Don't know about you Ned, but I was always taught to never operate an air hammer without placing it against the "work". Over the years the spring has been know to fail and the chisel end becomes a projectile.
he was by himself in his house so no biggie. sometimes with the quick change chuck "dry firing" it can get the bits stuck and deform the chuck. but its his tool so who cares really lol. I appreciate the video man, its a super simple tool buts its good info to see. may help me one day. I thought mine was broken the other day and i realized the main collar/retainer cap thing was just loose. one twist and I was back in business. wasn't too bright about it because I worked for like 2 hours before i even addressed the problem, been a while since i used it and couldn't remember if it was always that way or not haha. The DeWalt air chisel is an absolute disgrace, don't ever buy it if you value your money or sanity. The 8 dollar ones from Walmart are legitimately better.
