What causes pneumatic tools to wear out?
Quality pneumatic tools are among the most durable tools known to the mechanic or the homeowner. Coming in second only to the handheld tool, the pneumatic tool does not usually break down often. Most breakdowns are attributable to a handful of issues.
- Water is the principal cause of breakdown for a pneumatic tool. Water gets into the pneumatic tool through the air compression system.
- Grit, dust and debris in the airline is another cause of early pneumatic tool breakdown. Debris gets lodged in the working parts, causing a gradual degradation of performance.
- Just like any other mechanical tool, pneumatic tools require maintenance. Regular cleaning between jobs and regular oiling during jobs ensure the longest life for moving parts.
- Inside all pneumatic tools, springs are responsible for transferring power from one part to another. These springs are squeezed at one moment and released the next, several times per second. Regular changes of springs in pneumatic tools is highly recommended.
- No matter the purpose of a pneumatic tool, there is a high impact point somewhere in the device. Impact surfaces can wear down causing the need for part replacement.
