After receiving many messages asking me if "BIG NASTY" is really as good as I say it is I decided to make this short video. The Astro 4980 is indeed the nastiest air hammer I have ever used. I have both MAC Tools and Snap-On long barrel air hammer. They do not even compare to the power of this this beast!

    I picked one up for my shop. Got to use it today. Wow. Extreme violence. Threw out my old harbor freight. This baby earned its spot in the tool box. Wow

    Proof is in the Putin?

    I will never forget the first time time I used a cp 717.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alton Rowell says:

    I use a cp 717

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bind the Devil Loose The Angels says:

    I showed this video to my Snapon rep today he didn't say much. Other than the "specs are basically the same"

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jim's videos says:

    In fairness the swivel joint didn't do the Snap-On one any favours.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Scott Osborn says:

    I just purchased one of the 4980s for my son who is a diesel mechanic . Thanks for doing this video, it helped me decide which way to go in the air hammer selection process.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Martin says:

    Is the quick attachment sold separately, I imagine it is.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jerseyhighlander says:

    What's the deal? NOBODY has this in stock anymore? Is it made in China & caught in the import clog????

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Yuri Shepherd says:

    could someone use a rotary hammer instead of an air hammer?
    looking to make my first purchase and leaning electric bc I have the batter packs

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vance Duke says:

    i just spent all day pressing one out. wtf!!!

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars chris ferebee says:

    I know this is an old video but what kind of air compressor would you recommend to use with BIG NASTY?

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Digitalphantom01 says:

    So… anyone want to buy an old clapped out snap-on air hammer. Needs a good home ๐Ÿ˜‰

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jonny Snipes says:

    Do they have a cordless battery version of that?

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gordon Richardson says:

    Congrats on your custom 498K edition!

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Troy shuler says:

    Do you run big nasty on a regulated air source?

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Megalocade says:

    I bought one of those astros a while back and it's incredible.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars WhalerGA says:

    Big Nasty is just begging for a song to be written about it.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gizzy guzzi says:

    That snap on polisher loosened it up for you.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Marr says:

    Yeah. Snap-on is too expensive and less power. My $140 air hammer can do better than that snap on. At least, you got a better air hammer for cheap.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars UpNorth says:

    Better even when you ran the compressor down with the snap on to the point it kicked on and it still took it out.

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jordan Hager says:

    Went to buy one on amazon after this and see your video on the listing. That's pretty cool

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vlad C says:

    So considered getting the big nasty but the snap on guy gave me the ph3050b for $275 which I could not pass up and traded my old ingersol. The snap on air hammer does not have the same power that even my ingersol had.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jhitt79 says:

    I can hear all the snap-on guys crying all the from my house.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars griff Hall says:

    Big NASTYYYYY FOR THE WIN..
    I'M TOOLING UP BECAUSE OF E.O AND ASTRO

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Janet Pandolfi says:

    I want to buy a big nasty but where do I get the quick connect at I can't find it any where??? Thanks Eric! can you post a link?

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Cohen says:

    you can't fool me that Snapon loosened it up so big nasty could finish it up

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mark hilliker says:

    Ok Iโ€™ll be buying one. Not the first video of big nastey ive seen. But the time has come.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lovetolearn 52 says:

    Proof's in the pudding lol. I thought that's what he said

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Norbert H says:

    what about Ingersoll Rand 121 is this any good for a .401 hammer ??

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joshua Doe says:

    Hey, I'm wondering if you have another link to the hammer bit? I cant find the astro one, is there another brand youd recommend? Thanks! Love the videos

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rohksie says:

    Best tool review ever.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Olavi says:

    I'm in love <3 That is next tool I buy.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CHOSENITE COMMUNISM says:

    Apples and oranges unless both hammers are brand new. Ridiculous

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jpierro officers says:

    What about Ingersoll rand air hammer? Mine out performs snap on. Have you tried that one?

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D Pyles says:

    'nuff said!

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fabian Padilla says:

    I love the Aka big nasty๐Ÿ˜œ

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars a tribute to Yeah, Sure says:

    The wife keeps one in her nightstand.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aldo Bacallao says:

    All hail Big Nasty.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rsx123 says:

    Sold.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 707SonomaComa says:

    Did you put on a different chuck?
    Is this the same as the Chicago Pneumatic CP 717 Super Duty air hammer?

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bobsteroid says:

    And note the use of ear muffs, kids…

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ryan MacEwen says:

    What's the bit holder you have on that baby?

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frederick Rassmann says:

    i'm sold

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chad Boling says:

    I bought big nasty but I am having trouble finding the quick retainer and bits for the .498 shank, where did you get yours?

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Haywood says:

    Well, got the Ingersoll Rand 122maxk. It's the poor mans Big Nasty. 150 bucks. Knocks out a ball joint, and knocks one back in.(used a large long socket and the air hammer to bang it back in, easily)

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sbaileyrph says:

    What pressure do you use for the Big Nasty air hammer? Wandering if my little residential compressor will have what it takes. I can't really find specs on minimum requirements.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! Stefan Czechorski DDS says:

    aka the CP 717 , thank you for the vid!

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Em Jay says:

    Matco 2816 is pretty strong as well
