The secret to their success lies in cost-effectiveness and practicality. If you are a beginner mechanic, then you need to have a good idea of \u200b\u200bthe best pneumatic tools that you can use to improve the quality, productivity, and speed of work.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe key advantage and the basis of the huge popularity of pneumatic tools is production capacity, safety, reliability, durability, and productivity.\r\n\r\nThey have a special design, different from power tools and are driven by compressed air and require connection to a compressed air compressor. Not all instruments sold on the market today are the same, so carefully check the conformity of the characteristics with your air compressor.\r\n

The choice of a compressor is very important in this case<\/h2>\r\nEach tool needs a certain amount of air at a given pressure. This volume is measured in liters\/min or in m\u00b3\/h (i.e. 1m\u00b3\/h = 16.67 l\/min).\r\n\r\nThat is why, when choosing a compressor, first of all, its capabilities should be correlated with the demands of pneumatic tools. Otherwise, the tool will not function correctly. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that compressor performance should give a small head start to tool consumption.\r\n\r\nThis is one of the most important aspects that you can see in any review of pneumatic tools. And, when buying a compressor, you need to add 20% to the maximum consumption of a pneumatic tool, the amount received will mean the minimum compressor performance.\r\n\r\nThe volume of air delivered by a compressor depends on the size of its tank and its ability to fill it more or less quickly thanks to the performance of its compression unit. And a large capacity tank makes it possible to use all the tools almost permanently whatever the air required by the tool.\r\n\r\nTo choose a compressor power suited to your needs, you must determine the nature of the tools that will be connected to the compressor and whether they will be connected at the same time. It is also necessary to know the nature of the electrical source available, namely 230V single or 380V three-phase.\"\"\r\n

Drilling and chiseling<\/h2>\r\nThe pneumatic hammer drill is the oldest representative of pneumatic tools. Its ability to destroy solid materials by impact allows it to be used today in construction and repair work.\r\n\r\nBy the force of impact, pneumatic perforators are practically not inferior to modern electrical analogs, and the frequency of impacts is 2000 – 3000 beats\/min.\r\n\r\nIf you need to make holes in metal or wooden workpieces, use a pneumatic drill. It is an analog of shock-free electric models and can safely compete with them, thanks to the high rotation speed reaching 2200 rpm.\r\n
