Hydraulic Tools

What Makes Hydraulic Tools Standout?

There’s no wonder why most large scale construction sites, automechanic buffs and DIY enthusiasts rather choose hydraulic tools over pneumatic and mechanical equipment. For one thing, the efficiency when it comes to all-around performance is remarkable. Along with this, hydraulic tools can be a contractor’s savior in the event that electric and gas sources are unavailable.

Affordability

Be it initial or operating cost. Most hydraulic equipment is far more affordable than pneumatic tools. On the other hand, mechanical tools may be way too cheaper, but the efficiency of this tool when it comes to getting the job done pales in comparison as to what hydraulic tools can achieve. As for the operating cost, hydraulic tools seldom require high power or fuel backups – with the exemption of large hydraulic equipment, which is backed by tractors, Dozers and drillers – compared to pneumatic tools and equipment that are gas or electricity dependent to be able to achieve air compression. A single hydraulic power unit can accommodate an average of 40 different hydraulic tools, as it also allows simultaneous operation at a lower horsepower.

Safety

Safety in use is one of the hydraulic tools’ assets that every contractor seems to like. With hydraulic oil generally doing all the work with having less electrical conductivity, there is lesser chance for a certain worker to get into an electric shock and other equipment-related accident. Moreover, because it does not entirely run on gas or electric power units, there’s less chance for a worker to acquire harmful agents such as carbon monoxide.

Durability

There’s no doubt hydraulic tools can outlast and outlive pneumatic and mechanical tools. Its high-performance built can withstand massive torque and high pressure, while its main hydraulic oil not only serves its purpose of bringing providing pressure, but also stands as the tool’s lubricant. This keeps the tool’s inner metal parts from oxidizing and corroding.

Versatility

For one thing, compressed oil provides more energy than that of compressed air at any extreme conditions. It can function fully even at below zero degrees condition, as it doesn’t freeze up even at this kind of setting, while its maneuverability and positioning – with the help of various hydraulic systems – won’t be much of a problem especially when being used for different purposes, be it for construction or automotive. Moreover, its noise level is significantly lower when being used as opposed to pneumatic tools that use compressors.

Maintenance

Most resilient hydraulic tools are meant to endure abuse and the toughest of jobs on construction sites. In addition, the continuous lubrication keeps the tools’ internal components with well-conditioned to ensure smooth operation.

These are just some of the advantages in using hydraulic-powered tools. Though uses and functions may vary from one hydraulic equipment to another, the central mechanism of these devices is what makes them special and widely accepted in the construction and automotive industries.
