Product Overview:
Description
Clean old metal without the need for potentially harmful solvents with these with the Rockwood Pistol Grip Needle Scaler. They work fast on heavy rust, scale and caked-on grime removal from most heavy-duty steel or cast iron frames and components. How does a needle scaler work? It has a hard-hitting 1-11/16-inch (43mm) stroke with 6-inch (150mm) chisel fingers for maximum effectiveness. Speed is easily controlled with an infinitely progressive, rotating knob control that reaches up to 4,500 beats per minute.
Air needle scalers are an essential shop tool for restorations and are also commonly used to preserve and refurbish ships. They remove rust and scale quickly without letting the grime collect in hard-to-reach areas like solvents do. With an air scaler, you’ll have the clean surfaces you need to weld, prime and paint.

Questions & Answers
In one of the questions you state there are no replacement needles for this tool, yet in the frequently purchased Column you offer replacement needles. Are they available or not? I would like to purchase it but not if I can’t get needle replacements,
Will this damage sheet metal? I'm considering it to remove undercoating on the hood underside bracing so that I can repaint the bottom to match the body color
Is this tool safe enough to remove undercoating on a floor pan?
Anyone know how it works for welding applications? Up to 1"?
I purchased one of these from you. After about 20 minutes of use it now just passes air through the tool with no vibration to the needles. Am I missing something or is this thing defective? My old scaler began doing the same after years of use.
How many needles are used in this design of tool. It's a common features listing, but don't see that info. Looks like it will get into tight spots, but does not indicate total length. Others type are inline type, impossible for tight locations. Thanks.
Is this tool good for removing paint in corners on an automobile?
What is the warranty on this item? Not clear, is this an Eastwood item or Rockwood? Who is Rockwood?
