From construction to maintenance and cleanup, the tool you use plays a major role in how your project is completed. Pneumatic tools harness the power of compressed air for maximum power, portability, and precision. Here are a few popular examples.

Your Guide to Pneumatic Tools

1. Blowers

These handy cleanup and restoration tools blow away stubborn dust and residue from hard-to-reach areas. They’re used on and around equipment at construction sites, machine shops, garages, and assembly lines.

They’re also used for drying or cleaning areas that require strict avoidance of physical contact, such as laboratory surfaces. Designed with ergonomic grips for comfortable, easily controlled operation, blowers feature variable operation that controls air flow for any sized task.

2. Wrenches

Wrenches powered by an air compressor generate enough instant torque to lock down or loosen the most stubborn fasteners quickly and easily. The air triggered at the compressor is modulated by adjustable controls to produce the desired force. A reaction device at the head buffers feedback for operator comfort.

These tools can exceed 500 pounds of torque, or turning power, to handle everything from lug nuts to heavy-duty construction fasteners.

3. Nail Guns

Air nailers effortlessly drive nails through dense or hard material, vastly accelerating carpentry, framing, and metalwork.

These nimble handheld devices use pressurized air from the compressor to trigger valves that drive a piston, propelling the nail from the chamber. 

Opt for a full sequential trigger nail gun to provide the most accident protection. This option has to be released manually, which helps prevent damages and possible injuries.

4. Paint Sprayer

Manual paint application can be exhausting and imprecise. Air-powered paint sprayers tackle jobs both large and small, from walls on buildings to the craftsmanship of decorations and artwork.

Most sprayers feature a selection of fan patterns and volume control to make sure paint rapidly applies right where you need it with less spatter and time-consuming labor.
