Price is a vital consideration while selecting a tool for applications of metalworking like sanders, grinders, pistol drills and so on, but it alone should not be the determining aspect on which you can depend to select the best Chicago Pneumatic tools.

Other things that is also conducive to the entire cost of performance, ownership and eventually, the overall productiveness.

Ergonomics

One of the main things to look out is the ergonomics of the tool, particularly the following aspects:

• Vibrations

Restricting the vibrations that the worker is exposed to while managing the tool is vital for productiveness and well being. Extreme vibration may lead to Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), which in the worst case, may result in complete loss of sensation in hands, permanently disabling the operator. The idea to choose anti vibration tools with features that lessen vibration and stabilize the tool, like auto-balancers, assist in making it safer to use for extended periods, and thereby enhancing the removal rate of the material for up to 15 percent.

Maintenance

As ...
... the industrial maintenance needs and cycles vary between the tools, comparisons can be challenging. The most vital feature to look for is the maintenance interval, which displays how many hours you can use the tool before maintenance is suggested.

Safety

The ideal tool can also assist to lessen the hazard of accidents, ensuring productiveness. Many tools, including Chicago Pneumatic, boast a two-position safety trigger, which can be adapted to the grip of the operator below or above the housing to lessen the hazard of their hands slipping. Air grinders, specifically when boasting an over speed shut off, are also a great way of handling both productiveness and safety.
All the above mentioned points highlight various attributes that can be conducive to long-term cost-efficiency and productiveness. Reviewing the needs and getting the tool that is the best match for the application, and the requirements of the operator, will assist in making the most out of your investment.

Without the right flow and pressure, the motor of the tool will not have sufficient energy to run the abrasive at a full speed, causing sub-optimal effectiveness.

How to get the ideal dynamic pressure and air flow?

The choice of the ideal air line accessories is important to make sure the performance of your tool.

Maintenance of the tools

Just as you would carry out regular maintenance of your vehicle, it is important to execute routine maintenance on the tools, to make sure they are kept in great working condition, and delivering a consistent high performance. Well, pneumatic tools are basically mechanical systems with wear components that require regular changes and inspection.

Information associated with right maintenance is available in the operator manual of the tool.
