If your shop is a busy place with a variety of duties being performed, you probably move more air than the space shuttle on some hectic days. Air tools and other situations that require pressurization or refilling can tax even the most enduring air compressor. Unlike other mechanics tools, air compressors can be noisy contraptions that lose a great deal of performance over time.
The noise alone can begin to wear on even the most experienced mechanic. When air compressors become finicky and take a longer and longer to recharge, the problem can be more than a nuisance. You begin to lose time as you wait for the tool to perform its job. And as every successful business owner will tell you, the more time you lose, the more money and potential customers go with it.
That’s why you should consider upgrading your air compressor to this top of the line model to power your next generation or air and mechanics tools. The Chicago Pneumatic CPQRS75HPD Quiet Rotary Screw Air Compressor with dryer comes complete with a tank mount and a bevy of special features to make your air compression needs easier. Its quiet enclosure and extra durability will go a long way towards making your shop a productive, and profitable one.

Air tools are made to provide a performance and durability advantage over conventional tools. Pneumatic pressure allows them to place more force, rotate faster, and press harder than their hand or electric counterparts. That’s why they’re found in mechanic’s shops across the country doing the daily jobs conventional tools could never accomplish.
If you’re making regular use of air tools in your shop, consider whether it is time to upgrade or outfit your shop with a new air ratchet. The performance of an air ratchet is a cut above conventional ratchets and ensures tight bonds in less time and with less fuss. This Ingersoll Rand IR1077XP Air Ratchet is built to endure countless jobs and provide quality performance that is a cut above other air tools in its class.

It is a rare thing when a machine can be fueled by something that is abundant throughout the world. The gas crisis that has struck the automotive industry and consumers everywhere is a perfect example of why abundant, easily generated fuel is of the utmost importance. Only now, when America is struggling with high fuel prices, do those in power begin to discuss ways to utilize air, water, and waste as energy sources.
Mechanics have been ahead of that game for some time. Thanks to air tools, the use of carbon dioxide cylinders allow for maximum portability, power, and tool efficiency at an incredibly low price. Where electric tools fail, pneumatic tools step in to fill the void. That’s why air tools have grown to become almost ubiquitous in industrial and manufacturing workplaces since their introduction into the marketplace.
Air tools can come in a variety of formats. Air impact wrenches, airbrushes, pneumatic grinders and sanders, drills, hammers, and other tools give mechanics a performance edge. Even paint sprayers and guns are considered air tools that take advantage of gaseous power to get the job done. Your shop relies on air tools for a reason: they’re efficient, they’re powerful, and they’re quite literally “running on air.”
