A balancer takes the weight of a suspended tool so the operator guides it rather than holding it up. Over a shift that is the difference between a tool that can be used continuously and one that cannot, and it is why balancers are specified by the weight of the tool rather than by anything about the work.
The tool weight has to fall inside the band the balancer covers. Below the band the balancer pulls the tool up out of the way; above it, the tool sinks. Neither is usable, so the band is matched to the tool as weighed with its socket or accessory fitted rather than to the bare figure. Chicago Pneumatic run the CP99 series across the bands with several units at each weight.
Reactionless means the balancer holds the tool at whatever height it is left rather than retracting it. A spring balancer that pulls back needs the operator to fight it down to the work every time, which reintroduces the effort the balancer was meant to remove. That is why the reactionless description appears on every unit here rather than on a premium subset.
The bands here run 1-2kg, 2-3kg, 2-4kg, 4-6kg, 6-8kg and 8-10kg with a 5kg unit alongside, and they overlap deliberately so a tool near a boundary can sit in the middle of a band rather than at its edge. Questions go over WhatsApp on 07754288583 with the tool weight.
