A needle scaler is an air tool, much like a mini-jack hammer. It works with a similar action; except, instead of a single chisel bit, there are nine, one-eighth inch diameter steel rods that protrude out of the barrel. These extend out about ten inches and are independant of each other. There are several models, some with a pistol grip, some straight. I use an Ingersol straight barrel. The entire unit is about 22 or so inches long. Prices range from about $100 to over $ 300, depending on the control options and quality. Held at an angle to the workpiece, the vibrating needles "peal" off heavy rust or multilayers of paint and debris. Held at 90 degrees, it pulverizes paint and does not have the tendency to score if one develops a touch. It is very efficient and quick with no dust floating around compared to sanding or blasting, no mess compared to paint remover and no little steel wires flying around compared to high-speed wire brushes. Even more impressive is it's ability to get into impossible areas to clean. The needles will slide into small recesses that nothing else would get to. I use it also to clean metal stock prior to welding and to remove slag and drip after welding. The needles last nearly forever, but are replaceable and can be reground flat if they round out. I run off a small 5 hp shop compressor at about 125 psi. If you work on old farm machinery, you need one.
