Compressed air has many benefits. Most importantly, it is safe. You won’t get an electric shock from it or burns. Another advantage of compressed air is that you can utilize it in just about any environment. When treated, you can use it for applications where air quality and hygiene really matter, for example in a cleanroom.
The tools that are powered by air typically weigh less than electric equipment. At the same time, these pneumatic tools are very powerful and reliable. Where electricity meets its limits, compressed air reliably keeps you running.
And, of course, because compressed air is generated by the air that surrounds us, there is an endless supply of it just about anywhere.
With so many benefits, there has to be a downside, right? Well, there is.
