The automotive industry was one of the first industries to see the advantage of air-powered tools. Today they’re known as the tools of the professional auto body/painter technician.
Although electric drills, wrenches, grinders, polishers, drill presses and heat guns are found in body and refining shops, the use of pneumatic tools is a great deal more common. Air tools have four major advantages over electrically powered equipment
Flexibility Air tools run cooler and have the advantage of variable speed and torque, damage from overload or stalling is also eliminated. They can fit in tight spaces.
Safety Pneumatic tools reduce the danger of fire in some environments where the sparking of electric power tools can be a problem. Air tools also don’t use electricity, so the danger of electrocution is reduced.
Light Weight Air tools are lighter in weight and lend themselves to a higher rate of production with less fatigue.
Low cost operation and maintenance Due to fewer parts, air tools require fewer repairs and less preventive maintenance. The original cost of air powered tools is usually less than the equivalent electric type.
There are air tools for nearly every electrically powered tool, from sanders to drills, grinders, impact wrenches and screwdrivers. Find the right air tools at AirTool Direct, leading industrial & light industrial air tool & compressors provider.
