There are two different types of power tools on the market. One is the typical handyman or homeowner model of tool, and the other is the heavy-duty model that is designed for professionals in the construction industry.
While it is never a concern for the homeowner to choose an industrial model of power tool, it is a significant issue if a lower powered model is used by professionals. These tools simply do not stand up to the demands of a construction site and usually end up with a very short life cycle.
Before choosing any power tools, there are several factors that industrial users need to consider. This will not only ensure they are purchasing the correct make and model, but it will also provide the power needed for any job.
Precision Tools
There are a variety of tool manufacturers that market precision lines of tools. These allow for additional refinement to different styles of power saws, drills, and grinders. With the ability to set and control for depth, speed and measurement, cutting, drilling, and grinding can be completed quickly and accurately without waste or mistakes.
Additionally, power tools that are used for industrial use are designed to offer more power. They are often recommended for use with specific types of blades, drills and grinding wheels to ensure the components can perform to the power provided by the tool.
Brand Recognition
When it comes to professional quality tools that will stand up to hours of use on a daily basis, the brand name and the reputation of the manufacturer is an important factor. Choosing an unknown brand is taking a gamble on the quality of the tool once you get it to the job.
Companies such as Bosch, Dewalt, and Makita have earned their reputation for durability, reliability and the quality of their products that make them international brands with a top reputation.
