Pneumatic Tool Set
A pneumatic tool set is a collection of tools powered by compressed air. These sets typically include multiple tools designed for a variety of applications, offering portability and high power output.
Material:
- Tool Housings: Commonly constructed from aluminum alloy, composite materials, or high-strength plastics for durability and weight reduction.
- Internal Components: Steel alloys are prevalent for pistons, hammers, gears, and other moving parts due to their strength and resistance to wear.
- Air Fittings: Brass or stainless steel are used for connectors, hoses, and regulators to prevent corrosion and ensure airtight seals.
- Hoses: Typically made of reinforced rubber or polyurethane for flexibility and resistance to pressure.
Purpose:
Pneumatic tool sets are designed for tasks requiring significant force or speed, often in environments where electricity is impractical or unsafe. They are frequently used in automotive repair, construction, manufacturing, woodworking, and general maintenance.
Function:
These tools convert the potential energy of compressed air into mechanical work. An air compressor provides pressurized air, which is then channeled to the tool, driving its internal mechanisms. The operation varies depending on the specific tool.
Usage Scenarios:
- Automotive Repair: Impact wrenches for loosening/tightening bolts, ratchets for general fastening, grinders for metalworking, sanders for surface preparation.
- Construction: Nailers/staplers for framing/roofing, demolition hammers for breaking concrete, impact wrenches for scaffolding assembly.
- Manufacturing: Assembly line tasks, fastening, cutting, grinding, and finishing operations.
- Woodworking: Nailers, staplers, sanders, routers for shaping and assembling wood components.
- General Maintenance: Fastening, loosening, cutting, grinding, and other repair tasks.
Common Types:
- Impact Wrenches: Deliver high torque for loosening/tightening nuts and bolts. Available in various drive sizes (e.g., 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1").
- Impact Ratchets: Offer continuous rotational force, useful for tightening/loosening in tight spaces.
- Nailers/Staplers: Drive nails or staples for fastening wood, roofing, or upholstery. Types include framing nailers, roofing nailers, brad nailers, and staple guns.
- Grinders: Used for cutting, grinding, polishing, and sanding metal and other materials. Available in angle grinder, die grinder, and straight grinder variations.
- Sanders: Used for smoothing and finishing surfaces. Types include orbital sanders, belt sanders, and detail sanders.
- Drills: Provide rotational force for creating holes in various materials.
- Chisels/Hammers: Deliver impact force for breaking concrete, removing rust, or shaping metal.
- Sprayers: Apply paint, coatings, or lubricants.
- Cutters/Nibblers: Cut sheet metal or other materials.
- Riveters: Fasten materials using rivets.
Advantages:
- High Power-to-Weight Ratio: Provide substantial force in a relatively lightweight package.
- Portability: Can be easily moved between job sites.
- Durability: Typically built to withstand harsh working conditions.
- Safety: Reduced risk of electrical shock or sparks in flammable environments.
- Cost-Effective: Often more affordable than equivalent electric tools.
Disadvantages:
- Requires Air Compressor: Requires a separate air compressor, which adds to the overall cost and complexity.
- Air Hose Limitations: Restricted by the length of the air hose.
- Noise: Can be noisy during operation.
- Moisture: Moisture in the air line can cause corrosion and reduce tool performance.
Pneumatic Tool Set Classification
Based on the provided information, the following HS codes are relevant to a pneumatic tool set:
- 8467920090: This HS code falls under Chapter 84, which covers machinery and mechanical appliances. Specifically, Heading 8467 concerns tools for working in the hand, pneumatic, hydraulic or with self-contained electric or nonelectric motor, and parts thereof. Subheading 84679200 further specifies parts of pneumatic tools, and 8467920090 represents 'Other' within that category. The applicable tax rate structure is a base tariff of 0.0%, a surcharge of 7.5%, and a surcharge of 30% after April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 37.5%.
It is important to note that this HS code applies to the parts of pneumatic tools. If the set includes complete pneumatic tools, the broader heading within Chapter 84 should be considered.
According to the provided reference material, the HS code options related to 'pneumatic tool set' are limited, with only the following 1 found.
