Sanders¡ª¡ªAir vs Electric

Sanders are just simply great tools. Imagine the ¡°old days¡± of having a job that needs sanded spending large amounts of time with a piece of sandpaper, sanding away. Obviously this was not a very efficient way to get a job done. Nowadays, there is no need to resort to this primitive way of completing a sanding job. However, there are still options when it comes to your sander. For example, should you go with an air or an electric sander?

Air tools , realistically, are more efficient. The speed in which you will be able to do a job with an air sander is amazing when compared to other types. They are more versatile because you have the option to take them places that may not have an electrical outlet available. Because air tools stand up to wear and tear better than other types of electrical tools, an air sander will benefit you in that replacements will be minimal.

Some air sanders also double for buffers , making them a great 2-in-1 tool. Mechanics can sand the metal they need to sand, and then utilize the same tool to buff the vehicle. The same air compressor that powers many of your other tools will be more than adequate for the power that most air sanders require.
