About Pneumatic Power Tools
Pneumatic Power tools are driven by gas, usually compressed air supplied by a gas compressor. Pneumatic power tools are used in Industry, where it is common to have industrial factory unit plumbed for compressed air. It also has applications in, among other things, dentistry, construction, and mining. Pneumatic power tool users need not worry about hazardous leakages as the fuel is commonly just air, although other compressed gases, such as Carbon Dioxide, may be used.
Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide (CO2) stored in small cylinders allowing for portability. Pneumatic tools are commonly cheaper and safer to run and maintain than their electric power tool counterparts, as well as having a higher power to weight ratio, allowing a smaller, lighter tool to accomplish the same task. Pneumatic Power Tools were formerly unpopular in the DIY market, but are becoming increasingly popular, and have always been ubiquitous in industrial and manufacturing settings.
