What power source do products within Inflators use?
Inflators are available in two types, pneumatic tools and electric tools—the primary difference between the two lies in how the tool is powered. Pneumatic tools are powered by air delivered from air compressed in a tank where the pressure is built and is then fed through a motor where it is released and converted into energy. Electric tools are powered by either plugging into an electric source or a battery for cordless power tools. Both types of power tools have pros and cons, and the right choice depends on the nature of the job. Between the two types, air compressed tools have a higher upfront cost as they require the purchase of an air compressor and the tool. An electric tool may cost more, but the power source is already included, so no extra cost is required. When it comes to power, air tools are a clear winner as they pack more punch when it comes to heavy-duty work. Within Inflators, we carry 1 air tools, 32 corded electric and 32 cordless electric models.
