Review the manufacturer's instruction before using a tool. Wear safety glasses or
goggles, or a face shield (with safety glasses or goggles), and, where necessary,
safety shoes or boots and hearing protection. Post warning signs where pneumatic
tools are used. Set up screens or shields in areas where nearby workers may be
exposed to flying fragments, chips, dust, and excessive noise. Ensure that the
compressed air supplied to the tool is clean and dry. Dust, moisture, and corrosive
fumes can damage a tool. An in-line regulator filter and lubricator increases tool
life. Keep tools clean and lubricated, and maintain them according to the
manufacturers' instructions. Use only the attachments that the manufacturer
recommends for the tools you are using. Be careful to prevent hands, feet, or body
from injury in case the machine slips or the tool breaks. Reduce physical fatigue
by supporting heavy tools with a counter- balance wherever possible.Use the proper
hose and fittings of the correct diameter. Use hoses specifically designed to resist
abrasion, cutting, crushing and failure from continuous flexing.
Choose air-supply hoses that have a minimum working pressure rating of 1035
kPa (150 psig) or 150% of the maximum pressure produced in the system,
whichever is higher. Check hoses regularly for cuts, bulges and abrasions. Tag
and replace, if defective. Blow out the air line before connecting a tool. Hold
hose firmly and blow away from yourself and others. Make sure that hose
connections fit properly and are equipped with a mechanical means of securing
the connection (e.g., chain, wire, or positive locking device). Install quick
disconnects of a pressure-release type rather than a disengagement type.
Attach the male end of the connector to the tool, NOT the hose.

Pneumatic tools consider compressed air as the source of propulsion. Using air to
drive the motive parts to generate energy and torque in order to build machines
that can perform a variety of movements. Pneumatic tools are Most pneumatic
tools convert the compressed air to work using a pneumatic motor. Compared
to electric power tool equivalents, pneumatic tools are safer to run and maintain,
without risk of sparks, short-circuiting or electrocution, and have a higher power
to weight ratio, allowing a smaller, lighter tool to accomplish the same task.
Furthermore, they are less likely to self-destruct in case the tool is jammed or
overloaded.General grade pneumatic tools with a short life span are commonly less
expensive and considered “disposable tools” in tooling industries, while industrial
grade pneumatic tools with long life span are more expensive. In general,
pneumatic tools are cheaper than the equivalent electric-powered tools. Regular
lubrication of the tools is still needed however.widely used in almost every
machinery and relevant industries. For instance, the industries of automobile
repairing, computer electronics, mechanical assembly, molding, woodwork and
construction, are industries that used pneumatic tools heavily.

Types of Pneumatic Hand Tools

▪ wrench
▪ air ratchet
▪ die grinder
▪ air hammer
▪ drill

• Impact Wrench :

An air impact wrench, also commonly known as an impact gun, is a

powerful tool widely used in automotive, industrial, and construction
applications. It operates by delivering high torque output with minimal effort
from the user, thanks to a motor that is powered by compressed air. The tool’s
mechanism stores energy in a rotating mass and then delivers it suddenly to the
output shaft, making it ideal for tasks that require a high level of torque. Air
impact wrenches, or impact guns, are known for their ability to quickly and
efficiently remove or tighten bolts, nuts, and other fasteners, making them an
indispensable tool in many professional settings.

Applications:
• Automotive Repair and Maintenance.
• Construction and Heavy Machinery.
• Industrial Assembly Lines.
• Aerospace
7
 • Air Ratchet :

Air ratchet wrenches have become essential elements in every serious toolbox. They
combine access and power to make jobs more productive and profitable. A combination
of hand ratchet wrench and air motor, they are used for tightening and loosening
threaded fasteners and can be used powered or as a typical hand ratchet in its non-
powered mode. Air and cordless ratchet wrenches offer lighter torques than an impact
wrench but are used for close quarter work, like dashboard and under hood work, or in
situations when too much power can cause damage. Another major advantage of these
air tools is speed. You will find it much quicker when installing or removing fasteners.
Air Ratchets are also a “knuckle-saver,” offering much greater access in confined work
areas.

Applications:
• Maintenance Shops
• Automotive Repair
• Outdoor Power Equipment Manufacturing

 • Die Grinder :
•

A die grinder or rotary tool is a handheld power tool and multitool used for grinding, sanding,
honing, polishing, or machining material (typically metal, but also plastic or wood). All such
tools are conceptually similar, with no bright dividing line between die grinders and rotary tools,
although the die grinder name tends to be used for pneumatically driven heavy-duty versions
whereas the rotary tool name tends to be used for electric lighter-duty versions. Flexible shaft
drive versions also exist. The die grinder name comes from one of their earliest and archetypal
applications, tool and die work, where they were used to create the precise contours of dies
or molds. Especially before the advent of widespread CNC usage, they were heavily relied upon
for contouring via manual skill comparable to a sculptor's.

Applications:

• Grind and polish metals

• Hard plastics and woods.
• Eliminate metallic burrs. Eliminate and
revise weld beads.
• Sharpen or rectify ceramic materials. Sand or
polish paints.
• Sand and polish cylindrical surfaces.

 • Air Hammer :

An air hammer, also known as an air chisel, is a pneumatic hand tool used to
carve in stone, and to break or cut metal objects apart. It is designed to accept
different tools depending on the required function. An air hammer is a
pneumatic tool that uses compressed air to deliver powerful blows to break, cut,
or shape hard materials. It's also known as a pneumatic hammer or power
hammer.

Applications:

• Breaking
• Concrete Removing materials
• Digging holes
• Cutting metal
• Shaping metal
10
 • Pneumatic Drill :

A pneumatic drill is a handheld air-powered tool that drills holes or destroys

hard surfaces such as rock, concrete, and roads. It is commonly referred to as
a jackhammer or air drill. A pneumatic drill can drill holes about 10-20 mm in
diameter and is applicable in rescue operations and construction. This article
explores the working principle of a pneumatic drill and its comparison with
electric drills.A pneumatic drill relies on compressed air pressure for power.
Pneumatic drills are one of the most efficient drilling tools in the market in
terms of capacity, productivity, and functionality. For example, a sledgehammer
will hit the ground ten times a minute, while pneumatic drills can hit the
ground 1500 times every minute. This efficiency level makes pneumatic drills
the tool of choice when drilling holes in hard surfaces or breaking large things.
DIY projects, especially during house remodels and renovations, use pneumatic
drills.

Applications :

• Digging holes for signposts

• Creating openings for underground utility lines
• Breaking through pavement to access buried pipes or cable

 Conclusion

A pneumatic tool, air tool, air-powered tool is type of power tool, driven by compressed air
supplied by an air compressor. Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon
dioxide stored in small cylinders allowing for portability. Most pneumatic tools convert the
compressed air to work using a pneumatic motor. Compared to electric power tool
equivalents, pneumatic tools are safer to run and maintain, without risk of sparks, short-
circuits or electrocution, and have a higher power to weight ratio, allowing a smaller, lighter
tool to acomplishthe same task. Furthermore, they are less likely to self-destruct in case the
tool is jammed or overloaded. General grade pneumatic tools with a short life span are
commonly less expensive and considered “disposal tools” in tooling industries, while
industrial grade pneumatic tools with long life span are more expensive. Ingeneral,
pneumatic tools are cheaper than the equvivalent electric-powered tools. Regular lubrication
of the tools is still needed however.
