The service life of the tools and the operating instructions

We all know the joy of receiving a package! The eagerly awaited product is quickly unpacked and put to use right away. It looks good and feels good to hold. Now everything will be easier to do—the whole point of investing in good tools. But this tool also has to justify its investment costs. To do that, it needs to have a maximum service life.

However, the service life and durability of tools depend on important factors:

  • Proper maintenance
  • The correct operating parameters
  • The accessories to be used
  • Safety and hazard information

Maintenance:

The intervals specified in the operating instructions are relevant here. For example, daily or weekly lubrication of the tool and cleaning play an important role here.

The operating parameters:

The maximum drive pressure is particularly important here. The maximum inlet pressure is specified and prescribed in every operating manual. The compressed air supply often has higher pressures than are good for the tool. Filter regulators and safety valves can be used to take the necessary steps to ensure the maximum working pressure. The temperature range should not be underestimated here either. Machines and tools are made of different materials and therefore have different temperature limits. The ambient temperature and the medium being transported can quickly exceed the limits and lead to unexpected material breakage.

The accessories used:

It is bestto useoriginal accessories to maximize functionality and durability. Important parameters are ensured by using the correct and appropriate accessories. For example, the right material combinations for socket wrenches. Do not use hand screwdriver socket wrenches (these are not suitable for impact tools). Only use socket wrenches for impact tools. You will find the right tool accessories in our extensive range. We will be happy to advise you.

 

Safety and hazard information:

These are not only a legal requirement but also necessary in your own interest for accident-free working. 

With all these recommendations, I hope you enjoy using your tools.
