Power tools have come a long way from their corded ancestors. Modern battery-powered tools offer unmatched freedom, power and reliability on the jobsite. For assembly workers, upgrading to professional grade cordless power tools can revolutionize workflows and boost productivity.
Cordless Innovation
Just a decade ago, most power tools ran on nicad or nickel metal hydride batteries. While reliable, these dated battery packs were big, heavy and took hours to charge. Lithium ion cells changed everything. Today’s lithium battery packs charge faster, last longer per charge and weigh much less than old nicad blocks.
Brushless motors have also supercharged cordless tools. Without noisy, friction- inducing brushes, brushless motors run smoother, cooler and more efficiently. Coupled with advanced battery tech, pro grade cordless power tools now deliver corded tool performance without the hassle of a cord. Cordless reciprocating saws, circular saws, SDS rotary hammers and more rival or exceed the power of plug-in models.
The Power of Flexibility
For industrial assembly workers, upgraded cordless power tools bring new levels of flexibility and control. Compact, lightweight designs allow maneuvering into tight spaces. No more fighting extension cords or hauling around cumbersome bench tools. Most professional tool kits include interchangeable lithium ion battery packs that can power an entire platform of tools.
Need to assemble a piece on a scaffold? Simply clip on a compact cordless drill/driver. Facing a demolition job? Grab the cordless reciprocating saw with the same battery pack once the drilling work is done. No waiting around for charges; just swap packs and keep working. With storage cases that double as chargers, battery packs can charge while not in use.
Common Cordless Power Tools for Assembly
Cordless power tools for assembly tasks typically include:
- Drill/Drivers – The cordless drill/driver is the core of any industrial toolkit. Drill/drivers handle drilling, driving fasteners, stirring adhesives and more assembly tasks. Brushless motors supply relentless power in a compact body. Many feature multiple speed ranges and torque settings to match the job.
- Impact Drivers – Where drill/drivers may struggle in serious driving, the impact driver thrives. The percussive hammer action helps sink long fasteners through denser materials with less effort. Larger impact wrenches serve automotive service but compact impact drivers work great for fastener-intensive tech projects.
- Impact Wrenches – The industrial cordless impact wrench blasts through driving, demolition, disassembly and removal jobs. High torque brushless motors make quick work of large fasteners without dangerous kickback. For mobile mechanics, auto techs and industrial assembly pros impact wrenches are a must-have.
- Oscillating Multi-Tools – Nothing beats an oscillating multi-tool for detailed cutwork. The rapid side-to-side motion of the blade makes amazingly precise, clean cuts in wood, plastic and even metal materials. It excels at plunge cuts and flush cutting without damaging surrounding material. From carpentry to HVAC and auto work, the multi-tool cuts assembly times.
- Rotary Hammers – Concrete drilling and chiseling calls for a heavy duty rotary hammer. Also called SDS or SDS-plus drills, these brute force tools drive large bits through concrete slabs. The hammer action makes drilling through concrete faster with less binding. Cordless models with brushless motors handle most drilling/chiseling tasks.
