POWER TOOLS
Power Tool
Purchase Considerations
Handle shape, size, length, material
Tool style, size, and weight
Portability
Power trigger type
Controls and switches
Ergonomics
* Does the tool have features that
increase worker performance and
productivity while reducing discomfort,
fatigue, and risk of injury?
How much power/torque is required?
Need for variable speed control
Vibration and noise level
Safety features
Accessories/attachments
Service recommendations
Durability
Warranty
Training resources
Technical support
Brand reputation
Budget range/price
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.
