Market Watch: Pneumatic Tools Become the Future Star of the Hardware Industry

For a long time, electric tools have always been the iconic product of Yongkang Hardware Industry. With its excellent controllability and operability, compared with manual tools, it greatly reduces labor intensity, improves work efficiency, and achieves manual operation mechanization, which is lower in cost and easier to control than pneumatic tools. However, with the development of society, the progress of the times, the innovation of science and technology, pneumatic tools are gradually becoming a future star in the hardware industry.

China Science & Technology Hardware City, as the nation's largest hardware professional market, brings together various hardware products from across the country and even from around the world. In this type of multi-faceted and highly competitive market, the number of shops engaged in pneumatic tools business is gradually increasing. This shows that pneumatic tools products have considerable development prospects and superior market environment.

Wu Mou, the head of the sales department of Yongkang Sanjian Tools Co., Ltd., which has been operating in the hardware city since 1996, has gone through sixteen years with the hardware city. From the beginning, sales of electric tools and abrasives to abrasives on the Hardware South Road single-room shop, and to renting three business rooms to operate pneumatic tools products in the three-zone market, the marketing department has taken shape. According to reports, Hu Mou began his career in pneumatic tools since 2000, and was also the first company to sell nail guns in the hardware market. At present, the marketing department mainly manages the “Sanyu” and “BigName” self-owned brands of trachea, joints and blowing dust guns, and also acts as a Ningbo Muzi spray gun and other various brands of pneumatic tools and spare parts.

Speaking of why the pneumatic tools have a promising future, Hu Mou analyzed the reasons for this. First of all, in terms of working ability, the pneumatic tool can be easily operated through the operation of the gas supply valve handle and adjustment of the regulating valve, and more levels of selection can be provided in the rotational speed range. In the case of the same output power, it is smaller than the electric power tool. Lightweight, the pneumatic tool is more suitable for long-time operation without the occurrence of heat, and even if the compressed air engine is overloaded, the tool simply stops rotating, and resumes normal operation once the overload condition is released. Secondly, in terms of environmental applicability, pneumatic tools have stronger water resistance. Although immersed in water is harmful to the tool, it will not produce electric sparks like electric tools, causing harm. And because the pneumatic tool can use the internal combustion engine air pump, it can adapt to various bad or harsh environments. Finally, in terms of economy, the initial investment of power tools is relatively low, but long-term use of energy is relatively high, and the cost of tool repair and replacement is also high. The initial investment in pneumatic tools requires the establishment of air-pressure piping equipment, but the long-term use of the equipment is low in energy consumption and tool maintenance.
