Chicago Pneumatic launches new handheld hydraulic tools – handy, portable and versatile

Chicago Pneumatic introduces its new line of hydraulic handheld tools. The line-up includes: petrol and diesel driven power packs, a 12 kg pick hammer, breakers ranging from 18-33 kg, a 14” and 16” cut-off saw, two sizes of core drills and submersible pumps.
Since 1901 Chicago Pneumatic has been well-known for its pneumatic tools, now also hydraulic-powered tools are available under the Chicago Pneumatic brand. Handheld hydraulics are the perfect choice for small, quick jobs. They are easy to transport - a power pack together with a breaker, or another tool depending on the job that needs to be done, are so small that they fit in the back of a van. The power packs are equipped with wheels and a foldable handle that make them handy to move around on worksites.
Another advantage with hydraulics is that they work in a closed circuit, preventing dust and dirt to enter the tools, and they are always lubricated. This leads to very low maintenance need. “The thermostatic controlled oil cooler gives fast warm-up and a correct working temperature within minutes. Thanks to this, you avoid freeze-up in the system – even during winter” says Jan Byrresen, Product Line manager, handheld hydraulic equipment.
