Pneumatic tools are a relatively new addition to the power tools market. These tools are driven by compressed air. They’re usually faster, more accurate, less expensive, and lighter. For these reasons, you should consider adding the following pneumatic power tools to your arsenal.

What Pneumatic Tools Should You Use?

1. Nailer

Using a pneumatic nailer is the best way to drive in nails. All you have to do is squeeze the trigger, and the nail will shoot into the wood. These are useful when you have to use a lot of fasteners. Brad nailers are ideal for putting trim on your home, as the nails are small and difficult to notice once they’re in. A roofing nailer is made to secure shingles. A finish nailer will speed up woodworking and home improvement projects a great deal.

2. Sander

Pneumatic sanders are ideal for heavy-duty sanding work. They’re smaller than traditional sanders, they won’t overheat, and they’re much safer if your surroundings are flammable. Some models have a rear exhaust so you can control the sander’s speed, which can be handy. You can replace the heads to complete virtually any sanding job.

3. Wrench

Air-powered wrenches are perfect for people who work on cars. When you press a button, the compressed air spins the socket to tighten or loosen the bolt.

Pneumatic impact wrenches are more compact than traditional wrenches, so they’re easier to navigate. If you need something even smaller, choose a racket wrench.

4. Drill

If you do heavy-duty work, a pneumatic drill could be ideal. It can fit into smaller spaces than a traditional drill, plus it is safe to use in flammable environments. Pneumatic tools grow colder the more they run, not hotter. For this reason, you don’t have to worry about an air-powered drill overheating and burning out.
