Many of the same features of the CP 1230 and CP 1240 were rolled into the CP 1260 and CP 1290, respectively.

Chicago Pneumatic Construction Equipment offers the CP1260 and CP 1290 handheld pneumatic breakers. The breakers offer the same quality and versatility as previous pneumatic breaker models, but with updated features, more power, and a sleek, ergonomic look, according to the manufacturer.

Known globally for their high-impact technology and durability, many of the same features of the CP 1230 and CP 1240 were rolled into the CP 1260 and CP 1290, respectively. Offering a variety of sizes, there is a CP pneumatic breaker option for every application.

“The CP handheld pneumatic breakers have traditionally delivered an efficient and powerful solution for any demolition application,” said Gus Armbruster, product manager of pneumatic tools. “The CP 1260 and CP 1290 have carried through the important features of previous models, but have incorporated a number of features new to the handheld line.”

The list of added features include; ergonomically designed handles to reduce operator fatigue, a streamlined, flatter profile for improved operator visibility, and new durable polyurethane front head springs that reduce wear and extend the life of the breaker and its internal components.

In addition to various innovative features, the CP 1260 and CP 1290 offer even more power than previous models.

“The CP 1260 and CP 1290 have enough power to make them an ideal solution for a variety of applications,” said Armbruster. “By improving upon past models versus starting from square one, we are able to provide truly versatile, powerful, and efficient tools.”

Another key feature of the CP 1260 and CP 1290 breakers is that many of the components are compatible with previous generations of pneumatic breakers, so that if a problem should arise with the new equipment, repairs can be made quickly and easily.
