Power Tool Types Unveiled: Understanding the Tools You Need

Ka-bakal, alam mo ba ang sikreto kung pano pumili ng best power tools? Dahil sa totoo lang, not all of them are the same. Each product has a distinct purpose and benefit. 

Halimbawa, OK lang ba gumamit ng drill instead of an impact driver? Actually, magkaiba ang functions ng bawat isa. When puncturing holes, mas OK ang drills. Impact drivers naman ang para sa screws. That's only one example of how you might interchange certain power tools.

Para sa DIY projects o malaking construction job, mahalagang gumamit ng  tamang tools para sa mabilis at maayos na output. 

Don’t worry, malalaman mo na ang dapat mong gawin. This blog discusses different power tool types and how you can use them para kayang-kayeah matapos ang lahat ng personal or professional projects mo.

Main Classifications of Power Tools

There are four (4) categories of power tools, each with different functions and applications. 

• Electric

• Cordless drills

  Cordless drills derive power from quick-charging, long-lasting batteries. These versatile tools are essential for drilling holes and driving screws. Their cordless design offers great mobility, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor projects.
  
  Para sa iba’t ibang drilling tasks sa bahay at construction sites, perfect ang Powerhouse CORDLESS IMPACT DRILL PH-20V-WLPROIMPACT13MM. Its speed settings are versatile for any of your projects.
  
  

• Electric saws

  Anong materyales ang gamit mo sa construction, kahoy, plastik, o bakal? Bagay ang electric saw para sa’yo. These tools can easily and quickly cut through various materials in different shapes and sizes.
  
  For precision cutting, merong CORDLESS CIRCULAR PRO PH-20V-WLSCLASERPRO ang Powerhouse. Portable and easy to use ‘to, kaya ideal para sa iba-ibang projects.
  
  

• Electric sanders

  Maaasahan mo ang power tool na ‘to para maging smooth ang surfaces at matanggal ang scratches, dents, o marks.
  
  Iba-iba ang klase ng electric sanders. Kung gusto mo ng scratch-free finishes on flat or curved surfaces, orbital sanders ang kailangan mo. Usable ang orbital sanders sa tight spaces. Meanwhile, we recommend belt sanders like BELT SANDER - PH-MBS940 if you need faster material removal in larger areas.

When you have tough tool for tough jobs, kayeah mong pakinisin ang kahit anong surface sa pinakamabilis at maayos na paraan kung may electric sander ka.

• Electric generators

  Kung mahina o walang kuryente sa lugar mo, electric generator ang sagot diyan. Reliable source of power ‘to para sa construction sites, outdoor events, and emergency situations.
  
  If you need one now, perfect ang Portable Generator PH-PORTGEN-LI-ON-400W ng Powerhouse para sa’yo. It offers 400W of rated power and 600W of peak power kaya pwede kang gumamit ng essential tools and equipment kung nasa remote area ka or may power outage.

• Gas-powered

Also known as fuel-powered tools, these machines use gasoline for high-performance mobile tasks. Gas-powered tools are common in outdoor construction, demolition, excavation, at heavy equipment maintenance.

• Gas-powered chainsaws

  Heavy-duty lumber work at clearing ba ang next project mo? Cutting through large logs, trees, and thick branches is easier thanks to gas-powered chainsaws, like our CHAIN SAW PH-CHSW-070-36". Madali ‘tong dalhin at gamitin, lalo na sa mga malalayong project sites na walang kuryente.
  
  

• Gas-powered generators

  Para naman sa areas na walang stable power grid, this power tool is a great help. Gamit ang natural gas o biogas, mas environmentally-friendly ang generator na ‘to kumpara sa diesel generators. Kahit na may external factors like wind or typhoons, hindi basta-basta nasisira ang gas lines na nagsisilbing fuel source ng gas-powered generators.

• Gas-powered pressure washers

  These high-pressure cleaning machines are ideal for removing dirt, grime, and stains from various surfaces. OK ‘tong panglinis ng equipment, machine, construction site, at labas ng mga building at bahay

• Hydraulic

This type of power tool uses pressurized fluid to deliver powerful force in industrial and heavy construction settings.

• Hydraulic jack

  Ginagamit ang hydraulic jack sa construction sites at car repair shops pang-angat ng mga kotse, equipment, at iba-ibang mabibigat na gamit.
  
  

• Hydraulic impact wrenches

  Kailangan mo naman ng hydraulic impact wrench for loosening or tightening nuts and bolts. Pwede ‘tong pang-assemble ng mga machine o maintenance.
  
  Mula sa Powerhouse, magagamit mo ang CORDLESS IMPACT WRENCH 20V PH-20V-WLPROCIW-BRUSHLESS for easy, efficient, and powerful fastening.
  
  

• Hydraulic crimping tools

  A hydraulic crimper ay isang tool na ginagamit para i-connect ang mga dulo ng cables, wires, o ibang flexible materials tulad ng hydraulic hoses. Gamit ang hydraulic fluid mechanism, naipapasa nito ang force mula sa user papunta sa tool, making it easier to create secure and efficient crimped connections.

This tool is essential for ensuring electrical or hydraulic systems function correctly. It allows for precise and durable connections that can handle high pressures and prevent leaks or electrical failures.

• Pneumatic

Pneumatic tools are lightweight and have fewer moving parts. They're powered by compressed air and deliver high torque for tasks such as drilling. 

• Air compressors

  This tool can inflate tires and power HVAC systems. Bukod sa construction, ginagamit din ‘to sa agriculture at manufacturing projects dahil sa tibay at flexibility.
  
  

• Pneumatic drills

  Drilling applications typically use a pneumatic drill. It drills holes or breaks through hard surfaces like concrete and asphalt. Madalas' tong ginagamit sa construction, excavation, mining, at tunneling projects.
  
  

• Pneumatic impact wrenches

  Dahil sa high torque delivery, ideal ang pneumatic impact wrenches for handling demanding tasks in large-scale construction projects.

Importante ang pneumatic impact wrenches sa construction sites, manufacturing plants, at assembly lines dahil magaan at matibay gamitin ang mga ‘to. Hindi rin mabilis mag-overheat ang ganitong klaseng wrench.
