For cordless tools:
* What type of battery does the
tool have? Battery type determines
how long the battery
provides power and how much
time is required for recharging.
* Consider battery voltages. Eight
to 12V systems are more common
for ratchets, lighting, and
applications requiring lower rpm.
Eighteen to 20V systems are most
common for impact wrenches.
Over 20V is available for extended
applications such as grinders.
For pneumatic tools:
* Every air tool has an operational
compressed air requirement
measured in cubic feet per minute
(cfm). Every air compressor has
a maximum cfm output. The air
compressor's cfm output must be
greater than the cfm requirement
to keep all the pneumatic tools in
the shop operating efficiently.
* Compatibility with
existing systems.
