Once upon a time, battery-powered screwdrivers and torque wrenches were confined to workbenches and toolboxes. Today, cordless tools offer a serious alternative to traditional electric and pneumatic production equipment on the shop floor.
Cordless, battery-powered tools offer a distinct advantage in that they can fit in tight spaces where an air hose or electrical cord may restrict easy access and maneuverability. They also eliminate the trip hazards created by hoses and cords running across the shop floor as well as the downtime that results whenever an operator has to untangle a snagged a cord or hose.
