Air Tools

Shop air tools for compressors including impact wrenches, angle grinders, pistol drills and sanders. Air tools are faster and lighter than equivalent electric tools for sustained use — the compressor takes the heat load, not the tool. Check the CFM (free air delivery) requirement against your compressor's output before ordering. Free delivery on orders over £200 to England and Wales.

Air tools for compressors

Air tools are typically lighter and faster than their electric equivalents for sustained workshop use. The motor is the compressor, not a housing bolted to the tool itself, which keeps weight down and removes the heat build-up that limits electric tools on long runs. The trade-off is that you need a compressor with enough output to sustain the tool.

The figure to check is free air delivery (FAD), measured in CFM or litres per minute. A 1/2 inch impact wrench typically needs 4-6 CFM at 90 psi. An angle grinder or DA sander requires similar or slightly more and is more sensitive to pressure drops because it runs continuously. Add up the requirements of everything you plan to run simultaneously, then check that against your compressor's rated output.

Connection is via a 1/4 inch BSP male thread inlet on most tools, accepting a standard quick-release coupling. The same coupling fits across the range, so swapping between tools is fast. Check individual product listings for operating pressure and CFM requirements before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What compressor do I need to run air tools?

The key figure is free air delivery (FAD) in CFM or litres per minute. Most 1/2 inch impact wrenches require 4-6 CFM; angle grinders 4-6 CFM; DA sanders 4-8 CFM. Match your compressor's FAD to the tool's requirement — not the tank size.

What is the thread connection on most air tools?

Standard air tools use a 1/4 inch BSP male thread inlet. A quick-release coupling on your airline lets you swap between tools without disconnecting the hose.

Can I use air tools with a portable compressor?

Yes, provided the compressor's output meets the tool's requirement. Small portable compressors often struggle with high-consumption tools run continuously — they are better suited to intermittent use tools like impact wrenches.

Do your air tools come with a warranty?

Check the individual product listing for warranty information. Contact our team if you have specific questions.
