Pneumatic Excavation


Have you used one of the air powered tools ( soil pick, air knife) that uses high volume high speed air to dig dirt.

Re: Pneumatic Excavation


Yeah. The air knife works well though it's a really dirty job. Gotta' wear gloves, goggles, etc. Perfect for uncovering cables, copper, etc.
