How Pneumatic Tools Work
This is a basic explanation of how hand held pneumatic tools work. If you have access to a cut-away Pneumatic fitting tool this is the time to get it, as looking at a diagram is not the same as looking at the real thing.
Firstly, you do not fire a nail with a hammer ¨C you drive it. The same applies to pneumatic fastening tools. You use them to drive fasteners.
The place of the hammer is taken by the driver/piston and the energy that comes from the movement of the hammer is replaced by the energy from the movement of the driver/piston. Instead of putting your hand into your pocket for the next fastener, it is fed in to the nose of the pneumatic tool for you, either by a spring or by a piston.
There is nothing magic to Pneumatic fastening tools. The trick lies in moving quantities of air from one part of the tool to another as quickly as possible. The four diagrams opposite show the position of the various components that make a pneumatic tool work during the stages of driving a fastener.
