Fastening Tools
(Also known as Pneumatic Fastening Tools / Air-Powered Assembly Tools)
Fastening Tools are specialized industrial tools designed to tighten, loosen, and secure bolts, screws, rivets, and various fasteners with precision, speed, and reliability. They provide consistent torque output and stable performance for assembly, manufacturing, maintenance, and construction tasks. Available in pneumatic, electric, cordless, and hydraulic configurations, fastening tools support a wide range of applications, including automotive repair, machinery production, electronics assembly, metal fabrication, and general industrial work.
Built with durable internal components and robust housings, these tools withstand continuous heavy-duty use while delivering smooth, controlled, fastening action that reduces operator effort and improves accuracy. Ergonomic designs, lightweight structures, and low vibration operation enhance comfort and productivity during extended work periods. Fastening Tools include impact wrenches, screwdrivers, nut runners, riveters, and torque-controlled tools, offering solutions for both high-torque and delicate-precision fastening needs.
Fastening Tools are essential for technicians, assembly workers, and maintenance teams who require dependable performance, adaptable configurations, and long service life to maintain consistent fastening quality and efficient workflow in modern industrial environments.
Working Principle
Air Supply: Compressed air enters the tool through an inlet.
Motor Drive: The air drives a rotary vane motor or piston mechanism, producing mechanical rotation or impact.
Torque Application: The motor’s output applies controlled torque or percussive force to a socket, bit, or riveting mechanism.
Control & Regulation: Built-in regulators or external controllers adjust torque levels, ensuring accuracy and repeatability.
Main Categories of Fastening Air Tools
| Tool Type | Function | Typical Applications |
