Buy Air Guns Online in Australia
AIMS Industrial stocks 22 air gun products from Speed Tools, Retracta, Hansa and Trax — compressed-air tools that connect to your workshop air line to blow, wash, chisel, descale or spray. If you're after workshop cleaning guns, needle descalers, air chisel hammers or gravity-feed spray guns, you're in the right place. If you're after a pellet or BB air rifle, this isn't it — that's sporting goods, not workshop equipment, and we don't stock it. Our Air Tools & Pneumatic Tool Guide walks through the key differences if you're comparing options.
Our range covers air blow guns for clearing swarf, dust and chips off machined parts and bench surfaces; an air wash gun for solvent cleaning of components; needle descalers and air chisel hammers for stripping rust, scale, weld spatter and paint; a 3/4" air impact wrench kit; and gravity-feed spray guns (plus spare pots) for touch-up and production painting. Everything below reflects what we actually stock — no filler.

The Air Guns Range at AIMS
Air Blow Guns
For general workshop cleaning we stock the Speed Tools stainless steel air gun, the Retracta aluminium air blow gun kit, the Retracta 100mm adjustable flow blow gun (RA-AGP) for jobs needing variable air volume, the Hansa HBG air blow gun and the Trax ARX-2007 air blow gun. For tighter spots there's the Trax ARX-ADG4N 4" air duster blow gun cleaner, and the Trax ARX-2007K Wonder Gun Kit bundles a blow gun with chiselling and cleaning attachments in one kit.
Air Wash Gun
The Hansa HWG-1 air wash gun has an integral aluminium bottle that holds cleaning solvent, atomising it with compressed air for degreasing engine bays, machined parts and greasy components.
Needle Descalers
The Trax ARX-JI24 (4000 BPM) and Trax ARX-1110 (3700 BPM, medium duty) needle descalers use a bundle of reciprocating hardened-steel needles to strip rust, mill scale, weld spatter and old paint from steel — quicker than hand wire brushing on pitted or uneven surfaces, and gentler on the base metal than aggressive grinding.
Air Chisel Hammers
The Trax ARX-715R (round shank) and Trax ARX-715H (hex shank) long air chisel hammers take standard chisel and scraper attachments for cutting bolts, removing welds, chipping rust and breaking seized panels.
Air Impact Wrench Kit
The Trax ARX-1134K 3/4" impact gun kit is included in this range for workshops after a heavy-duty air-driven wrench alongside their cleaning and prep tools. For the full impact wrench line-up by drive size, see our air impact wrenches collection.
Air Engine Cleaning Gun
The Trax ARX-HY191 0.7L air engine cleaning gun mixes solvent with compressed air for degreasing engines and greasy mechanical components in the workshop or service bay.
Gravity-Feed Spray Guns & Spare Pots
Our Trax gravity-feed spray guns cover three nozzle sizes: the ARX-FR200 (0.8mm) for fine touch-up work, the ARX-FR100 (1.6mm) for general touch-up spraying, and the ARX-FR107 (2.0mm) for heavier coatings. We also stock matching spare pots — ARX-FR200P, ARX-FR107P, ARX-FR102P, ARX-FR100P and ARX-FR77P — so you can keep a second pot loaded with a different colour or coating and swap over without stripping the gun down mid-job.
Choosing the Right Air Gun for the Job
Match the tool to the task, not the other way around:
- Clearing swarf, dust or chips — a standard air blow gun. Go adjustable-flow (RA-AGP) if you need to dial back the force for delicate parts, or the 4" duster if you're reaching into cabinets and enclosures.
- Degreasing engines or oily components — the air wash gun or engine cleaning gun, both of which meter solvent through the air stream rather than relying on air alone.
- Stripping rust, scale or weld spatter — a needle descaler for pitted or uneven surfaces, an air chisel hammer for heavier removal work, welds and seized fasteners.
- Touch-up or production painting — a gravity-feed spray gun sized to the job: 0.8mm for fine touch-up, 1.6mm for general work, 2.0mm for heavier coatings. Keep a spare pot on hand for fast colour changes.
Whatever you're driving, check your compressor can keep up. Blow guns and dusters are relatively light on air; needle descalers, chisel hammers and especially spray guns used continuously will pull more — undersize the compressor and you'll get a stuttering trigger or a patchy spray finish. If you're unsure what your existing compressor can support, give our team a call before you buy.
Compressed Air Safety When Using Air Guns
Compressed air is genuinely dangerous if it's misused, and the risk is easy to underestimate because the tools look harmless. Safe Work Australia's own guidance on compressed air is direct: it advises against using compressed air for cleaning at all where a safer method is available, and where air must be used, to run it at low pressure, wear eye protection, and never direct it at yourself or anyone else — compressed air can penetrate skin and cause serious injury, and it can also propel dust and debris into eyes at damaging speed.
You may see blow guns marketed as "OSHA-compliant" with a 30 psi limit on dead-ended (blocked-nozzle) pressure — that's a specific US workplace standard (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.242(b)), not an Australian one. There's no equivalent numeric limit set in Australian WHS law; the general duty of care under the model WHS Act and Safe Work Australia's low-pressure, PPE-first guidance is what actually applies here. A diffused or vented nozzle tip is still good practice regardless of which standard you're citing, since it reduces the risk of a blocked nozzle building dangerous pressure.
Practical points for the tools in this range:
- Wear eye protection any time you're blowing, chiselling or descaling — see our eye protection range.
- Never use a blow gun to clean clothing or skin, or to move debris toward another person.
- Needle descalers and air chisel hammers throw debris — clear the area and consider a barrier or screen for anyone working nearby.
- When spraying solvents or paint, work in a ventilated area and check the coating manufacturer's own PPE and ventilation requirements.
- Bleed and depressurise air lines before changing nozzles, tips or attachments.
Industries and Applications
These tools turn up wherever there's a compressed air line and parts that need cleaning, stripping or finishing: engineering and machine shops clearing swarf off freshly machined parts; automotive and panel repair shops descaling, chiselling and touch-up spraying; fabrication and welding bays cleaning weld spatter and prepping surfaces; maintenance teams degreasing and cleaning plant and equipment; and any workshop that just needs a reliable blow gun on the end of the air hose for general bench cleanup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between an air blow gun and an air duster gun?
They do the same basic job — directing compressed air to clear dust and debris — but a duster gun typically has a narrower, more precise nozzle (like the Trax ARX-ADG4N 4") for reaching into cabinets, enclosures and tight gaps, where a standard blow gun is built for broader, higher-volume cleanup on benches and machined parts.
Q: Are these air guns pellet or BB guns?
No. Everything in this collection is a compressed-air workshop tool — blow guns, wash guns, descalers, chisel hammers, an impact wrench kit and spray guns — that connects to your air line via a standard fitting. We don't sell pellet, BB or airsoft guns.
Q: What pressure should I run a blow gun at?
Safe Work Australia's guidance is to use the lowest pressure that gets the job done and to never direct compressed air at yourself or anyone else. There's no single Australian numeric limit for blow gun pressure — some markets use a 30 psi dead-end limit (a US OSHA rule), but the applicable Australian requirement is the general duty of care under WHS law plus Safe Work Australia's low-pressure, PPE-first guidance.
Q: Can I use a blow gun to clean myself or my clothes?
No. Compressed air can penetrate skin and cause serious injury, and directing it at loose clothing or hair is a recognised safety hazard. Use a vacuum, brush, or dedicated clothes-cleaning method instead.
Q: What's a needle descaler used for?
Needle descalers use a bundle of reciprocating hardened-steel needles to strip rust, mill scale, weld spatter and old paint from steel surfaces. They're faster than hand wire brushing and better suited to pitted, uneven or heavily corroded surfaces than a grinder, without removing as much sound base metal.
Q: What nozzle size spray gun should I use for touch-up painting?
For fine touch-up and small-area repair, a smaller nozzle like the 0.8mm ARX-FR200 gives finer atomisation and control. For general touch-up spraying, 1.6mm (ARX-FR100) is a common middle ground. For heavier or thicker coatings, step up to 2.0mm (ARX-FR107). Always check the coating manufacturer's recommended nozzle size too.
Q: Do I need a special compressor for a spray gun?
Spray guns generally use more air than a blow gun, and running one on an undersized compressor produces inconsistent atomisation and a patchy finish. Check your compressor's continuous air delivery against the spray gun manufacturer's requirements before buying — if you're not sure, call us and we'll help you match the two.
Q: What's included in the Trax Wonder Gun Kit?
The ARX-2007K Wonder Gun Kit combines an air blow gun body with interchangeable chiselling and cleaning attachments, giving you blow, clean and light chiselling function from one kit rather than buying separate tools.
Q: Can I use one air gun for both cleaning and painting?
No — keep them separate. A blow gun or duster used for general cleaning will have dust and oil residue in it that will contaminate a spray gun and ruin your paint finish. Keep a dedicated spray gun for coatings and use your blow gun for everything else.
Q: What shank size do the Trax air chisel hammers take?
We stock both round shank (ARX-715R, 10.2mm) and hex shank (ARX-715H, 11mm) versions, so check which shank profile matches the chisel and scraper attachments you already own before ordering.
Q: Do you sell spare pots separately for the Trax spray guns?
Yes — we stock spare pots for the FR200, FR107, FR102, FR100 and FR77 spray gun models, so you can keep a second pot loaded with a different colour or coating ready to swap in.
Q: Is AIMS Industrial an Australian business?
Yes — AIMS Industrial is Australian-owned, based in Sydney, with a supporting team in Manila. We hold local stock and supply tradespeople, engineers and maintenance and procurement teams across Australian industry.
