General-duty air hammer for light tasks
The Ingersoll/Rand 117 is a pistol-grip air hammer built for chipping, sheet-metal cutting, exhaust work, scraping and rivet or joint separation. It runs at 2000 blows per minute with a 3-1/2 in stroke and a .401 shank for standard chisels. A built-in regulator gives full control and the alloyed steel barrel with heat-treated piston extends service life.
Users needing moderate air consumption
Suits technicians who have a compressor delivering 3 CFM average and 14 CFM at full load through a 3/8 in hose at 90 psi. The 1/4 in air inlet and spring retainer keep setup simple for general maintenance or light construction. Not for shops that need higher blow rates, longer strokes or heavy-duty demolition capacity.
.401 shank compatibility decides fit
This tool accepts only .401 in shank chisels held by a coil-spring retainer. If your existing chisels use a different shank size or retainer style, they will not fit and the hammer cannot be used for the intended work.

Questions about this item
How often will the spring-type chisel retainer need replacement?
The coil spring retainer is a wear part; inspect it each time you change chisels and replace it if the spring no longer seats the .401 shank firmly.
Which air-supply limit appears first during continuous operation?
At full load the tool draws 14 CFM, so the compressor's ability to sustain that flow at 90 psi is the first bottleneck.
How loud and hot does the hammer get when run all day?
The alloyed steel barrel and heat-treated piston are designed for longer life, and the built-in regulator lets you throttle air volume to manage heat and noise during extended use.
