Nope 
Affordable is usually not high quality. The job they do and the abuse they take require quality forgings. I sold hundreds of them off the MAC truck. They were made by Mayhew. You do need a quick attach on the business end of the air chisel. You knew that though.
I agree. I may need to go through my snap on dealer.
No offense, we don't have a Mac dealer around here right now. LOL
Whatever comes along. I'm just tired of the bits spinning.
For an air hammer I believe. The grooves in the shank engage with the balls in the quick change coupler.
All automotive air hammer bits are round shank.
I can find butterfly style-
Air Chisel, Pneumatic Hammer, Pneumatic Hammer Shovel Tool for Welding Casting Sand Cleaning
Only about 30 bucks with the bit assortment.

Here's a gun style, but it's 91 bucks-
CP7111H .401'' AIR HAMMER HEX SHANK 8941071111
Name brand, though.

Probably not what Rob has. Those are for a specific job in industry.
There is no stepping outside the box. If he has a pistol style air hammer like auto machanics use, non turning bits are and have been available for them. I sold them for 28 years while in the tool business.
Depending on how big the job is ....go electric. I use a Bosch electric hammer drill with SDS-Plus shank - bits lock in place and don't spin.
My Makita Impact drills are much the same - and use the SDS bits also.
You can also get adaptor shanks for the different chucks.
I have a Snap On heavy duty long barrel air chisel. It has the spring retainer right now. I'm going to get a quick coupler for it. I wanted to get the non turning bits at the same time. I guess it's tome for the tool truck. lol
That's why we have thumbs. My CP zip gun snaps snap-on bits like pretzels. I buy the cheap stuff now. I hardly break them. It was the Snap-On dealers idea.
You have to have a quick-coupler w/the set screw as pic'd above, the chuck balls engage the round channels in the shoulder of the non-turning bits, which is in Rusty's plan....the set screw allows You to help dial in the rotation beyond chucking indexing.

Buy the coupler and try tacking a pin on an old chisel?
That's exactly how they work. If you know, you know. Your explanation makes more sense than mine but if you haven't seen them or used them you might not be able to get the jest of how they work.
