Abstract
A muffler for a fluid-activated, percussive, impact apparatus includes a hollow, elongated shell, forming a closed exhaust chamber, extending lengthwise along a body of the apparatus, the shell partially encircling the body of the apparatus. The shell is removably attached to the body of the apparatus so that an inlet aperture in the shell coincides with an exhaust port of the apparatus. An adjustable deflector is positioned on the outlet aperture of the shell. The shell is provided from a flexible, plastic material.
