OverviewThese VariBlast® Precision Safety Air Gun models include Chip Shields. Longer Type 316 stainless steel extension pipes for hard-to-reach areas are available. The gun delivers variable force via a trigger valve for precise control: partially squeeze the trigger for low force or fully for maximum force. The high-impact acetal body is lightweight, ergonomic and compatible with multiple 1/8 NPT engineered nozzles.
