  1. Air Tools and Their Applications Air tools have been around since the early 1800s and have now developed a huge demand all over the world. Air tools are mostly used in automobile manufacturing and repairing but they are gradually entering new industries as well. Air tools, also known as pneumatic tools, have a different working mechanism as compared to other electric tools. As evident from the name, the air is heavily involved in the operations of air tools. Air tools perform the operation by using compressed air or compressed carbon dioxide instead of electricity. Let’s take a closer look at some uses of air tools and what makes them different? Air Tools Vs. Electric Tools The majority of ​air tools​ use compressed air to power up their motors. This means you don’t need a continuous power supply to keep air tools working. Unlike electric tools, air tools are much safer to use and maintain. With electric tools, there is always a risk of a short circuit or even electrocution. Air tools also minimize the risk of getting jammed or overloaded. One more benefit of air tools is the power to weight ratio. Compared to electric tools, air tools have a higher power to weight ratio. This allows the user to generate high power without having to use a heavier tool. Another advantage of air tools over electric tools is the price. Air tools are almost ⅔ of the price of their electric counterparts. However, it is not all good news. One disadvantage of air tools is the constant maintenance they need. Since there is no lubricant involved, air tools need regular oiling to prevent rusting. The continuous attachment of an air compressor affects the portability of the tools too. You also need to drain and lubricate the compressor as well. Applications We talked about air tools, their history, and how they compare to the traditional electric tools. Now, we look into the uses of air tools. Nowadays air tools are being used everywhere; from Individual households to big manufacturing industries. Here, we will talk about their uses in a household. Following is a list of air tools uses that: ● Nail guns. ● Drills. ● Sandblaster guns. ● Paintbrushes. ● Impact wrenches. ● Tire inflators.

  2. For the DIY-ers, these tools are a must-have. With a nail gun, you can easily put a nail anywhere without hurting your fingers. You can easily open screws in tight spaces because you don’t need to rotate the air-powered impact wrench. The one air tool that should be in every household is a tire inflator. You never know when the air pressure of your car tires get low. With a tire inflator at home, you don’t need to worry about that. Another great air tool is a sandblaster gun. Using a sandblaster gun, you can easily clean inaccessible and tight spaces and get rid of any dirt or sand. Conclusion All-in-all, air tools have several household applications. If you like to do minor works and repairs of household items yourself, air tools are a must-have nowadays. It’s time to move on from those heavy and traditional tools and switch to the latest technology of air tools.
