Surface scale, rust, and old coatings can slow workshop preparation work considerably. The PCL APT561 is a pneumatic needle scaler designed for surface preparation in workshops and paint shops, delivering 4,600 blows per minute through hardened, self-adjusting needles.
The APT561 features a straight handle configuration and hardened self-adjusting needles that maintain consistent contact across irregular surfaces without manual intervention. At 2.6 kg (per brand specification), the tool balances output with operator handling over extended use.
The scaler requires a minimum hose size of 3/8 in (10 mm) and connects via a 1/4" air inlet, with an air consumption of 6.6 cfm (186 l/min). Overall length is 416 mm. The vibration figure from brand specification is 6.67 m/s²; sound output is 85.5 dBa per brand data. These figures are relevant to workplace exposure assessments under PUWER and the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations.
PCL has manufactured air tools in Sheffield since 1938 and is part of HORNGROUP.
