(Redirected from Air tools)
'Pneumatic tools' or 'air tools' are tools driven by compressed air, usually supplied by a gas compressor. Pneumatic tools are commonly cheaper and safer to run and maintain than their electric power tool counterparts, as well as having a higher power to weight ratio, allowing a smaller, lighter tool to accomplish the same task.
Air tools were formerly unpopular in the DIY market, but are becoming increasingly popular, and have always been ubiquitous in industrial and manufacturing settings.
