From building large structures like bridges and ships to minute automobile parts, medical tools, and delicate jewellery, metalworking plays a crucial role across industries and sectors. Not just industries, metalworking is also a popular hobby among DIY enthusiasts.

Choosing the right tool plays a crucial role in determining the success of any metalworking task. This is why we recommend that you pay careful attention when selecting the right air pneumatic tools for your metalworking projects. In this post, we outline the major factors that you should consider when choosing the right pneumatic tool for metalworking.

1. Speed

The speed of the tool you choose plays a crucial role in determining your project’s output productivity. The speed determines the material removal rate, hence the overall productivity. Ideally, there is no optimal speed that suits all applications and materials. The tool’s ideal speed for your project depends on several factors like required surface finish, disc size, disc type, and more.

Also, remember that high speed does not always mean an increase in productivity. With certain materials, high speed can lead to local heating, damaging the material and the tool. Make sure to check the pneumatic tool’s speed to determine if it suits your application before purchasing it.

2. Metalworking Material

Different metals have varying requirements. Hence, it’s not possible to specify one single pneumatic tool that suits all applications. To achieve the best results with your new air tool, you need to consider each metal’s features separately before making a purchase decision.

For instance, steel and steel alloys are hard to grind. Hence, the tool you choose has to be powerful to achieve the desired results. FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymers), on the other hand, are malleable and are easy to grind. Hence, they need to be worked with tools that are not too powerful, as powerful tools can quickly grind to the composite and melt the material.

3. Application

The application is one of the deciding factors in selecting the right tool. This is because different features of the tool are required for various tasks. To give an example, applications like chamfering, cutting, and weld seam work well with tools like vertical and angle grinders. These tools have disks that are specifically designed for these applications. On the other hand, applications like surface sanding require low-speed pneumatic tools like angle rotary sanders. Finishing tasks are best carried out with rotary orbital sanders and belt sanders.

So, make sure to consider the application type while choosing the right pneumatic tool.

4. Safety and Ergonomics

Safety and ergonomics are two factors that should never be compromised. The safety and convenience of the operator using the tool have a direct impact on productivity. One major factor to consider here is the power-to-weight ratio. You need to ask yourself this question while choosing pneumatic tools – will the operator be able to use the tool continuously for long periods without experiencing discomfort or strain?

Look for pneumatic tools with an auto-balancer. This feature helps in significantly reducing the vibrations during operations, thereby improving safety and decreasing operator fatigue.

5. Finally, Check out the Additional Features

Besides these four essential factors, you can also consider additional features. These are not mandatory but good to have. Certain features help in enhancing the productivity and efficiency of the task. For instance, some pneumatic tools come with spindle locks. These are designed to reduce downtime and minimise abrasive replacement.

Besides the features mentioned above, auto-balance is a great additional feature to look out for. For instance, a pneumatic tool with an auto balancer helps in effectively increasing the material removal rate by 15%. This is because workers can use the tool safely for long periods without getting tired soon.

The five features listed in this guide help you choose the best pneumatic tool for your metalworking project.

An Impact wrench is all you need. With better power, force and most importantly, a better grip than ordinary ones, it’s a handy tool for all tasks.

What is an impact wrench and what’s it used for? 

An impact wrench is a tool that generates a high torque or rotating force so that you can use it to remove or adjust nuts and bolts. It can be used manually or in automatic mode.  Automatic versions include hydraulic, air controlled and electric impact wrenches.

If you use a simple wrench, it may take hours to complete a primary task, but an impact wrench makes the job easier and faster.  The best part is that irrespective of whether you are a professional or an amateur, you can use this efficiently.

If you are wondering where to get it, no worries, we’ve got you covered. Visit our online store for a wide range of Impact wrenches of high quality.

Like every tool impact wrenches have a set of safety guidelines which make the tool safer and easier to use.

Here some of the common mistakes to avoid while using an impact wrench

• Prepare beforehand

Before you use any tools like an impact wrench, it’s important that you read and completely understand the instruction manual. Make sure you read the manual and understand specified warnings.

