pneumatic tool

Compressed-air powered implement

A pneumatic tool is powered by compressed air rather than electricity or batteries.

Air compressors feed tools like nail guns, impact wrenches, and jackhammers through hoses, delivering high power without the weight of motors.

Pneumatic tools dominate auto shops and construction sites where sustained heavy use would overheat electric alternatives.
