Power Tools
Can't find the power tool for that special job? New power toolsare coming out every day. Power tools are generally any motorized hand or machine powered
by electricity or fuel. While power tools are mostly driven by electricity, the category also includes small pneumatic tools driven by compressed air, such as air impact
wrenches and hammers. Gasoline engine-driven tools such as chain saws are also part of this group. The addition of the motor reduces the work
that the operator has to do, and sometimes makes it possible for the operator to do things that are difficult or impossible to do by hand. Common power
tools include various types of woodworking tools, i.e., saws and sanders, while many others are just hand tool equivalents, i.e., power screwdriver.

Power Tool Applications
Power tools were invented for a variety of functions. Many tools or groups of tools serve to perform one or more of a set of basic operations. Power tools, for example, were
invented to perform a variety of functions that were either hard or impossible to do by hand. Most people associate power tools with woodworking tools. Battery operated or
corded tools are very popular in the woodworking industry mostly for their portability and because they make tiresome tasks so much easier. Power tools, however, are also very
popular in the construction and automotive industries. Compaction tools such as the plate compactor, the concrete vibrator, rammers make it much easier to work with concrete.
Concrete and pavement saws and masonry block saws are staples in the construction of roads. While most power tools using electricity or batteries allow us to perform tasks that
otherwise would not be possible, they also come with certain limitations. Unless you have a large reservoir of backup batteries, or extra long electrical cords, your mobility
and usability is going to be restricted in that you will have to be near a power source and that batteries only last a short time.
