OverviewAdding an Aluminum Extension Pipe to EXAIR's Soft Grip Safety Air Gun improves access to deep machine cavities and elevated areas. The ergonomic Soft Grip design reduces operator fatigue for extended use and features a large trigger operable with one or more fingers. The durable cast aluminum body includes a hanger hook for convenient storage. When fitted with EXAIR engineered nozzles, these guns minimize compressed air consumption, comply with OSHA pressure standard 1910.242(b) and remain under OSHA noise limits (29 CFR 1910.95(a)). Optional chip shields increase operator protection.
