Why Air Tools?

Power:

Air impact wrenches can produce over 1,000 ft. lbs. of torque. Grinders can spin at 60,000 RPMs. Electric counterparts cannot produce this type of power.

Durability:

Air tools do not burn up or overload when put under excessive load. If an air tool stalls due to binding, the motor simply does not spin. The windings do not become hot, internal parts do not melt. If the air motor stalls, that's it.

Flexibility:

Air tools run off of stored energy generated by a compressor. With an engine driven compressor or a carry tank, air tools can go anywhere. Electric tools must operate near a power outlet.

Lightweight and Compact Size:

The average air tool weighs 20% less than its electric equivalent. Electric windings, rotors and stators outweigh a simple air cylinder and motor by considerable amounts. After only a short time, the weight of a tool really becomes noticeable.

Low cost of operation and maintenance:

Simply put, fewer parts means less maintenance. Add a filter and lubricator in your airline and you will have tools that last twice as long as the electric equivalent.

Variety:

Ratchets, impact wrenches, chisels and nailers are common air tools that are rarely seen as electric equivalents. This is because air is an efficient way to transfer energy in certain applications. It takes four times as long to remove a lug nut with an electric impact wrench than with an air impact wrench.
