Pneumatic tools or air tools are tools driven by gas, usually compressed air supplied
by a gas compressor. Pneumatic tools can also be driven by compressed carbon dioxide
(CO2) stored in small cylinders allowing for portability. Pneumatic tools are commonly
cheaper and safer to run and maintain than their electric power tool counterparts,
as well as having a higher power to weight ratio, allowing a smaller, lighter tool
to accomplish the same task. Air tools were formerly unpopular in the DIY market,
but are becoming increasingly popular, and have always been ubiquitous in industrial
and manufacturing settings. Some common pneumatic tools: * Air impact wrench * Air
ratchet * Airbrush * pneumatic grinder * pneumatic sander * pneumatic drill * pneumatic
screwdriver * pneumatic tapping machine * pneumatic hammer * pneumatic hack saw
* pneumatic trimmer * pneumatic paint gun * pneumatic tacker * pneumatic polisher
* pneumatic nail gun * Paint sprayer
