Air Compressor Pumps And Motors

Does this Mean Your Standard Tools are Obsolete?

So what's the deal anyway? After all, the last time you checked your compressor and guns were working just fine. What does this new generation of technological advancements bring to your job site that your truckload of tools don't already?

Lighter More Compact and Far More Powerful

The fact is that HP nailers and compressors don't really offer anything new. They simply do what standard air tools do now, only they do it a heck of a lot better. This new generation of tools is also lighter, more compact, and at the same time more powerful.

Makita High Pressure Air Tools are Better Balanced

For instance, because HP guns run at a substantially higher PSI, they require smaller piston and drive systems. As a result, these nailers now tend to be about 30% smaller and lighter than standard pressure nail guns. The lower weight factor also enables them to be better balanced as well.

Nailing Flush 16s into Glu-Lams and LVLs

This new generation of guns also do a much better job of driving nails. Once again, the higher PSI means that nails can be driven flush into even the hardest materials, and at a far higher rate of consistency. Even nailing 16s flush into dense engineered glu-lams and LVLs is no problem.

No More Pounding Down 8 Penny Nail Heads

Also with their higher PSI, there's no need to go back over roofs, floors and sheer paneling, pounding down nail heads. The flush nail sets on the tips of the guns function the same, so under high pressure 8 penny nails are consistency driven flush every time.

Check Out High Pressure Compressors

Oil-less pressure compressor pumps also function far more efficiently using less power, and that of course means fewer trips to the electrical panel box to flip breaker switches. High PSI air also takes up less space, so a 1 ½ tank on a high pressure air compressor handles the same air load as a 5 gallon tank on a standard compressor.

Run the Guns You Have Now Off a High Pressure Compressor

In fact the Makita high pressure compressor features two sets of air output plugs. Two for high PSI tools and the other two are for standard air guns. It's simply a mater of adjusting the PSI down to a lower level on the two that supply air for standard guns.

Makita High Pressure Air Tools are Here to Stay

So Makita high pressure tools are here to stay, but just like technological advancements of this type in the past, it's going to be a gradual change. People aren't going to toss out their perfectly good standard air tools they have now, just to make the switch.
