The choice of tool for construction and mechanic crews is a big deal. While electric drills are more common than pneumatic wrenches on construction sites, you should consider replacing your electric tools with a pneumatic wrench. While electric tools are convenient and readily available, there are reasons why a pneumatic wrench can make a good choice for a construction worker.
Versatility: A Requirement for the Jack of All Trades
When you work in construction, you often don't have the ability to specialize in just one area. Instead, you might be called on to work a variety of jobs on any given day. While electricity can be used to power many tools, if you are called on to use a sprayer to paint a house, you will need an air compressor. Because an air compressor can also be used to power your pneumatic wrench, the same set up can be used to complete a variety of jobs.
While an air compressor requires access electricity or at least access to a generator, you can run pneumatic tools off of a canister of compressed air. Thus, when you use a pneumatic wrench, you can take on jobs that take you away from sources of electricity. Making yourself available for a wide variety of jobs in a wide variety of settings can only help you take on more work and, thus, make more money.
Dependability Makes a Tool You Can Rely on
Pneumatic wrenches have fewer moving parts than electric tools, and they typically feature heavy-duty metal construction. Fewer parts means there is less that can go wrong with your tool, and the heavy-duty construction means your tool can take more abuse without breaking. Thus, when you buy a pneumatic wrench, you should get a tool that does not require a lot of maintenance and can outlast its electric counterparts. Nothing is worse than getting out to a job and then finding that your drill or saw won't work like it should. A pneumatic wrench makes a dependable choice for a tool, so you can trust it to work day after grueling day.
While pneumatic wrenches are more common in a mechanic shop than out on a construction site, they can make a good choice for a construction crew. You likely already have an air compressor to power your nail gun and/or paint gun, so using the same compressor to power your drill makes a logical choice.

My name is Debbie Greenberg. I’m a single woman who owns her home, and like most homeowners I dread home repairs. I’m not very handy with do-it-yourself projects around the house. I can do a few minor repairs when necessary, but for the most part I have to call in a professional. Last year I had a leak in my roof. When it rained, water would leak into my kitchen. What appeared to be a simple fix turned out to be anything but simple. It took over four months to finally identify the problem, and double the money I was initially quoted to fix it. The problem ended up being that the flat part of my roof didn't have shingles, but a sheeting material. I learned a bit about home roofs along the way, and that is what I want to share with you.
