Re: Pneumatic Restrictions & Improvments
There is one other potential reason for teams to want to use "shop air".
If you've got a properly sized compressor, you've got a very reliable and steady source of power for your tools, and possibly smaller tools to transport. If you use a cordless tool, you'll probably run out of charged batteries at some point, particularly if you've only got one or two batteries to start with. And if you've used corded tools, they're only good for as long as their cord, or you're using an extension cord, while an air line coils neatly but extends as long as you'd need it.
