-off tool and it's a beast too lol!! You can also still use the 20% coupon on the Chief line.

I had a PH2052 since 1997 it still strong as ever. I've so used many times for the real test was losesening ball joint using a pickle of fork and low speed control to loosen striped dome shape allen bolts !! Precion Speed control is key to nothing beats a snap on !!

We were trying to drive out kingpins from the forklift at work... using heat and good old hammer and punch, wasn't budging those kingpins... I recommend the chief air hammer to the boss man so he sent me to go grab one.. the price went up to $139 and Harbor freight didn't have any accessories (hammer, chisel). Ended up getting an 8 inch hammer bit from Matco. I'll tell you, this chief air hammer is a beast !! It took a little bit of time but it drove them kingpins out 👍👍 for the price, compared to snap on.. can't be beat.. another great tool from Harbor Freight!!

[robertzerafa]

Great test Clay but I think it would be a lot more fair if you used two new chisels instead of using it on the snapon then the harbour freight. I am sure when you cut off the first bolt it would of blunted the chisel a little. But great show as always 👏👌👍

[ericracette]

This was my idea ! for the price i guess you cant go wrong. I have the mac long barrel and compared to my buddys snap on it hits a little harder and less vibration it has like a little air cushion or something like that . Anyways great video !!

[bigrigtruckrepairmobileser]

Answers my questions thanks Clay. Thought about a big nasty but the chuck shank is different & I've wondered about that cheif considering it's from Harbor freight. But wow, for the money I don't think you'd go wrong

[putergd]

TTC just tested the Chief, new Aircat, new Thor, and Snap-On and the Chief was pretty much dead last in that group. Performance per dollar, sure. But the Snap-On is made in USA, which is worth a lot to me.

[josephriddle]

MAC and Big Nasty i like most, and of course Snappy, ill have to look into the Chief Clay, thx's for bring this new hammer to my attention and realy good straight down to earth video, 🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧
