The typical air hammer has little power, a short stroke, and a bazillion blows-per-minute. They make a lot of noise, and little progress unless you're using them to slice exhaust tubing, or cut sheet-metal.
Good air hammers have more power, longer strokes, but sacrifice the number of blows-per-minutes. They make even more noise, but actually get the job done IF they're supplied with adequate air volume and pressure.

Thanks. The air hammer I bought is a 4” stroke and cost about $225. I avoided the $39 model figuring it for garbage. My compressor should be adequate for short bursts, 25 gallons or so. If I had more room I’d get a 60 gallon and that’ll happen after my garage addition.