It’s important you dress appropriately while using the wrench. Keep hair and jewellery out of the way. Wear a mask to protect yourself. Also wear a thick jacket, gloves, and safety goggles. Overalls are one of the best clothing options for work, as they don’t come in the way during work.

• Examine the Impact wrench and accessories for damage

Before using an impact wrench make sure you have all the important accessories and also check whether they are free from any type of damage like breakage or cracking. Using damaged accessories can result in serious accidents.

• Operate the Impact wrench properly

Never try to use impact wrenches for jobs which are unsuitable or complex. Avoid applying force to prevent accidents. Also, make sure you have a firm grip on the tool, and it’s in your control. Safety always comes first. Make sure the workplace is safe.

• Be aware of your workplace

Using impact wrenches in tight corners with electric cables, pipelines and gas lines can be dangerous. It’s always better to avoid such places.  If it’s an unavoidable situation, make sure to take all safety precautions before commencing works.

Take precautions like clearing the people away and also disconnecting the pipelines.

Never try to use impact wrench in cold and wet places, as it can result in fatal shook. If you are working at height, make sure that you stand atop a stable platform. Also check that no one is standing below, to avoid painful drops.

• Unplug the impact wrench when not in use

If the impact wrench is not in use, unplug and store the tool and its accessories in a dry and enclosed space. Never try to change the accessories when the wrench is still plugged on. Grievous injury can happen.

Store the impact wrenches and accessories in a safe place. Exposure to sun or rain can damage the tools.

• Match your wrench to the job

Always make sure you buy the best quality impact wrenches made by trusted brands like Alok Tools. This saves you from monumental repair costs in the long run.

One of the common mistakes made is buying the wrong type of tool for the job. There are three types of wrenches – air, electric, hydraulic.

If you are a professional opt for air impact wrenches, as it has the best PVR (power to volume ratio). If it’s for home use, electric is the best option as they have a good PWR (power to weight ratio) and also they are less expensive.

Apart from this, other features, like battery level indicator, torque limiter, and extended warranty must be checked to ensure that you have the perfect tool for the job in hand. Check our impact wrenches for a wide variety of options.

• Mind your wrench size

Using a wrong-sized impact wrench is a common mistake made by a vast majority of customers. Getting a small size gives insufficient torque for the job, while a bigger size is bulky and difficult to use. Consider where and how long the wrench is going to be used.

For example, air controlled Impact wrenches are suitable for jobs that run over a long period as it has great PVR (power to volume ratio) than other impact wrenches. Electric impact wrenches are a perfect choice for home use because there is no additional infrastructure required.

• Use the right power sockets

Very often, inexperienced and amateurs users use the wrong sockets for impact wrenches. Regular household sockets are not made to be used with cyclic loads and are likely to wear down quickly, causing the impact wrench to slip while in use.  Impact wrenches require sockets heavy-duty sockets that are flat and grip well.  This prevents them from tear and wear and frequent slipping.

• Tighten with precision

This is another common problem of inexperienced users who underestimate the torque being applied by an impact wrench. Over tightening can cause trouble. It can strip or stretch the threads. Even when there is no damage, it becomes difficult to loosen them.

For instance, a vast majority of us would have struggled to loosen a wheel nut that has been fixed tightly by a mechanic using an impact wrench in the workshop. For this reason, it’s recommended that you use a torque wrench for tightening to avoid damages and troubles. On the other hand, you can use an impact wrench for loosening nuts and bolts.

• Just apply the right amount of torque

Never underestimate the amount of torque applied. An impact wrench is an ideal tool for loosening, removing, and refitting nuts and bolts but mistakes slow you down and cost your money and valuable time.

• Damaging threads

Cross threading usually damages the nuts or bolts. The best way to prevent this by threading them by hand before using impact wrenches.  This is important for aluminum or any other soft metal fixing, as they are prone to damages.

To conclude you are probably now aware of the common mistakes of using an impact wrench. Use this guide to avoid them. Always remember that safety is your first priority. Keep in mind these common mistakes, so it doesn’t happen to you.
