What Are Air Tools?

Air or pneumatic tools rely on compressed air to operate. They are versatile and generally ergonomic, thanks to their high power-to-weight ratio. This means you’ll feel less fatigue while being able to accomplish tasks more efficiently. 

Leaf blowers, air compressors, and chainsaws are some of the tools that belong to this rather broad category. 

How Do Air Tools Work?

Air tools rely on air compressors to deliver a powerful, pressurised burst of air to perform their designated function. 

The process begins with the air compressor, which is tasked to draw in ambient air and compress it. The compressed air is then sent to a regulator. You can adjust this regulator depending on the specific pressure required. From the regulator, the pressurised air travels through a hose linked to the main device. 

An air tool is usually activated by pulling a trigger. When you pull that trigger, pressurised air flows to the pneumatic motor of the tool, which is responsible for converting the air’s energy into mechanical energy. 

What Are the Advantages of Using Air Tools?

Air tools are an essential part of your collection of power tools. And they come in handy with their several advantages.

  • They boast lightweight construction. These tools are typically lighter than electric tools, so you will feel less tired when using them, especially for extended periods of time.

  • They have various speed capabilities. You can easily adjust the speed of an air tool, allowing you to control how it operates better. This characteristic is particularly beneficial if you’re handling detailed work.

  • They are generally safer. An air tool doesn’t require electricity to operate, so it doesn’t produce sparks. This makes it a safer option if you’re working in a flammable or even damp environment. 

What Types of Tasks Are Air Tools Suitable For?

Air tools can perform various tasks, from garden maintenance and automotive repair to woodworking, metalworking, and painting. Industrial air tools, in particular, are utilised to accomplish larger-scale work, such as assembly. 

What Is Included in an Air Tool Kit?

As stated, air tool is a rather broad term encompassing tools that use pressurised air. If you’re building your kit, know that it usually includes an air hammer, an air ratchet gun, an air blow gun, impact wrenches, drills, and sanders — along with accessories such as a hose. Of course, you’re free to add any air tool that will suit your needs.


At Factory Buys, you can find quality cordless leaf blowers complete with a lithium-ion battery and charger for garden maintenance tasks. We also offer air hose reels and air compressors. Our portable compressor comes with an alligator clamp, deflation valve, tyre plug kit, bonus head attachment, and even a carry bag. 

What Should I Consider When Purchasing Air Tools?

When buying air tools — or any other tool for that matter — you must always consider the specific tasks you’ll need them for. For air tools, specifically, ensure they can provide the air pressure and volume needed. 


Besides the technical requirements, consider purchasing something that balances quality, durability, and cost-effectiveness. In our selection, you’ll find tools that are affordable, utterly reliable, and warrantied. 

How Do I Maintain and Care for Air Tools?

Air tools are built for rugged use. They are less likely to overheat and boast a long lifespan. However, to maximise their use, you need to properly maintain and care for them. 

Regularly clean your tools and inspect them for wear or damage. You also need to periodically lubricate the moving parts to prevent rust. To avoid any water damage, make sure to drain your air compressor. Follow the accompanying manual for specific instructions, and utilise the warranty when needed.
