General pneumatic tools

As such, it is best for large-scale jobs that you need to finish quickly yet efficiently. Compared to an electric die grinder, this tool can provide more torque and higher RPM. Plus, this type of air tool has a budget-friendly price tag. Like all air-powered tools, a pneumatic die grinder is noisy.

Another drawback of this versatile tool is limited reach. Remember, you need to connect it to an air compressor. So, it can only reach areas that the hose permits. A pneumatic blower is one of the most versatile and commonly used air tools.

It is used to produce airflow at very high pressure. To be specific, it is used when you need a large volume of constant airflow. Some examples of these tasks are cleaning, ventilation, drying, dust control, material transportation, and cooling. Compared to a fan, an air blower provides a direct airflow to a specific area. It works by sucking air through its top or side.

From there, it will trap the air and shoot the air out in a strong and focused manner. One of the most common applications of a pneumatic blower is dust control. Although you can use a brush to clean the dust and debris on your machine, its reach is limited. With a pneumatic blower, this problem is solved.

All you need to do is turn it on, and it will clear all the dust and debris quickly. Unfortunately, metal is not like a piece of paper that you can tear apart easily. Pneumatic or air shears are made to cut plastic and metal sheets. If you use this tool, you can finish your task quickly and smoothly.

Plus, most pneumatic shears are designed to be lightweight. As such, you can use this tool for a long period without getting tired. Additionally, you can use this tool to cut curves, but it is not as efficient as an air nibbler. Nonetheless, pneumatic shears are best for heavy-duty cutting tasks. As time goes on, metals will be covered with barnacles, mill scale, rust, or soot. A needle scaler can efficiently clean any metal surfaces in a matter of seconds because it has fine chisels needles that quickly move back and forth.

For pneumatic models, the movement of the needles is caused by compressed air. Compared to other scaling tools, a pneumatic needle scaler can adjust its needles to contours, making it an excellent tool for cleaning irregular metal surfaces. However, this type of air tool is expensive.

Aside from that, it is a bit loud because of the air compressor. A saw is essential in furniture making and construction. However, using this tool is an arduous and time-consuming process. Remember, you need to swing your arm up and down when sawing, then repeat the process until you cut the board to your desired size.

Using a pneumatic reciprocating saw can save you a lot of time and energy because it can cut lumber quickly. Plus, this tool allows you to maintain a straight line, resulting in an evenly cut wood with fine edges. Aside from that, this tool can be used for heavy-duty jobs, such as cutting metal, steel pipes, fiberglass, and tiles. For this reason, you can use this tool for an extended period. A pneumatic riveter is a common tool in the automotive and aerospace industries.

It is used to attach rivets quickly and efficiently with less effort. Plus, using this air tool is simple. All you have to do is place the rivet, then insert the tool into the hole. After you press the trigger, the compressed air will propel the rivet into place. Although a pneumatic riveter is lightweight and easy to use, you need to connect it to an air compressor.

As such, a downside for this air tool is a limited reach because you can only go as far as the hose will allow. Air nailers are tools that can drive nails into wood or other materials using pressurized air. These powerful devices can help you finish heavy-duty tasks quickly and with ease. As you know, nails come in various sizes, and they have a specific purpose. For example, a brad nail is used to attach thin trims, boards, and moldings. Remember, these delicate materials may crack if you use larger nails.

For this reason, you need small and unnoticeable nails, like a brad nail. With a brad nailer, you can attach delicate materials without using a putty or a sealant. Additionally, it is capable of driving brad nails in a matter of seconds. However, this type of air tool is only suitable for lightweight boards, trims, or moldings.

You can use a regular hammer for big nails; however, it can be troublesome and time-consuming. For instance, you may end up bending the nail or damaging the board if you use a regular hammer.

These common problems can be solved with a pneumatic framing nailer. A pneumatic framing nailer uses pressurized air to drive big nails into the wood. As a powerful tool, it can send the nail straight to the wood in a matter of seconds, enabling you to complete heavy-duty nailing tasks as quickly as possible. A pneumatic staple gun is like a gun with a trigger and cartridge. It is often used to attach materials that can be easily dislodged if you use a nail.

These tasks include house wrap, insulation, and engineered flooring or hardwood flooring underlayment. Like other types of air tools, a pneumatic staple gun uses compressed air to drive the staples into a plank of wood or any hard surfaces without causing damage.

Plus, it is easy to use, and it will allow you to complete your task faster than a manual or electric staple gun. A bonus is that using compressed air is cheaper than electricity or gas. Also known as an air chisel, an air hammer is typically used to cut metals and carve stones.

Aside from that, this powerful tool is designed to accept different attachments. As such, you can also use it for various applications, including flattening or shaping metals, wood and stone chiseling, and tile or cement removal.

An air hammer uses compressed air to operate; thus, it can break things with ease. Additionally, this air tool will allow you to finish your task faster than other tools. However, it is pricier than its counterparts.

Sanding is one of the most tedious and exhausting tasks in construction and woodworking. Fortunately, pneumatic sanders are now widely available on the market. A pneumatic sander is powered by compressed air, and it is used to make metal or wood surfaces smooth. Drilling a hole may seem like a simple task; however, there are some instances when you end drilling a crooked hole, compromising the whole project. The tooling is organized and shipped in an attractive custom fitted box.

The Model A is a lightweight single cylinder alligator type tool designed for applications requiring special access. The A can be fitted with interchangeable jaws. It is powerful, easy to handle and comfortable to use. In many applications this is the ideal tool.

Jaws are interchangeable with the A. The A alligator type employs a twin tandem cylinder for added power. This design provides maximum power in a lightweight easy to handle tool. It can be fitted with optional size alligator jaws. This tool utilizes standard squeezer tooling for rivets and threaded inserts. The A is our most powerful alligator tool. All jaws are interchangeable with the Model A tool.
