Pneumatic
Tools
Air Ratchet
•
An air ratchet wrench is
very similar to hand-
powered ratchet
wrenches in that it has
the same square drive,
but an air motor is
attached to turn the
socket drive.
Airbrush
•
An airbrush is a small,
air-operated tool that
atomizes and sprays
various media, most
often paint, but also
ink, dye, and make-up.
Spray painting
developed from the
airbrush and is
considered to employ a
type of airbrush.
•
Power hammers are
mechanical forging
hammers that use an
electrical power source
or steam to raise the
hammer preparatory to
striking, and accelerate
it onto the work being
hammered. They are
also called open die
power forging
hammers.

Pneumatic Tools
Pneumatic tools are power tools that use compressed air as their power source to generate mechanical motion. They work by an air compressor storing pressurized air in a tank,
which is then delivered to the tool via a hose to power its internal motor and perform tasks such as drilling, sanding, or fastening.
Angle grinder
•
An angle grinder, also
known as a side grinder
or disc grinder, is a
handheld power tool
used for grinding
(abrasive cutting) and
polishing.
Backfill Tamper
•
A backfill tamper is a
heavy-duty, often
pneumatic, tool used in
construction and
landscaping to compact
soil, sand, and other
backfill materials
around utility lines,
foundations, and in
trenches to create
dense, stable, and
secure installations.
•
Its function is to
tighten and loosen
screws and nuts
quickly, using
compressed air to
generate high torque.
Impact wrenches
•
A nail gun, nailgun or
nailer is a form of
hammer used to drive
nails into wood or other
materials. It is usually
driven by compressed
air (pneumatic),
electromagnetism,
highly flammable gases
such as butane or
propane, or, for powder-
actuated tools, a small
explosive charge.
Nail gun
Jackhammer
•
A jackhammer (pneumatic
drill or demolition hammer
in British English) is a
pneumatic or electro-
mechanical tool that
combines a hammer
directly with a chisel.
Hand-held jackhammers
are generally powered by
compressed air, but some
are also powered by
electric motors.
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.
•
A large, heavy
mechanical drill driven
by compressed air, used
for breaking up a hard
surface such as a road.
Pneumatic Drill
•
A pneumatic jack uses
compressed air to
provide the mechanical
force needed to lift
heavy objects, unlike
hydraulic jacks, which
use fluid.

Pneumatic Paint Shaker
•
A pneumatic paint shaker
is an air-powered device
that uses compressed air
to shake or oscillate paint
cans, ensuring a perfectly
mixed and even
consistency of paint,
especially for products
with pigments that settle
over time.
Pneumatic Sanders
•
Pneumatic sanders are
lighter, quieter and
easier to operate than
electric sanders
because they have an
air compressor instead
of a motor. T
•
The sandblaster has two
main components: the
blast pot and the air
intake. The blast pot
holds the abrasive
blasting media and
funnels the particles
through a valve.
Pneumatic Sandblaster
•
A pneumatic shear is a
cutting tool powered by
compressed air,
designed for high-
efficiency and precision
cutting of sheet metal,
plastic, rubber, or
composite materials.
