OverviewEXAIR's Soft Grip Safety Air Gun is designed for extended industrial use with an ergonomic handle, a large trigger operable with one or more fingers, a durable cast-aluminum body and a hanger hook for storage. EXAIR-engineered nozzles minimize compressed air use, comply with OSHA pressure standard 1910.242(b) and keep noise under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.95(a) limits. Standard stainless steel nozzle included; aluminum and PEEK options available.
