Power Tools
Can't find the power tool you need? New power tools are 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.
