Compressed air vs electric assembly tools – which is cheaper?

In the vast majority of cases, it’s about price when you are faced with choosing new equipment that can optimize your daily life. However, it is important to have a long-term perspective when making your choice. What is cheap in initial costs may turn out to be (too) expensive in the long run.

Gold can be bought too dearly, and it makes no sense to waste the company’s money on a solution you don’t need. And it absolutely makes no sense to save the last pennies if the solution then cannot solve the task for you.

Therefore, carefully consider what you actually get for the money you spend, and the value it creates in your daily work and in the long term for the business.

Compressed Air

Initial costs are typically higher, even though the tool itself is often cheaper than the electric counterpart. They also often last longer. However, one must remember that you cannot use the tool without a compressed air compressor, hoses, etc., which can be very expensive and require a lot of maintenance to maintain strength, so this must be included in the equation.

Electric

Electric tools require lower initial investments, and one of the advantages of this is that the power supply is an integrated part of the tool and therefore always delivers maximum power, so no additional investment and maintenance are required, unlike compressed air tools.
