outstanding value,

July 9, 2007

By dogman

"I recently purchased two of your needle guns. One as a back-up. However after almost thirty hrs. of usage the first needle gun is still going strong and should finish the job of scaling off globs of rust from a decorative iron fence. It has easily taken off old primer, paint and rust down to bare metal. I never expected such a quality product for the price. If it's bare metal your looking for, then this is the tool. Thank-you for delivering such an outstanding product!"

Needle Scaler,

November 2, 2009

By DanofGuam

from Barrigada, Guam USA

"As a wholesale/retail store, I have to purchase the best for my money. Which also means that the customer won't be coming back with complaints that would get costly for me to handle. Northern Industrials Air Needle Scaler 15763 meets all the criteria that my customers demand. I have never had a single scaler come back as defective in all the years I've been selling them."

Air Needle Scaler,

July 20, 2009

By nahte2003

from Houston Area

"I bought a needle scaler last week and I consider it one of my best tools after using it. I restore tractors and equipment as a hobby and part-time business. I used this scaler on an old work tractor and in about 4-6 hours time I had all the rust and old paint removed. This job usually took me 3-4 days the way I used to do it. Most of the metal was ready to prime after I used the scaler. I wished I had discovered this tool years ago. When I have rust or paint removal from now on, I am reaching for my Northern Needle Scaler to do the job. You can adjust the amount of air right at the tool for hard or soft needle impact. It does a great job at a right price. Thank you Northern Tool."

Am I using this wrong?,

May 4, 2009

By JoeNJ

from NJ

"This tool does a great job but it didn't last long for me. It doesn't require a high CFM and you can get into nooks and crannies with it pretty well. Removing paint from aluminum, the first attachment lasted 6 hours and the second one lasted 8 hours. I'm surprised that someone has used one for over 30 hours. How do you make the scaler attachments last that long? My pistons loosen up and the needles fall out in one day. Also, I couldn't get the second scaler attachment off to replace it with a third one.
When it's working, it's one of the most useful tools that I have.
I'm very satisfied with the service from Northern Tool. Wish you had a store near me."

surprisingly great tool,

April 13, 2009

By metaleugene

from northwest Arkansas

"I have been working with metal for over 15 years, and I can't believe this is the first time I have ever got my hands on a needle scaler! I bought it for busting the slag off the welds on a large steel building skeleton I have been building (about 120 pounds of 7018 rods burned so far). This tool works great! It makes a god-awful noise, but ears can be protected while it does its magic."
