The Novatek 28PG is the heavy-duty pistol grip needle scaler in Novatek's standard line. A larger piston drives twenty-eight 3mm x 7" chisel tip needles at 2200 blows per minute, a harder stroke than the 19-needle tools, for thick paint systems, pack rust, scale and concrete buildup on steel and masonry.
It weighs 8.3 lbs as a needle scaler and draws 7.5 cfm. The same body also comes as a chisel scaler with a 1/2" square holder, or as the Super Scraper chisel scaler with a 5/8" hex holder that accepts long reach chisels and scraper heads. Two kits bundle the needle scaler with spare parts and a chisel setup.
Features
28 Needles at 2200 bpm
A wide bundle of 3mm x 7" chisel tip needles and a heavy stroke clear large areas of thick coating faster than the lighter scalers.
Three Working Setups
Run needles, a 1/2" square chisel holder or a 5/8" hex chisel holder on one body, switched with a single cap head screw.
5/8" Hex Super Scraper Option
The hex holder takes 1", 2" and 4" hex chisels and the 4", 8" and 12" long reach scraper heads for tile and mastic.
Pistol Grip Control
The rubber pistol grip and lever throttle keep heavy work manageable on vertical and overhead steel.
Needle Size Choice
Matching holders take 65 x 2mm or 19 x 4mm needles in place of the standard 3mm bundle.
Runs on 7.5 cfm
Air demand stays within reach of a portable compressor at 90 psi.
