Contractors in today’s workforce are often faced with a large number of responsibilities and skills to be successful in their field. This also means that they are no strangers to using compressed air to get their jobs done. Let’s see some common compressed air uses for contractors.

Contractors typically use air compressors for:

  • Woodworking
    • Pneumatic tools are powered by compressed air, and are very often used in woodworking applications.
  • Concrete Breaking
    • Oftentimes, contractors will use tools like jackhammers or breakers to break up concrete and rock, which are powered by air compressors.
  • Demolition
    • Pneumatic and heavy-duty tools powered by compressed air can be used by contractors to demolish structures.
  • Sanding
    • Sanding down surfaces are often used with air-powered tools.
