Air Tools

Air tools use compressed air for their operation. Compressors in car workshops create pressures higher than 6 bar and therefore care should be taken.

The compressed air system comprises a compressor, a pressure regulator, an air hose or fixed piping, and air tools.

The whole system uses quick-connect fittings so that various air tools can be used on the same air hose. There are several types of quick-connect fittings, and the workshop usually uses one type throughout the entire workshop.

Compressed air tools are pumps, air nozzles, impact wrenches, drills, grinders, cutters, grease guns, jacks, etc.
