Many people in the choice of tools, will be torn between power tools and pneumatic tools, I should buy electric or pneumatic, which is suitable for me?
If you have the same confusion, please follow me to understand.
First of all, the difference between pneumatic tools and electric tools. Electric tools refer to hand-held operations, small power motor or electromagnet as power, through the transmission mechanism to drive the working head of the tool. Pneumatic tool is a tool that uses compressed air to drive pneumatic motor and output kinetic energy.
Both provide rotation, reciprocation, swing, impact and other modes of operation, but pneumatic tools are smaller and lighter with the same output power. Electric tools are more convenient to use, but the weight is generally 3 to 4 times that of pneumatic tools, which is not suitable for long time work.
Pneumatic tools offer more levels of choice in the speed range and are better suited for long hours without heat and overload failures. Even if the compressed air engine is overloaded, the tool will stop rotating and resume normal operation after the overload is removed. There is no impact on the tool and no fault will occur.
In terms of environmental application capability, pneumatic tools are more water resistant. Soaking in water is harmful to tools, but it doesn't spark and cause injury like hardware power tools. In addition, pneumatic tools can use internal combustion engine pumps, so they can be adapted to a variety of adverse or harsh environments.
Then from the point of view of use cost, power tools are cheap to buy, but expensive to use, because later to use electricity, the cost will always exist. On the contrary, pneumatic tools need to establish air pressure pipeline equipment in the early stage, with more input, and air is used in the later stage. There is no need for cost expenditure and less input.
In short, pneumatic tools and electric tools as the main members of power tools, each has advantages and disadvantages, depending on your needs. Power tools are recommended if they are used for a short time. For long-term use, pneumatic tools can be selected.
