Chicago Pneumatic CP 0012 Chipping Hammer: High-Frequency Precision, Light-Duty Agility

When industrial alteration, restoration, or surface detailing requires a surgical touch rather than raw, ground-shattering force, the Chicago Pneumatic CP 0012 Chipping Hammer Series is the premier choice. Weighing in at a highly nimble 12 lb. class, the CP 0012 is the lightest chipper in the entire Chicago Pneumatic lineup, designed specifically to bridge the gap between heavy scaling tools and awkward full-sized construction hammers.

Engineered with a high-velocity 2-inch cylinder stroke generating 2,600 BPM (Blows Per Minute), this tool optimizes percussive impact frequency over raw weight. The result is a highly controllable, ultra-precise chipping action that allows operators to easily work on vertical, curved, or overhead planes without experiencing rapid arm and back fatigue.

Compact Engineering: Core Features

Don’t let its light footprint fool you; the CP 0012 inherits the exact same industrial-grade resilience as CP’s heaviest paving breakers:

• Optimum Power-to-Weight Ratio: Delivers maximum hitting frequency with minimal tool mass, giving operators the upper hand during extended precision tasks.
• Hardened Steel Cylinder & Handle: The entire tool chassis is precision heat-treated and forged from high-alloy steel, allowing it to easily survive grit, drop impacts, and abrasive worksites.
• Standard Factory Muffler: Comes equipped with an integrated exhaust muffler wrapper that significantly dampens tool noise, protecting hearing and complying with indoor or urban noise restrictions.
• Teasing Throttle: Features a highly progressive, sensitive trigger layout that lets the user slowly ease the tool to full power, ensuring the chisel doesn’t skate or ruin delicate masonry profiles on the initial strike.
• Straightforward Mechanical Layout: Stripped of unnecessary complexity, the tool’s internal design allows for effortless field maintenance and rapid, tool-free cleaning.

Choose Your Chuck: Model Customization

The CP 0012 platform is available in two distinct variations to match your specific tool-holding preferences and accessory shapes:

1. CP 0012 2R (.680″ Round Chuck)

The CP 0012 2R features a .680-inch round bushing architecture. This setup allows the round-shank chisel steel to rotate freely inside the nose chunk as you shift your posture, making it the perfect choice for carving smoothly around circular pipes, masonry arcs, or uneven casting molds.

• Part Number: 8900000102
• Best For: Welding slag contouring, masonry restoration, and tank descaling.

2. CP 0012 2H (.580″ Hexagonal Chuck)

The CP 0012 2H is built with a rigid .580-inch hexagonal bushing system. This profile completely locks hex-shank chisels into a single, fixed alignment, preventing the steel from twisting under heavy pressure.

• Part Number: 8900000103
• Best For: Directional grooving, clean masonry joint channeling, and vertical form stripping.

Technical Specifications

Primary Applications

Ergonomic Control: The classic closed “D” handle shape pairs with a protected inside trigger configuration. This safety-first design prevents the tool from accidentally firing when rested against structural frames or dropped on a floor panel.

• Welding & Fabrication: Rapid removal of tough weld slag, cleaning up surface spatter along heavy side-welds, and preparing structural joints.
• Concrete & Construction: Stripping residual concrete from metal or wooden forms, precision trimming around plumbing cutouts, and light overhead scaling.
• Masonry & Refractory Maintenance: Clearing out old mortar joints, shaping decorative brick/stone, and patching or replacing worn refractory furnace linings.
• Industrial Refurbishing: Clearing thick rust scale, peeling industrial paint layers from steel structures, and cleaning machine foundations.

The Chicago Pneumatic CP 0012 Series hands your crew the ideal balance of featherlight manipulation and high-impact speed. It’s the ultimate professional choice for projects where finish quality and physical accuracy matter just as much as getting the job done.
