Match Your Air Tool To The Compressor
You can find dozens of kinds of air tools that do not offer an electrical versions. Be honest, have you ever seen or heard of an electrical wrench? Electrical tools just do not have enough power compared to a decent air tool. Air tools tend to spin faster and generate a lot more torque. This means that you the usual projects done quick and you will be able to take on bigger projects that you normally would not be equipped for. Lug nut wrenches, sandblasters, drills, spray guns and die grinders can be attached to or removed from an air compressor hose connection in seconds, air tools are the ultimate tool in flexibility.
Air tools do have one major caveat. Any electric tool can function as long as you have a functioning AC outlet, but air tools might not function at all if it is not hooked up to an air compressor with enough horsepower and CFM (cubic feet per minute). You need to have an adequate air compressor to match your air tool requirements.
Each and every air compressor has rating known as the volume of air it can displace in cubic feet per minute (CFM) and the amount pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI) the air compressor delivers. You don't need to be be technical, and comprehend how each of these specifications are derived. All you need to worry about is matching the air tool requirement, which is specified for every air tool, with the ratings of the air compressor you are looking to use with it. Keep in mind, that it will always be a great idea to have an air compressor that will be above the rating of your air tools. If you don't have room to grow with your air compressor, each time you need to buy another air tool, you might need to upgrade your air compressor. Your air tools always need to have lower requirements then the air compressors themselves.
